The problem statement says:
```I heard you have some "delusions of grandeur" about your typing speed.How fast can you go at shell2017.picoctf.com:30277?```
On doing a netcat at `shell2017.picoctf.com` on port `30277`, we get thefollowing message from the server:
```To prove your skills, you must pass this test.Please give me the 'v' character '561' times, followed by a single '9'.To make things interesting, you have 30 seconds.Input:```
It turns out that the server asks for a random character each time.The next time I did a netcat, I got:
```To prove your skills, you must pass this test.Please give me the 'F' character '777' times, followed by a single '9'.To make things interesting, you have 30 seconds.Input:```
## Solution
Create a socket to the given server and port.Receive a few bytes from the server, enough to get the entire message.
Parse this message to see which character is to be sent how many times tothe server.
Create a string based on this message and send those bytes to the server.
Call the receive function to get the flag from the server.
