In this post, I’ll cover how the open source project I created — ctfd-account-hook — evolved to support a long-running, secured HTTP request to notify nearly 4,000 registered participants over email.
It’s become so ubiquitous, that it’s easy to forget what a marvel the HTTP specification truly is. When you browse to website, like https://snyk.io, that triggers a flurry of additional HTTP requests to retrieve JavaScript, images, videos, and other assets. And within seconds, you see a fully rendered page. In fact, the goal of any consumer-facing website is to deliver an entirely rendered web page within a few seconds at most, or else they could lose traffic to a slightly faster site (seconds add up!).
I’m proud of the ctfd-account-hook project and I welcome contributions to it! I’m participating in Hacktoberfest, so you can get badges for getting pull requests accepted.
Under the hood, we use the open source CTF platform, CTFd. CTFd has its own system for registration and login. However, we wanted to use our own registration landing event for style and tracking purposes. Here are the requirements from our marketing team:
