It was hard a lesson indeed... it is no fairy tale my friend. I know many many self-taught programmers who make more money than you can ever imagine. real people and friends.

Maybe, but not everyone is so lucky to have the same access opportunity. Nevertheless, I bet that those students could get the same contents from the Internet for free. I am not talking about college credential here. You will be punished by society and stay jobless if you don't get credential, but the knowledge is something else.
codingcall··on Can a hacker prevent access to a form and submit before anyone else?
Thank you, the developer behind the website had know idea about ratelimiting, and myself thought this is only use with an api. I will look into that, but do you really think if someone is geographically close to the server that they have a better advantage to those coming from other countries? I mean this could be one of the things to consider in order to give an equal chance for all applicants.

Thanks again

Interesting. I did not know you can do that. Thanks a lot for this piece of information about scripting the form and submit before browser renders. I will look into that as well.

I am sorry I sounded suspicious, but it is what I said it was except it is not admission. It is some kind of a special program enrolment (First come, first serve). I am not the hacker or an applicant; I am just trying to give them the best professional advice I can.

I have thought of cloudflare and it is in the top of my recommendations. So far, the random pick is the most feasible solution. Thanks for your feedback
