Additional Notes

• Always update and introduce a new attack in the flask web application before testing for any new attack.
• Always seek help with teammates before merging anything critical to the main branch.
• Brainstorm with teammates for any difficulties encountered.
• Ensure all new modules are configurable and adhere to the overall design
• Validate that all updates work seamlessly together before merging into the main branch.
