Alright,

I saw many people wondering how this hack works. If you are a noob, and just want to mess up with your teacher, you should follow this noob-guide.

First things first

Before you can "hack", you have to install the programming language called Go. Download it from here.
After you installed Go, you have to install the Gorilla Websocket. Do it this way:

  1. Open the Commandprompt. (Windows key + R, then type CMD and hit ENTER)
  2. Type: go get github.com/gorilla/websocket and hit ENTER. The operation is done when you see C:\Users\YourUserName> under the command you just entered.

Now we're talking

We are going to install the kahoot-hack. Typing in the following: go get github.com/unixpickle/kahoot-hack will not work, because there are no installation files in that directory. So we have to do it manually.
Go to github.com/unixpickle/kahoot-hack in your favourite browser, and click on Download ZIP.

Extract the downloaded zip-file to your desktop (or somewhere else) and move the folder to C:\Go\src\github.com\unixpickle

So, if you did it right, you'll have the following folders:

  1. C:\ (don't say you don't have it)
  2. C:\Go (your Go installation folder)
  3. C:\Go\src (all sources)
  4. C:\Go\src\github.com (all sources from GitHub.com)
  5. C:\Go\src\github.com\unixpickle (all sources from unixpickle at Github.com)
  6. C:\Go\src\github.com\unixpickle\kahoot-hack (the kahoot-hack files, as shown in the main page you'll see when you visit this webpage)

The actual hacking process

Once again, open the commandprompt as described above. Type in the following:
go run c:/go/src/github.com/unixpickle/kahoot-hack/kahoot-flood/main.go 123456 hacker 999

A little further explanation

go run is the base command. It tells your computer to execute a Go program.
c:/go/src/github.com/unixpickle/kahoot-hack/kahoot-flood/main'.go tells your computer where the program is located.
123456 This is a variable value. It is the Game-PIN of your Kahoot. So it could be for example: 409268 or: 934820, etc.
hacker is the prefix of your nickname. So it doesn't matter what it is, but you may not use spaces!
999 is the amount of joins. So if your nickname is hacker and you typed in 6, the program will spawn 6 "people" in the game. You'll get this:
hacker1
hacker2
(...)
hacker5
hacker6

And that's it

I hope it's a bit more clear now.

Happy Hacking!
