#Practice requesting a Flash Loan:
1- Go to the AAVE Testnet Faucet and request some test tokens ( Please watch tutorial video for full guidance ).
2- Go to Cookbook.dev then search for the AAVE Flash loan Attacker Contract, open it then click open in Remix.
3- Replace the entire contract code with the code found in the N2D_Sample_AAVE_Flash_Loan_Contract.sol contract on this repo.
4- Copy the AAVE Testnet PoolAddressesProvider Smart Contract Address
https://docs.aave.com/developers/deployed-contracts/v3-testnet-addresses
5- Deploy the smart contract by providing the PoolAddressProvider address obtained on step 4.
6- Send some test USDC tokens obtained in step 1 to the smart contract deployed on step 5.
7- Test requesting a flash loan by executing requestFlashLoan and providing:
```shell
_token - this is the AAVE Testnet USDC token contract address
_amount - the amount to request on the loan. Remember USDC is 6 decimals so if requesting 10 USDC the value is 10000000
```
8- Confirm that the loan was obtained by looking at the transaction on the block explorer.
