El Bandito — TryHackMe

An exposed Spring Boot Actuator plus an nginx /.;/ path-ACL bypass leaks admin creds and the first flag; an HTTP/2 H2.CL desync then captures an internal bot’s request, stealing its flag cookie.

Plant Photographer — TryHackMe

Robots — TryHackMe

XSS in a registration form exfiltrates the admin’s session cookie; RFI via the admin URL-tester gives www-data code execution; double-MD5 cracking yields SSH access, and a sudo apache2 logging trick writes a root SSH key.

Bouncer — DalCTF 2026

A read-only anonymous FTP gateway turns out to be a Redis health-check proxy; abusing the PORT command for an FTP bounce plus a newline-smuggled RETR inline command yields a bidirectional Redis relay that scans the subnet and reads the flag.

DEAD VAULT — Zer0d4yh31st CTF

A Money Heist–themed Flask app hides a flag split into three fragments behind a server-side URL fetcher, bypassed with a DNS-based SSRF to reach the internal API and a privileged file-read endpoint.

SecretPickle — GPN CTF 2026

A Pyodide client serializes requests with pickle obfuscated by a hardcoded XOR key, letting the server pickle.loads attacker data for unauthenticated root RCE, then hooking the live handler to capture the adminbot’s plaintext login password.

Secure Secretpickle — GPN CTF 2026

The hardened secretpickle runs pickle.loads in a write-only seccomp sandbox, but the adminbot action visits an attacker URL with no scheme check and returns a screenshot, so file:///flag.txt renders the flag into the image.
