Wowza was a difficult web problem from PlaidCTF 2021. Players were tasked with using a search engine's site-management console to attack the search engine itself. The intended solution required exploiting a race condition in SQLite and a consistency bug in immutable.js. Unfortunately, a discrepency between node-fetch and the browser's built in fetch meant that the latter bug was not needed.

First, build the docker containers for the problem

cd problem
yarn docker:all

Then, the easiest way to get started is to just run

docker-compose up -d

And navigate to http://localhost:16284 and http://localhost:16285

Alternatively, the problem comes with a harness for running one instance per user. To set it up with the harness, run

cd ../harness
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

And navigate to http://localhost:1064
