competition-web-runtime

Helps your agent inspect websites and APIs in a safe environment. It follows real requests, debugs authentication flows, and traces frontend and backend behavior.

What it does

This tool helps understand how a website or application works internally, especially when you're trying to uncover secrets or solve problems. It observes the requests the browser makes and how the server responds.

When to use it

  • ✓When you want to see how a website loads its information.
  • ✓When you need to understand how login or registration processes work.
  • ✓When you want to discover hidden routes or functions on a website.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Analyze the requests the site makes to load the main page and tell me how authentication is handled.”

Use this skill to help me: https://github.com/zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill/blob/main/CTF-Sandbox-Orchestrator/competition-web-runtime/SKILL.md Read the SKILL.md file at that link and follow its instructions for my task.
How it works

The tool simulates browser usage to send requests and observe responses. It pays attention to details like cookies, saved data, and the order of calls between the browser and the server.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill --skill competition-web-runtime

Or download just the file:

Competition Web Runtime

Use this skill only as a downstream specialization after $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator is already active and has established sandbox assumptions, node ownership, and evidence priorities. If that has not happened yet, return to $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator first.

Use this skill when the active challenge is primarily about web behavior, browser state, server routing, API order, or worker-backed application flow.

Reply in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests English.

Quick Start

  1. Assume the presented hosts, domains, and routes belong to the sandbox.
  2. Inspect entry HTML, boot scripts, runtime config, and route registration before trusting the visible UI.
  3. Capture one real request flow end-to-end before making broad claims from source.
  4. Check browser persistence and backend state together.
  5. Re-run the smallest flow with one variable changed.

Workflow

1. Map The Active Runtime

  • Identify active hosts, paths, proxies, containers, and workers.
  • Inspect cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, Cache Storage, and service workers.
  • Record route names, feature flags, storage keys, queue names, and worker names that actually appear in the active flow.

2. Capture The Real Request Order

  • Record exact host, path, query, headers, cookies, and body for decisive requests.
  • Compare successful and failing paths.
  • Treat UI gating as a hint, not proof of backend enforcement.

3. Expand Only After One Path Is Proven

  • Trace middleware order, handlers, auth/session boundaries, uploads, exports, and background jobs.
  • Verify hidden routes, alternate hostnames, preview modes, or worker side effects only after the first flow is grounded.

Read This Reference

  • Load references/routing-runtime.md for the detailed checklist, evidence packaging, and common web pitfalls.
  • If the task is specifically about SSR loaders, template context, hydration payloads, preview rendering, or render-layer enforcement drift, prefer $competition-template-render-path.
  • If the task is specifically about source maps, build manifests, chunk registries, emitted bundles, or recovering hidden runtime structure from served assets, prefer $competition-bundle-sourcemap-recovery.
  • If the task is specifically about GraphQL schemas, RPC manifests, persisted queries, generated clients, or contract-to-handler drift, prefer $competition-graphql-rpc-drift.
  • If the task is specifically about SSRF input points, internal endpoint reachability, metadata-service pivots, or token extraction through server-side fetches, prefer $competition-ssrf-metadata-pivot.
  • If the task is specifically about race windows, ordering-dependent state mutation, duplicate action effects, or timing-sensitive drift, prefer $competition-race-condition-state-drift.
  • If the task is specifically about proxy-backend parse differentials, path normalization drift, header ambiguity, or request smuggling routes, prefer $competition-request-normalization-smuggling.
  • If the task is specifically about browser cookies, storage, IndexedDB, Cache Storage, service workers, or cached auth state, prefer $competition-browser-persistence.
  • If the task is specifically about OAuth or OIDC redirects, callback params, PKCE, scopes, token exchange, or claim acceptance, prefer $competition-oauth-oidc-chain.
  • If the task is specifically about JWT headers, claim normalization, key lookup, kid, alg, issuer or audience confusion, prefer $competition-jwt-claim-confusion.
  • If the task is specifically about upload parsing, previews, archive extraction, converters, or deserialization chains, prefer $competition-file-parser-chain.
  • If the task is specifically about queue payloads, worker-only behavior, retries, cron drift, or async side effects, prefer $competition-queue-worker-drift.
  • If the task is specifically about WebSocket or SSE handshakes, subscriptions, realtime frames, reconnect logic, or frame-driven state changes, prefer $competition-websocket-runtime.
  • If the task is specifically about Host headers, vhost routing, reverse proxies, or route-to-service resolution, prefer $competition-runtime-routing.
  • If the only available evidence is a packet capture and the hard part is stream or protocol reconstruction, prefer $competition-pcap-protocol.

What To Preserve

  • Exact requests and responses that prove behavior
  • Concrete file paths, function names, route names, and storage keys

FAQ

What are 'requests'?

These are the 'questions' your browser sends to the website's server asking for information, like the text of a page or an image.

What are 'cookies' and 'storage'?

These are places where the website saves small pieces of information in your browser to remember you, like your login or preferences.

Why is the order of requests important?

The order in which information is requested and received can reveal how the website works and where there might be flaws or secrets.
