Fear the EAR: Execution After Redirect

UCSB’s International Capture The Flag Competition 2010 Challenge 6: Fear The EAR

A walkthrough of an iCTF 2010 challenge built to publicise Execution After Redirect, where server code keeps running past an intended termination point and leaks the response body alongside a 302. Browsers and tools such as wget and curl follow the redirect and hide the leaked page, so the flaw is hard to spot; only 12 of 34 exposed teams noticed it.
