Learn to Exploit TOCTOU Race Condition Vulnerabilities with OWASP TimeGap Theory
summary
Claims that TOCTOU (race) bugs are real beyond payments and demonstrates a working OWASP TimeGap Theory CTF (seven challenges, Dockerized) that reliably creates duplicate accounts, bypasses account lockouts, mints reward points and even wins a 2,000‑point “ticket to Mars.” Exploits use plain tools: browser devtools (fetch/copy as curl), parallel requests or simple delays, and dedicated tooling like race the web. Proof shows PHP and other platforms inherit race flaws and the lab actually reproduces each failure.
