One live PHP callback against the Steal My Bitcoin challenge, start to finish, in a single standard-library Python file.
This README explains stealmybitcoin_poc.py, a single-file Python reproduction of the request sequence used in my Steal My Bitcoin CTF run. It uses only Python's standard library. The script builds the requests itself, checks each leak before moving on, and records the HTTP bytes from a new run.
This can probably be done easier without all the extra debug crap and as in my John Hammond video about the Steam Local Privilege Escalation I discovered, you could probably clean up this ugly PoC.
Everything below is written against the Docker lab, not the live challenge. The lab is a local Alpine PHP 8.4.26 CLI server behind nginx, which is the same build and worker model the offsets were calibrated on. Stand it up in a minute and the whole chain runs end to end on your own machine. The live run that actually solved the challenge is kept as a historical note at the bottom.
