Note: These writeups are purposefully short. Each problem had a hint that made the problem trivial to solve.

Login authentication was gated by a cookie named `isAdmin` that was being set to `False`. Simply intercept the request (using Burpsuite proxy, for example) and update the cookie's value to be `True`.
