Binary Exploitation Protostar Final0 - Walkthrough

Binary Exploitation Protostar Final0 - Walkthrough

Thursday, July 12, 2018
Hello Guys,



Today In This post, I am going to share with you my walk through experience of Exploit Exercise Proto Star Final0 Level.


Before Starting Our Walkthrough Let's Take a Look At Hints And Details.

Note: I want to highlight Few Points.

  • I'm not the creator of protostar war game. I am just a player.
  • Here, I am Just providing you hints and reference so, that if you feel stuck anywhere. Take a Look Here.
  • Understand all previous levels before starting this one.
  • Do some research on Assembly, C/C++ and Gdb
  • Do Some Research About Heap overflow exploitation.
  •  All Credit Related To Exploit Exercise War Games Goes To exploit-exercises.com.

let's Start

Hint


This level combines a stack overflow and network programming for a remote overflow.

Hints: depending on where you are returning to, you may wish to use a toupper() proof shellcode.

Core files will be in /tmp.

This level is at /opt/protostar/bin/final0

Source Code


#include "../common/common.c"

#define NAME "final0"
#define UID 0
#define GID 0
#define PORT 2995

/*
 * Read the username in from the network
 */

char *get_username()
{
  char buffer[512];
  char *q;
  int i;

  memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
  gets(buffer);

  /* Strip off trailing new line characters */
  q = strchr(buffer, '\n');
  if(q) *q = 0;
  q = strchr(buffer, '\r');
  if(q) *q = 0;

  /* Convert to lower case */
  for(i = 0; i < strlen(buffer); i++) {
      buffer[i] = toupper(buffer[i]);
  }

  /* Duplicate the string and return it */
  return strdup(buffer);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
{
  int fd;
  char *username;

  /* Run the process as a daemon */
  background_process(NAME, UID, GID); 
  
  /* Wait for socket activity and return */
  fd = serve_forever(PORT);

  /* Set the client socket to STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR */
  set_io(fd);

  username = get_username();
  
  printf("No such user %s\n", username);
}


Description

Well, Friends Honestly. After Reading Source Code of this Program. I Detected Buffer Overflow Vulnerability Just In 2 Minutes.

here,
  gets(buffer);


Because In Our Previous Level We Already Encounter This Function Vulnerability.


But Then my mind detected a problem.




  /* Convert to lower case */
  for(i = 0; i < strlen(buffer); i++) {
      buffer[i] = toupper(buffer[i]);
  }




Well, Those Who are not understanding what actually this codes does. This codes change


all lowercase letter into Upper case. So, Now We need to find a shellcode that can easily


bypass this condition. After Googling I Got Below Shellcode from Exploit-db.
