Safe

hey there ,
i manage to run the app locally but i am having hard time make it work remotely !!!
can anyone pm me to give me a hint

Encountering this kind of challenge for the first time and so I am not able to get a foothold. Would someone please recommend me some resources to get started with? Any specific IPPsec videos maybe?

Can someone PM me to help me with root?

Got it

Have a look at IPSec’s Bitterman video.

Does anyone have an idea how I can get hashcat to run in a VM environment when I can’t use GPU? I’ve tried all the results I’ve found online but I still can’t get it to work.

OK. I have the root password from k**"£ss but I can’t login with it. WTF? Any clues?

If I recall corrently, the ‘–force’ option should work.

I tried that but still nothing. I used jtr in the end which went fine.

Thanks though :slight_smile:

I found high port 1**7 but I didn’t fine binary file. Could anyone give me any hints?

@putuamo You can get the app itself from the regular port. Poke around a little bit and you should find it.

I was able to get the app, offsets, and put together the start of an exploit based on IppSec’s Bitterman video, but having trouble reading data from the app when using pwntools. When I run the exploit I don’t get a seg fault anymore and it just exits normally. I read earlier posts about issues with the \n character and have tried several other methods of reading data, but no luck. Any hints on the right direction?

Hey guys, having a really hard time getting started on this one… I’m assuming I should be focusing on the ***7 port but alas my web skills are not as good as most of you. Any of you care to help a n00b stop being a n00b :smile:

@S0l3x , I am in the flames of ■■■■ trying to learn this box but I can tell you that you need to get ahold of the binary and analyze the ■■■■ out of it! My brain is ffried LOL

Good day, everyone!

I have beend trapped with writing my own exploit to get into the secret function (seems that it has what we need).
I’ve tryed to read bunch of useful sites like ret2rop, watched few bof videos, even tryed to override returning address directly through gdb - still have no success at all.
I have vague thought, that it can be also problem of my environment (VMware Kali x64)

If anyone has some good learning materials or maybe, some hints about how to correctly overflow buffer, please pm me here or in the discord

I’m having a hard time finding the “interesting binary” from the lower port. So far I used manual enum or dirb, none of these seem to help me. Anyone could send me a gentle nudge?

Hints for buffer overflow:

  • If you own the stack, you own the IP
  • Make sure you look at all the functions available to you, even if they aren’t called
  • “set disable-randomization off” in gdb helps see what you have and what you can’t count on

Finally got the B*F after reading @miccah’s comment. Just a little tweak got a working local exploit to work remotely as well, ignoring ASLR.

Root was easy but a little frustrating at first.

Feel free to PM me about the BOF; explaining stuff to others will help me solidify things.

Also interested in this… I’m interested in your methodology for finding the binary. Someone told me where it is, and how to get it, but I would have never gotten it on on my own. If someone that has found it, would kindly msg me with HOW they found it, i’d be very appreciative…

how to extract that binary i’m stuck at the point

At this point I’m trying various crawlers, but none of them return anything. Is there a better way of finding that file?

you can get it from the normal port
