As every year hacking-lab.com carried out the annual Hacky Easter event with 27 challenges. I could not spend as much time as I would have liked to on solving the challenges, but after all I managed to collect 25 of the 27 eggs and focused on this writeup. |
angstromCTF 2018 – writeup hellcode
The angstromCTF 2018 (ctftime.org) ran from 16/03/2018, 20:00 UTC to 23/03/2018 00:00 UTC.
As the description on ctftime.org states, the ctf is primarily geared towards high school students but with a very wide range of challenge difficulty.
There have been a lot of interesting challenges which have been fun to do. I decided to make a writeup for the pwn challenge hellcode.
RPISEC/MBE: writeup lab09 (C++)
In the last lab we focused on Misc and Stack Cookies. In this next to last lab some characteristics when dealing with C++ are introduced.
RPISEC/MBE: writeup lab08 (Misc and Stack Cookies)
While the last lab introduced the subject of Heap Exploitation, this lab focuses on Misc and Stack Cookies.
The lab contains three levels again ranging from C to A:
–> lab8C
–> lab8B
–> lab8A

TAMUctf 18 – writeup pwn1-5
The Texas A&M University CTF (ctftime.org) ran for over one week from 17/02/2018, 00:00 UTC to 26/02/2018 00:00 UTC. There have been a lot of challenges starting at a very easy difficulty.
I did the five pwn challenges ranging from 25 to 200 points:
–> pwn1 (25 pts)
–> pwn2 (50 pts)
–> pwn3 (75 pts)
–> pwn4 (125 pts)
–> pwn5 (200 pts)
RPISEC/MBE: writeup lab07 (Heap Exploitation)
After we have introduced ASLR and ways to bypass it in the last writeup, we will expand our exploits to the Heap in this lab.
In this lab there are only two levels:
–> lab7C
–> lab7A
Continue reading “RPISEC/MBE: writeup lab07 (Heap Exploitation)”
RPISEC/MBE: writeup lab06 (ASLR)
The previous lab focused on the subject of return oriented programming in order to circumvent data execution prevention. The next lab described in this writeup introduces ASLR.
The single levels of this lab range from C to A:
–> lab6C
–> lab6B
–> lab6A
Note: ASLR should be enabled by now.
RPISEC/MBE: writeup lab05 (DEP and ROP)
In the last writeup we used different format string vulnerabilites in order to exploit the provided binaries. This writeup continues with lab05 which introduces DEP and ROP.
As usual there are three levels ranging from C to A:
–> lab5C
–> lab5B
–> lab5A
RPISEC/MBE: writeup lab04 (Format Strings)
In the last lab, which writeup can be found here, we used publicly available shellcodes as well as shellcodes we had to write on our own, in order to exploit the provided binaries. In this writeup we proceed with the next lab, which focuses on the subject of Format Strings.
As usual there are three levels ranging from C to A:
–> lab4C
–> lab4B
–> lab4A
Continue reading “RPISEC/MBE: writeup lab04 (Format Strings)”
RPISEC/MBE: writeup lab03 (Shellcoding)
The last writeup for RPISEC/MBE lab02 dealt with the subject of Memory Corruption. We used different buffer-overflow vulnerabilities to execute a predefined function shell, which kindly spawned a shell for us. In real life there usually isn’t such a function, we can simply call. Thus we have to inject our own code. Accordingly the next lab described in this writeup brings up the topic of Shellcoding.
Yet again there are three levels ranging from C to A:
–> lab3C
–> lab3B
–> lab3A
