This year’s HACKvent was hosted on the brand new Hacking-Lab 2.0 plattform. Each day from the 1st of december until the 24th a new challenge is published raising in difficulty. The flag format changed from HV18-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx to HV19{...}. After all I managed to solve all 28 challenges 🙂 |

As every year hacking-lab.com carried out the annual Hacky Easter event with 27 challenges. As usual the variety of the challenges was awesome. I actually got full score this year 🙂 Many thanks to daubsi, who gave me a nudge once in a while on the last challenges (you can find his writeup here). |
For the sixth time in a row now hacking-lab.com carried out the annual HACKvent. Each day from the 1st of december until the 24th a new challenge is published. I would have loved to spend more time on it, but time is a rare resource especially on the days before christmas 😉 After all I managed to solve 21 of 24 tasks:

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. |
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.
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
Continue reading “RPISEC/MBE: writeup lab08 (Misc and Stack Cookies)”
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)”
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.
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
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)”
