Introduction The service image-galoisry is a flask web server accompanied by a web GUI. On the website, users can create new image galleries, which are safeguarded by a password. Following gallery creation, users have the option to upload images, with each image undergoing encryption with AES. Notably, these galleries, while publicly accessible, only display encrypted files for download. However, should a user possess the password for a specific gallery, they have the option to instruct the...
Write an oldschool keygen for an oldschool login interface.
Google CTF 2022 presented us with oldschool, a typical, as the name suggests, oldschool crackme with an ncurses terminal interface. The goal of the challenge was to write a keygen, which would be able to generate keys for a list of users provided by the CTF organizers. The official and detailed writeup is available here, which goes through the intended solution of manually reverse engineering the key verification algorithm. However, since we are researchers (and most importantly, too lazy to manually...
TL;DR chess.rs is a pwn(/web) challenge using Rust with WebAssembly. The goal is to extract the cookies of the admin browser bot. We have a rust webserver providing two pages index.html (graphical frontend) and engine.html ("backend", runs the wasm logic). index.html loads engine.html as an iframe. They send messages through .postMessage and receive them through the window.onmessage event listener. There is a hidden parameter in the init function on engine.html that allows setting a custom board position...

Description They say programmers' dream is California. And because they need somewhere to stay, we've built a hotel! nc dctf1-chall-hotel-rop.westeurope.azurecontainer.io 7480 Preface We got a binary file with simple input and some output related to hotel checkIn. Overview Based on the name of the challenge, we can be certain, that some sort of rop is needed. Loading the binary into ghidra we can see our function vuln. void vuln(void) { char Read More
Description This should take about 1337 seconds to solve. nc dctf-chall-pwn-sanity-check.westeurope.azurecontainer.io 7480 Preface We get a simple binary, with simple input and output. Overview Looking at the binary in ghidra, I found these functions. void vuln(void) { char local_48 [60]; int local_c; puts("tell me a joke"); fgets(local_48,0x100Read More
Description Don't fall in (rabbit) holes Preface We get a binary which just prints Decryption finished. Overview Using ghidra, we can analyse the binary. Inside the main of the binary we can see, that their is some binary content and multiple functions called with strncpy in between. undefined8 main(int argc,char **argv) { char *key_text; char Read More
Description Read me to get the flag. nc dctf-chall-readme.westeurope.azurecontainer.io 7481 Preface We get a binary which asks for our name and then prints hello + input. But in order for the binary to run, a file flag.txt needs to be created in the working directoy. Overview Decompiling the binary in ghidra, we see a function vuln where the logic happens. The decompiled function with some renaming of the variables looks like this: void vuln(void) { Read More
Description This should be easy! nc dctf1-chall-pinch-me.westeurope.azurecontainer.io 7480 Preface We got a binary file which asked us Am I dreaming? and with basic input prints then Pinch me! Overview Loading the binary into ghidra we can see, that the interaction happens in the function vuln void vuln(void) { char local_28 [24]; int local_10; int local_cRead More
