The function puts writes the provided string to the standard output, together with a trailing newline character. The function naming scheme differs from the scheme in Radare2: Note that gdb also has autocompletion upon pressing tab. To list all functions, use the info functions command. To open a file in GDB, simply provide the location of the file as the parameter in GDB: GDB comes preinstalled on this system and will be the disassembler during this case. Note that the is the place where it awaits the input before the execution continues. Upon executing the program, it awaits input from the user and then prints a. This wont be of any importance in this challenge, but it does illustrate how much information the file command provides. Using setuid, the program can elevate its privilege and execute commands as root. Additionally, this binary is allowed to set the user id. These symbols, such as function names, save time analysing a function to know its purpose. A stripped binary, which is the default during this course, does not contain debugging symbols.

This provides more insight, firstly it is a 32-bit ELF executable which is not stripped. stack0: setuid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, not stripped Using the file program in bash, more details can be file.

The binary can be found in the /opt/protostar/bin directory. Note that it is not required since the shared clipboard can be enabled or the user can type the commands manually instead of copying them. Connecting via SSH enables you to easily copy and paste data from and to the terminal, because the host’s clipboard can be used.

Ssh password remains user, since you now connect onto the virtual machine from the host, instead of connecting locally. Open a terminal (or PuTTY on Windows) and use SSH to connect to the machine, where equals the IP of the virtual machine: Using the command ip addr, the IP address of the machine can be found. Then, one can use the command bash to use the ‘born again shell’ instead of the default shell.

It is therefore required to use the provided Debian ISO.Īfter booting the ISO in a virtual machine using the provided live boot option, one can log in with the credentials user for both the username and the password.

Additionally, it is good to know that the provided source code can be compiled as-is, but that the provided solution will not work due to security measures in modern operating systems and compilers. This way, the goal of this chapter (assembly basics) is highlighted and this approach provides a better insight in the fundamental conccepts that are behind the exploit. At the end of this case, a copy of the source code is embedded to use as a comparison after the whole analysis has been completed. In this article, the analysis will be conducted without the source code. Using this open approach, the user can compare the source code (the binaries are written in C) and the assembly. The Protostar challenges provide the source code and the compiled binaries, after which the user has find and exploit the weakness in each binary to complete the challenges. The approach of this practical case differs from the original Protostar challenge, although the binary does not differ from the original challenge. Most ‘modern’ safety measures have been disabled on the provided system, such as Address Space Layout Randomisation (ASLR) and Non-Executable (NX) memory. Protostar is a bootable ISO image with a Linux distribution (Debian), together with a set of challenges and certain tooling (e.g. In this practical case, the stack0 challenge from Protostar will be analysed. The previous article explained the working of the stack and the way variables are stored on the stack. This article was updated on the 11th of May 2020, and on the 13th of September 2021.
