CDDC 2022 in Thailand Outfield
Published: 2022-06-24 06:42:49

﻿CDDC, or Cyber Defenders Discovery Camp is a Capture the Flag Competition hosted by DSTA for Singaporeans. I usually participate in the JC/IP category since my education background is as such. 

Last year, I did CDDC 2021 in Ex Crescendo. I overcame the odds and did it in outfield, with a spotty data signal and no laptop 

This year, its time for CDDC 2022 Ex Crescendo. But this time, it's in Thailand. 

# Overall
## Thoughts

Our team, NYCP got 12th place. Not bad for 3 guys currently serving NS at the same time. 

<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1inUj_QOlWg61jBA6h-Rm_WdsS2N2c1954HmkXB63gfY/edit?usp=sharing> 

This CTF was fun and good. Got to use some of my OSCP knowledge, revise some Pwning, learn about 64bit format string bugs, improve my web skills and more. Only regret is that i could have tried harder for this to aim for top 10, but oh well.

## How we did the challenges

For me it's the same thing as last year. The main strategies I used are

- Kali Nethunter
- Tmate to SSH into home desktop

However, in Thailand, there are some things which are for better or for worse

- I managed to get unlimited data SIM card for 330 baht = 14SGD, which helped, as I don't have to spend time thinking about data consumption. The only limitation is that it has a cap on the data speed, but that is not important for CTFs, since they are not that data intensive
- Data signal is surprisingly good, even outfield
  - Generally 4G 2 bar or so, but very usable. 
  - This means that I can access the services anywhere, instead of waiting and trying to get signal during ration runs. 
- Didn't dare to bring a laptop, since its a military exercise, and I didn't want to risk it

Even though I'm in Thailand, it was actually easier in some ways than last year, as we were mainly preparing stuff in camp. Only in the last few hours did we move out to set up for outfield (That's when I entirely did the SPA Challenge). This is compared to last year, where I did the entire CTF outfield.

Now lets move on to the challenge writeups.

## Forensics - Unknown File

Steps are

- Unzip the file -> Get hexadecimal text file
- Use Cyberchef to convert hexadecimal text into binary data -> File format is .jpg -> Save as a file
- Use fotoforensics webpage to figure out that the photo has hidden pixels, uncover it to get the flag.

## Network - SNMP


On looking through the pcap, the string "public1" appears many times in many packets.You can guess the community string is that for use in SNMP scans.

Firstly, I tried reading the source code of the webpage. The comment <!-- twinkle\_star -> little\_star -> flag → would likely be useful. The Javascript source code suggests that the webpage retrieves data from the endpoint

I tried monitoring the webpage network requests using Firefox. The /star endpoint provides a HTML element to show an image. There is also a request cookie of "twinkle\_star".

## Pwn - Command Injection

![](Aspose.Words.760bf06b-079e-4f35-9d88-5148e41d6dcb.006.jpeg)

The title of the challenge suggests a command injection, injecting something in the text such that it is interpreted as running a command.

Firstly, I viewed the strings in the binary (Lazy to decompile lol)

- It revealed the potential key: Pa$$WoRD1@
- It revealed the command to inject in: echo %s

At first, I thought maybe we would  overwrite the password variable with `weakpass`. The password variable address is initially given before any format string input happens, so we could read that using pwntools, put it on the string along with a format string write, and overwrite the contents of the variable. The execution flow goes into the other branch of the if statement to show the flag

I tried to access the contents of the input from the format string. This shows that the 8th argument is the start of the contents of the string ('A' = 0x41)


```

One of the main issue with 64 but addresses is that there are leading null bytes. After some research, I found  <https://tripoloski1337.github.io/ctf/2020/06/11/format-string-bug.html>. I could put the address at the back of the payload string. Something like this

```
[Write][Padding][Address in Little Endian]\x00\x00… 
```

We tried putting in the password variable address in the payload and accessing it

- We calculate the argument to read from based on the length of the string
- We have to pad between the different sections of the payload (reading, address) such that things are aligned by a group of 8 bytes. This makes it easier to calculate the argument to read from in the format string. 

This here is a rough Proof of Concept

Afterwards, I tried making an exploit to overwrite a character of the password variable. I automatically calculated the padding needed to write, as well as for the alignment

On trying to scale this to 4 bytes, the ASCII value of "weak"  or any other 4 letter word becomes too large that it would be very difficult to write and test. 

Not to mention that %n can only write 4 bytes at once, and not 8, so 2 writes are needed. However, we can only put 1 address in the payload, as the terminating characters of the string need to be used. 

Maybe there's another way to do this. On looking at the code, maybe instead of changing code execution, we change the address from the password variable to the flag variable? 

We read in the password variable address, calculate the flag variable using the offsets from the diaassembly (201010 and 201040 respectively), put it in the payload and read it. 

```
 a9a:   48 8d 3d 6f 05 20 00    lea    rdi,[rip+0x20056f]        # 201010 <password>
 aa1:   e8 0a fd ff ff          call   7b0 <strncmp@plt>
 aa6:   85 c0                   test   eax,eax
 aa8:   75 1a                   jne    ac4 <main+0xee>
 aaa:   48 8d 35 8f 05 20 00    lea    rsi,[rip+0x20058f]        # 201040 <flag>
```

This ended up working well. 

```

I tried overflowing the buffer to the RIP

- I put weakpass\x00 to pass the password check (May as well) 
- Surprisingly the string doesn't terminate at the null byte, though that's the problem with read() 
- The disassembly (from objdump) gives you the address of the function printflag(). I put its full 64 bit address (including leading null bytes) at the end of the payload
- I fuzzed (tested) the padding between the password and the address manually, such that the address would overwrite the RIP (instruction pointer register) 
  - I used gdb to check the registers

I lost my writeup stuff, but basically

- login using password weakpass
- Read flag from file to variable using the 3rd option
- Read flag from variable using 4th option

The javascript code looks obfuscated, so i deobfuscated it using <https://deobfuscate.io/>. The interesting parts of the code is the setInterval (record and decode variables). If i trigger it ahead of time (by modifying the code directly), I could show the flag earlier then the 3 days needed to wait for it.

## Web - Test Page
## Test Site

This challenge mainly asks you to find the vulnerability in the nginx server.

Out on a whim, I ran nikto, a web vulnerability scanner, on the webpage. This got me some interesting results, most notably

- You can access /etc/passwd
- There is a /test directory, which lists the contents inside. However, the .bak files are unaccessible

Since you could access `/etc/passwd`, I was thinking if you could access files from the root directory (provided the nginx user can access it). I tried accessing the nginx configuration file at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf (Common location)

```

    location / {
      root /;
      try_files /usr/share/nginx/html/$uri $uri @go;
    }

    location @go {
      return 302 /index.html;
    }

    location /test {
      autoindex on;
      alias /usr/share/nginx/html/test/;

      location /test/static {
        alias /usr/share/nginx/html/test/static/;
      }

      location /test/files/ {
        location ~* .(bak)$ {
          return 403;
        }
      }
    }

    location /h1dd3n-3ndp01nt {
      rewrite /h1dd3n-3ndp01nt/(.*) /$1 break;
      proxy_pass http://internal-server:8888;
    }
  }
}

This nginx config file shows a few things

- The root of the web server is / of the file system. This confirms that you can read all files from root provided the nginx user has the proper permissions
- `/test` endpoint on the webserver is `/usr/share/nginx/html/test/` on the file system
  - The .bak files is only blocked through the `/test/files/` endpoint
- There is a `/h1dd3n-3ndp01nt` which directs request to an internal server 

To access the .bak files, instead of using the /test/ endpoint, we could traverse to the files from root.

The first .bak file looks like a backup nginx configuration file. The second looks like the code to the hidden endpoint, where we can access the flag by giving a PUT endpoint to the /admin endpoint

I then tried to access the endpoint.

## Web - SPA

This is a challenge asking you to login to the administrator account.

In web development terms, SPA stands for Single Page Application. This means that the entire webpage & code is loaded all at once. The code is generally bundled in a single file or a similar method using something like webpack. 

On loading the webapp, the icon for the webpage is React, suggesting that it uses React (A Javascript Framework mainly for Single Page Applications), and it is an SPA. The Web page then asks you to login. 

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/759t4uy63lfifgeglmay.jpg)

My first thought was to Google on how to get the source code from SPAs. This lead me to <https://github.com/rarecoil/unwebpack-sourcemap>, a tool to get the source code from SPAs bundled using webpack (like React Apps).

After that I read some files, most notably are the ones regarding the Login System. 

1. The Login.js has a comment `{/\* UnCr@ck@b|3-P@$$W()rd \*/}`
   1. Since they ask for you to login to the administrator account, you can guess that the username is administrator
1. The 2nd file, UserService.js, shows that there are 3 endpoints
   1. 1 to register user
   1. /users/login POST to get login token
   1. /users/me to get the name?

I tried logging in with `administrator:UnCr@ck@b|3-P@$$W()rd`, which worked. However, the homepage looked empty

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/r09hqjqrzx46tm91gz45.jpg)

I tried accessing the endpoints manually with curl, by logging in, and accessing `/user/me`, and discovered the flag
