- Link to the Tech Inc Challenge Website Scoreboard
Binary Exploitation
- Brainsmoke is talking about binary exploitation today
- objdump -d: see the disassembly, sometimes you can see symbols
- This example has mangled C++ symbols
- From running it, the program appears to be a daemon of some kind - a Socks proxy
- This is a proxy for TCP - we can look at the protocol details w/ Google
- netstat -
- What was added between Socks4 and Socks5? (there might be a bug)
- Authentication and connecting directly to a domain
- Most of the fields are fixed length
- But the domain name is a string - it could have a buffer overflow
- There's a 1 byte name length - if you use a 1 byte length, you might end up w/ a negative number
- If you try to read a negative number, you will try to read a lot of bytes
- We want to find out what happens when you tell the program to read and send 255 bytes
- We want to establish a connection
