CTF AWD WAF FOR PWN

QQ: 418894113

The WAF is a traffic capture tool for AWD PWN, which is convenient to analyze and write anti attack exp, and is very conducive to the use of PWN Ctfer. The tool has been used in AWD competitions for many times. I hope you can give me a star. The WAF has four modes.

The CATCH mode simply capture the attacked interactive traffic, which can be viewed under the log path.
The I0GAN mode is a defense mode, which can prevent attackers from getting the shell, and can also view the attacker's interactive traffic. This mode is used cautiously, strictly abides by the rules of the ctf competition. If you violates the rules of the competition. The consequences are borne by yourslves.
The FORWARD mode simply forwards the attacker's traffic to hit others, and we can capture the traffic in the middle. Of course, if the attacker successfully gets the flag, We can also get the flag in the log file.
The FORWARD_MUTIL is based on FORWARD mode, it mainly loop get victims's host information from hosts.txt file then forward attacker's traffic to victims.

2021-05-13: Thancks b0ldfrev commit the IO blocking problem for FORWARD mode

CATCH / I0GAN modes waf principle

Execve the target elf file by creating a child process, and then the parent process uses ptrace to monitor the syscall of the child process. If the standard IO is used, the data is read and recorded in the log. If the syscall is dangerous, it is also recorded in the log

FORWARD / FORWARD_MULTI modes waf principle

Capture traffic from standard I / O and forward it to the target server. You can captrue traffic between the attacker and the victim, and you can also get victim's flag.

How to use?

0x00 Know your server

After ssh to your server, checking your server for monitored program.

 cat /etc/xinetd.d/pwn
 
 service pwn
{
    disable = no
    socket_type = stream
    protocol    = tcp
    wait        = no
    user        = pwn
    type        = UNLISTED
    port        = 80
    bind        = 0.0.0.0
    server      = /pwn
    server_args = none
    # safety options
    per_source  = 10 # the maximum instances of this service per source IP address
    rlimit_cpu  = 20 # the maximum number of CPU seconds that the service may use
    rlimit_as  = 256M # the Address Space resource limit for the service
    #access_times = 8:50-17:10
}

So monitored program is /pwn.

If the server program is chroot, you should notice something, like this

service pwn
{
    disable = no
    flags = REUSE
    socket_type = stream
    protocol    = tcp
    wait        = no
    user        = root
    type        = UNLISTED
    port        = 80
    
    bind        = 0.0.0.0
    server      = /usr/sbin/chroot   
    server_args = --userspec=1000:1000 /home/pwn ./pwn
    # safety options
    per_source  = 5 # the maximum instances of this service per source IP address
    rlimit_cpu  = 20 # the maximum number of CPU seconds that the service may use
    rlimit_as  = 100M # the Address Space resource limit for the service
    #access_times = 8:50-17:10
}

Like this situation, the monitored program is /home/pwn/pwn

Next, we should found a path that have read && write permissions to pwn user.

Use touch command to test then find this path.

In general, this condition will be satisfied in the /tmp directory. But if server program is chroot you should find this path in chroot args1 [/home/pwn].

If not found path, this waf just can be used in RUN_FORWARD mode.

replace this program.

You should replace /home/pwn/pwn to our waf program.

0x01 Configure waf

Some configuration information of all modes is in makefile

CATCH and I0GAN mode configure

In makefile

# configure
# log path
LOG_METHOD  := OPEN
LOG_PATH    := /tmp/.waf
ARCH        := 64

LOG_PATH is a log file path

ARCH Represents whether the program is 32-bit or 64 bit.

You shold set LOG_PATH to your path that have read && write permissions in pwn user.

FORWARD mode configure

# configure
# log path
LOG_METHOD  := OPEN
LOG_PATH    := /tmp/.waf
ARCH        := 64

# Just used in FORWARD mode
FORWARD_IP   := 127.0.0.1
FORWARD_PORT := 20000

LOG_PATH is a log file path

ARCH Represents whether the program is 32-bit or 64 bit.

FORWARD_IP is static victim's ip

FORWARD_PORT is static victim's port

You shold set LOG_PATH to your path that have read && write permissions in pwn user.

If you not have permissions to write anaything, You should close logger. Modify makefile

LOG_METHOD  := CLOSE

So this mode is not rely on other file. you can use this mode to avoid attacked from attacker.

FOWARD_MULTI mode configure

If you use RUN_FORWARD_MULTI mode, you must set hosts information in hosts.txt, like

hosts.txt

127.0.0.1:20000
127.0.0.1:8081

And set log path in makefile

# configure
# log path
LOG_PATH    := /tmp/.waf
ARCH        := 64

LOG_PATH is a log file path

ARCH Represents whether the program is 32-bit or 64 bit.

You shold set LOG_PATH to your path that have read && write permissions in pwn user.

0x02 Compile

Compile all

Notice

Compile Env glibc version must <= target glibc version
Or waf cannot execute

./i0gan: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by ./i0gan)

make # or make all

make catch
make i0gan
make forward
make forward_multi

You will get catch,i0gan,redir files

The catch is RUN_CATCH mode waf program

The i0gan is RUN_I0GAN mode waf program

The forward is RUN_FORWARD mode waf program

The forward_mutil is RUN_FORWARD_MULTI mode waf program

simple test

After compiling all successfully, you can run ./catch or ./i0gan directly to test Store the interactive log file in the directory /tmp/.waf/ , The name of file format is time + hex microseconds + .log

0x03 Add waf to server

The pwn service paths stored in different events may be different. Take /pwn/pwn as an example. If you don't know where it is, cat /etc/xinetd.d/pwn service can view its own service path. The LOG_PATH you should find by yourself that have read && write permissions in pwn user. Here take LOG_PATH is /tmp/.waf as an example.

CATCH or I0GAN mode

Upload the compiled catch or i0gan program file to the /tmp directory.

Copy the monitored service program to LOG_PATH directory.
Replace the service program with WAF program

mkdir /tmp/.waf          # Create LOG_PATH directory
chmod 777 /tmp/.waf      # Modify permissions
cp /pwn/pwn /tmp/.waf    # Move service binary program to /tmp/.i0gan dirctory
chown pwn:pwn /tmp/.waf/pwn # Chown as pwn
chmod 777 /tmp/.waf/pwn
mv /tmp/catch /pwn/pwn # Replace your service binary program to our waf
chmod 777 /pwn/pwn

Notice: You must use nc to test. If server is down, checking your listened pwn program's permission and log permission. If your program is orw type, open fd start with 6, not 3

If the attacker attacks, the corresponding attack log file will be generated in the directory /tmp/.i0gan/. Each attack will generate a file, which can be directly analyzed after being attacked

FOWARD mode

Upload the compiled forward program file to the /tmp directory.

If your server have not permissions to store log, you should Close log, just set LOG_METHOD := OPEN in makefile and recompile forward.

Replace the service program with WAF program

cp /tmp/forward /pwn/pwn # Replace your service binary program to our waf
chmod 777 /pwn/pwn

FOWARD_MULTI mode

Upload the compiled forward_multi and hosts.txt files to the /tmp directory.

Copy hosts.txt under LOG_PATH
Replace the service program with WAF program

mkdir /tmp/.waf          # Create LOG_PATH directory
chmod 777 /tmp/.waf      # Modify permissions
cp /tmp/hosts.txt /tmp/.waf # Upload hostes.txt under LOG_PATH
cp /tmp/forward_multi /pwn/pwn # Replace your service binary program to our waf
chmod 777 /pwn/pwn

Notice: You must use nc to test. Check your log permission

0x04 Test your server

Note that you need to test your service

nc your_server_ip your_server_port

The common problem is that the permissions are not enough, which appear in the log path without permissions.
