ZKar is a Java serialization protocol analysis tool implement in Go.

ZKar

ZKar is a Java serialization protocol analysis tool implement in Go. This tool is still work in progress, so no complete API document and contribution guide.

ZKar provides:

• A Java serialization payloads parser and viewer in pure Go, no CGO or JDK is required
• From the Java serialization protocol to a Go struct
• A Go library that can manipulate the Java serialization data
• WIP: ysoserial implement in Go
• WIP: Java class bytecodes parser, viewer and manipulation
• WIP: An implementation of RMI/LDAP in Go

📦 Installing

Using ZKar is easy. use go get to install the ZKar along with the library and its dependencies:

go get -u github.com/phith0n/zkar

Next, use github.com/phith0n/zkar/* in your application:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/phith0n/zkar/serz"
	"io/ioutil"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	data, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("./testcases/ysoserial/CommonsCollections6.ser")
	serialization, err := serz.FromBytes(data)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("parse error")
	}

	fmt.Println(serialization.ToString())
}

💻 Command line utility tool

ZKar also provides a command line utility tool that you can use it directly:

$ go run main.go
NAME:
   zkar - A Java serz tool

USAGE:
   main [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]

COMMANDS:
   generate  generate Java serz attack payloads
   dump      parse the Java serz streams and dump the struct
   help, h   Shows a list of commands or help for one command

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   --help, -h  show help (default: false)

For example, you are able to dump the payload CommonsBeanutils3 from ysoserial like:

$ go run main.go dump -f "$(pwd)/testcases/ysoserial/CommonsBeanutils3.ser"

🛠 Tests

ZKar is a well-tested tool that passed all ysoserial generated gadgets parsing and rebuilding tests. It means that gadget generating by ysoserial can be parsed by ZKar, and parsed struts can be converted back into bytes string which is equal to the original one.

Notice: For parsing JDK8u20 payload, you should add --jdk8u20 flag to dump command. As the payload is not a valid serialized data stream, it's necessary to tell ZKar patches the data through this flag.

📝 TODO

• Java bytecodes parser and generator
• JDK/JRE 8u20 Gadget supporting
• Serialization payloads generator
• An implementation of RMI/LDAP in Go
