Blackhat Europe 2010 Barcelona – Day 01
As some of you might know, I am currently attending Blackhat Europe (hosted in Barcelona this year). So I wanted to take the opportunity to fill you in on the details of this first day of briefings, and provide you with a short overview of the presentations I have attended today. I am most certainly […]
Exploiting Ken Ward Zipper : Taking advantage of payload conversion
In the article I wrote on the abysssec.com website, I explained the steps and techniques needed to build a working exploit for Ken Ward’s zipper. One of the main difficulties I had to overcome when building the exploit, was the character set limitation. I basically could only use a subset of the ascii characters (only […]
Exploit writing tutorial part 9 : Introduction to Win32 shellcoding
Over the last couple of months, I have written a set of tutorials about building exploits that target the Windows stack. One of the primary goals of anyone writing an exploit is to modify the normal execution flow of the application and trigger the application to run arbitrary code… code that is injected by the […]
Exploit writing tutorial part 8 : Win32 Egg Hunting
Introduction Easter is still far away, so this is probably the right time to talk about ways to hunting for eggs (so you would be prepared when the easter bunny brings you another 0day vulnerability) In the first parts of this exploit writing tutorial series, we have talked about stack based overflows and how they […]
Exploit writing tutorial part 6 : Bypassing Stack Cookies, SafeSeh, SEHOP, HW DEP and ASLR
Introduction In all previous tutorials in this Exploit writing tutorial series, we have looked at building exploits that would work on Windows XP / 2003 server. The success of all of these exploits (whether they are based on direct ret overwrite or exception handler structure overwrites) are based on the fact that a reliable return […]
Exploit writing tutorial part 5 : How debugger modules & plugins can speed up basic exploit development
In the first parts of this exploit writing tutorial, I have mainly used Windbg as a tool to watch registers and stack contents while evaluating crashes and building exploits. Today, I will discuss some other debuggers and debugger plugins that will help you speed up this process. A typical exploit writing toolkit arsenal should at […]
Exploit writing tutorial part 4 : From Exploit to Metasploit – The basics
In the first parts of the exploit writing tutorial, I have discussed some common vulnerabilities that can lead to 2 types of exploits : stack based buffer overflows (with direct EIP overwrite), and stack based buffer overflows that take advantage of SEH chains. In my examples, I have used perl to demonstrate how to build […]
Exploit writing tutorial part 3b : SEH Based Exploits – just another example
In the previous tutorial post, I have explained the basics of SEH based exploits. I have mentioned that in the most simple case of an SEH based exploit, the payload is structured like this : [Junk][next SEH][SEH][Shellcode] I have indicated that SEH needs to be overwritten by a pointer to “pop pop ret” and that […]
Exploit writing tutorial part 3 : SEH Based Exploits
In the first 2 parts of the exploit writing tutorial series, I have discussed how a classic stack buffer overflow works and how you can build a reliable exploit by using various techniques to jump to the shellcode. The example we have used allowed us to directly overwrite EIP and we had a pretty large […]
Exploit writing tutorial part 2 : Stack Based Overflows – jumping to shellcode
Where do you want to jmp today ? In one of my previous posts (part 1 of writing stack based buffer overflow exploits), I have explained the basisc about discovering a vulnerability and using that information to build a working exploit. In the example I have used in that post, we have seen that ESP […]
