BlackHat Europe 2011 / Day 01
After having breakfast, chatting with ping and hanging out with @kokanin, @xme and @wimremes, it was time to start attending the various talks.
So, as promised in yesterdays preview, what follows is the report of my first day at Black Hat Europe 2011.

Hack Notes : ROP retn+offset and impact on stack setup
Yesterday, sickn3ss (one of the frequent visitors of the #corelan channel on freenode IRC) posted a really interesting question. The question While testing ROP gadgets, as part of the process of building a DEP bypass exploit for WM Downloader, he wanted to know if there is a way to predict the required padding needed to […]
Case Study: SolarWinds Orion (video)
Special Thanks: To my wife for putting up with my crap. Also SolarWinds for keeping an open communication while fixing the issue. And of course… Corelan Team :P Audio: Many thanks to DJ Great Scott for supplying me with the music. Definitely check out some of his work! http://soundcloud.com/greatscott http://glitch.fm/ Music in Video: Defcon (Samples […]
Offensive Security Exploit Weekend
Introduction I’m excited and honored to be able to announce that Sud0, one of our Corelan Team members, has won the Offensive Security Exploit weekend, an exploiting exercise only available to Offensive Security certified alumni. The challenge was built around a vulnerability in Foxit Reader. Each participant was pointed to a Proof of Concept exploit, […]
Death of an ftp client / Birth of Metasploit modules
Over the past few weeks, Corelan Team has given its undivided attention to fuzzing ftp client applications.
Using a custom built ftp client fuzzer, now part of the Metasploit framework, the team has audited several ftp clients and applications that use an embedded client ftp component. One example of such an application is a tool that would synchronize / backup data from a computer to a remote ftp server.
The 3 main audit/attack vectors that were used during the “project” were
send back overly long responses to ftp commands / requests sent by the ftp client to the server
send back a file/directory listing that contains overly long file/folder names
try to download a file that has an overly long filename.

Exploit writing tutorial part 10 : Chaining DEP with ROP – the Rubik’s[TM] Cube
About 3 months after finishing my previous exploit writing related tutorial, I finally found some time and fresh energy to start writing a new article.
In the previous tutorials, I have explained the basics of stack based overflows and how they can lead to arbitrary code execution. I discussed direct RET overflows, SEH based exploits, Unicode and other character restrictions, the use of debugger plugins to speed up exploit development, how to bypass common memory protection mechanisms and how to write your own shellcode.
While the first tutorials were really written to learn the basics about exploit development, starting from scratch (targeting people without any knowledge about exploit development) you have most likely discovered that the more recent tutorials continue to build on those basics and require solid knowledge of asm, creative thinking, and some experience with exploit writing in general.
Today’s tutorial is no different. I will continue to build upon everything we have seen and learned in the previous tutorials. Today I will talk about ROP and how it can be used to bypass DEP (and ASLR)…

Ken Ward Zipper exploit write-up on abysssec.com
Hi all, I just wanted to drop a few lines to let you know that, earlier today, my exploit write-up article about this vulnerability was published on www.abysssec.com. You can find the article here : http://www.abysssec.com/blog/2010/03/ken-ward-zipper-stack-bof-0day-a-not-so-typical-seh-exploit/ Enjoy !
QuickZip exploit article part 2 released on OffSec Blog
Hi all. I just wanted to drop a quick note that I have released part 2 of the QuickZip 0day vulnerability exploit on the Offensive Security Blog just a few moments ago. You can find the article here. Have fun & cheers !
corelanc0d3r featured on Offensive Security Blog
A few moments ago I published a detailed write-up, explaining the steps I took to build a 0day exploit for a zip file handling bug in QuickZip, on the Offensive Security blog. You can read the article here : http://www.offensive-security.com/blog/vulndev/quickzip-stack-bof-0day-a-box-of-chocolates/
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 […]
