Mona 1.0 released !

FINALLY ! After spending almost 6 months of designing, developing and testing, and after 'surviving' 2 presentations (at AthCon and Hack In Paris), I am extremely excited and proud to present, on behalf of the entire Corelan Team, the general availability of mona.py. With this announcement, we also declare pvefindaddr officially dead from this point forward. (This doesn't mean pvefindaddr is now entirely worthless, because not all functions have been ported into mona yet, but we won't be releasing any updates to pvefindaddr anymore and the entire project page/download page will eventually disappear) Read more

Anti-debugging tricks revealed – Defcon CTF Qualifications 2009: Bin300 Analysis

A while ago I stumbled upon an awesome write-up of a very nice CTF challenge created by sapheads: http://hackerschool.org/DefconCTF/17/B300.html I love cartoons, and I love reversing, so I decided to play a little bit with that binary (b300.exe) which was a lot of fun. Because some interesting anti-debugging tricks were implemented into the binary... Read more

In Memory Fuzzing

Introduction

In memory fuzzing is a technique that allows the analyst to bypass parsers; network-related limitations such as max connections, buit-in IDS or flooding protection; encrypted or unknown (poorly documented) protocol in order to fuzz the actual underlying assembly Read more

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)... Read more

Starting to write Immunity Debugger PyCommands : my cheatsheet

When I started Win32 exploit development many years ago, my preferred debugger at the time was WinDbg (and some Olly). While Windbg is a great and fast debugger, I quickly figured out that some additional/external tools were required to Read more

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 Read more

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 Read more

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 Read more

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 Read more

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 Read more
