| | I've recently finished reading a book called Practical Binary Analysis which I consider a state of the art book (review will come soon) and I would like to post my solution to the crackme found in chapter 5. 1. A New CTF ChallengeComplete the new CTF challenge unlocked by the oracle program!You can complete the entire challenge using only the tools discussedin this chapter and what you learned in Chapter 2. After completingthe challenge, don't forget to give the flag you found to the oracle tounlock the next challenge

| | Hello, In this article I'll present you my solution on the Chapter 5 CTF from the book Practical Binary Analysis. For this binary, the hint is to fix four broken things. Running file gives us the following response: 1 2 binary@binary-VirtualBox:~/ctf$ file ./lvl3 ./lvl3: ERROR: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, Motorola Coldfire, version 1 (Novell Modesto) error reading (Invalid argument) And the readelf command gives us: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 binary@binary-VirtualBox:~/ctf$ readelf -h ./lvl3 ELF Header: Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 0b 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Class: ELF64 Data: 2's complement, little endian Version: 1 (current) OS/ABI: Novell - Modesto ABI Version: 0 Type: EXEC (Executable file) Machine: Motorola Coldfire Version: 0x1 Entry point address: 0x4005d0 Start of program headers: 4022250974 (bytes into file) Start of section headers: 4480 (bytes into file) Flags: 0x0 Size of this header: 64 (bytes) Size of program headers: 56 (bytes) Number of program headers: 9 Size of section headers: 64 (bytes) Number of section headers: 29 Section header string table index: 28 readelf: Error: Reading 0x1f8 bytes extends past end of file for program headers At this moment, it was clear that the ELF header is broken, in order to fix it I opened up Wikipedia and the elf specification.

| A buffer overflow attack is a type of cyber attack in which an attacker attempts to write more data to a buffer (a temporary data storage area) in a computer's memory than the buffer is designed to hold. This can cause the buffer to overflow, or exceed its maximum capacity, which can corrupt other parts of the computer's memory and allow the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the system.
