PicoCTF2018 Cryptography RSA-Madlibs


Objective:
We ran into some weird puzzles we think may mean something, can you help me solve one? Connect with nc 2018shell.picoctf.com 50652

Solution:


Hello, Welcome to RSA Madlibs
Keeping young children entertained, since, well, nev3r
Tell us how to fill in the blanks, or if it's even possible to do so
Everything, input and output, is decimal, not hex
#### NEW MADLIB ####
q : 93187
p : 94603
##### WE'RE GONNA NEED THE FOLLOWING ####
n
IS THIS POSSIBLE and FEASIBLE? (Y/N):y

This is possible because n = pq
so we just simply multiply the numbers to get q

#### TIME TO FILL IN THE MADLIB! ###
n: 8815769761
YAHHH! That one was a great madlib!!!


#### NEW MADLIB ####
p : 81203
n : 6315400919
##### WE'RE GONNA NEED THE FOLLOWING ####
q
IS THIS POSSIBLE and FEASIBLE? (Y/N):y

This is also possible since n=pq  transitively we know that q=n/p

#### TIME TO FILL IN THE MADLIB! ###
q: 77773
YAHHH! That one was a great madlib!!!

##### WE'RE GONNA NEED THE FOLLOWING ####
q
p
IS THIS POSSIBLE and FEASIBLE? (Y/N):n
YAHHH! That one was a great madlib!!!


This is not possible be cause we would have no information about the two numbers that were multiplied to make n




#### NEW MADLIB ####
q : 78203
p : 79999
##### WE'RE GONNA NEED THE FOLLOWING ####
totient(n)

so n = pq:   n=78203*79999 n = 6256161797
Thanks to this website for the totient
http://www.javascripter.net/math/calculators/eulertotientfunction.htm

totient of 6256161797 is 6256003596

so now we have d and n we can solve for the plain text. I used Python again

YAHHH! That one was a great madlib!!!


If you convert the last plaintext to a hex number, then ascii, you'll find what you're searching for ;)

just manipulated the last python to covert to hex then ascii

RingZero CTF - Forensics - Who am I part 2

RingZero CTF - Forensics -  Who am I part 2 Objective: I'm the proud owner of this website. Can you verify that? Solution: Well it took me a bit to figure this one out. I tried looking at the whois records for ringzer0ctf.com I tired looking at the DNS records for the site. I even looked in the Certificate for the site. Then I thought a little be more about the question. It's not asking how I can verify who own the site. It wants me to verify the owner themselves. Luckily at the bottom the page we see who is listed as on the twittter feeds @ringzer0CTF and @ MrUnik0d3r lets check if we can find the PGP for MrUniK0d3r online. I googled PGP and MrUn1k0d3r The very first result is his PGP  keybase.txt with his PGP at the bottom of the file is the flag FLAG-7A7i0V2438xL95z2X2Z321p30D8T433Z

Abusing systemctl SUID for reverse shell

Today I came across a box that had the SUID set for systemctl connected as the apache user www-data I was able to get a root reverse shell. This is to document how to use this for privilege escalation. I used a bit from this blog https://carvesystems.com/news/contest-exploiting-misconfigured-sudo/ and a bit from here too https://hosakacorp.net/p/systemd-user.html Step1. Create a fake service I named my LegitService.service I placed it in the /tmp directory on the server.
