Zeratool

Automatic Exploit Generation (AEG) and remote flag capture for exploitable CTF problems

This tool uses angr to concolically analyze binaries by hooking printf and looking for unconstrained paths. These program states are then weaponized for remote code execution through pwntools and a series of script tricks. Finally the payload is tested locally then submitted to a remote CTF server to recover the flag.

Installing

Zeratool has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. Please install radare2 first

pip install zeratool

Usage

Zeratool is a python script which accept a binary as an argument and optionally a linked libc library, and a CTF Server connection information

[chris:~/Zeratool] [angr] zerapwn.py -h
usage: zerapwn.py [-h] [-l LIBC] [-u URL] [-p PORT] [-v] file

positional arguments:
  file                  File to analyze

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l LIBC, --libc LIBC  libc to use
  -u URL, --url URL     Remote URL to pwn
  -p PORT, --port PORT  Remote port to pwn
  -v, --verbose         Verbose mode

Exploit Types

Zeratool is designed around weaponizing buffer overflows and format string vulnerabilities and currently supports a couple types:

Buffer Overflow
- Point program counter to win function
- Point program counter to shellcode
- Point program counter to rop chain
  - Rop chains need a libc base address
  - one-gadget and ropper are used rop chain building
Format String
- Point GOT entry to win function
- Point GOT entry to shellcode

Zeratool has room to grow and future iterations of Zeratool will include information disclosure discovery and linking those leaks to an offset for general ASLR bypasses.

FAQ

Q. Why doesn't Zeratool work against my simple exploitable?

A. Zeratool is held together by scotch tape and dreams.
