feedme
is an excellent challenge from the 2016 DEFCON Quals.
You are given the binary.
The goal is to write a repeatable exploit script to steal the flag
(located at /challenge/flag
) remotely.
To run the challenge locally on your machine:
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:31337:31337 -it adamdoupe/feedme
This will download the docker image and run it
using docker. The challenge is running under xinetd on
port 31337 in the container. The -p
option maps the localhost's port
31337 to the docker container's port 31337. The 127.0.0.1 part is
optional (this restricts the port on your actual machine to only
listen for connections from localhost), however you are running
intentionally vulnerable software on your machine, so it's not a good
idea for it to be accessible to other machines.
You should then be able to access feedme like so:
nc localhost 31337
To jump in and debug the program, you can use the following command to get a bash shell
docker run --security-opt seccomp:unconfined -it adamdoupe/feedme bash
