secure router
My friend bought this router. I want to hack into it so bad.
The firmware for the router is online. There's gotta be bugs in it...
About the Challenge
We were given a website and also a squashfs filesystem
How to Solve?
There are 5 perl code in var/www/ directory
To obtain the flag, we need to acquire the credentials first and then log in. To retrieve the credentials, we can use MCU_recover_credentials.pl and MCU_serial_forgot_password.pl. Here is the content of MCU_recover_credentials.pl:
...
$timestamp = strftime("%j%m%H%M%Y", localtime);
open(FH,"username.txt") or &dienice("Can't open username.txt: $!");
$username = <FH>;
close(FH);
open(FH,"password.txt") or &dienice("Can't open password.txt: $!");
$password = <FH>;
close(FH);
print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n";
if ($FORM{id} ne $timestamp){
print "<html>";
print "<head>";
print "<title>Secure Router</title>";
print "</head>";
print "<body>";
print "<center><p>Sorry, your timestamp nonce has expired</p></center>";
print "</body>";
print "</html>";
exit 0;
}
print "<html>";
print "<head>";
print "<title>Secure Router</title>";
print "</head>";
print "<body>";
print "<p>Password recovered</p>";
print "<p>$username</p>";
print "<p>$password</p>";
print "</body>";
print "</html>";
We need to provide the correct nonce / timestamp to recover the credential. And to get the correct nonce, we can use MCU_serial_forgot_password.pl because the code leaked the nonce
Copy the nonce and paste it into the id parameter of the MCU_recover_credentials.plfile.
Use the credentials to log in to the website.
