level4@io:~$ cd /levels/ level4@io:/levels$ ./level04 Welcome level5 level4@io:/levels$ ./level04 d Welcome level5 level4@io:/levels$ ./level04 $(python -c "print 'A' * 1024") Welcome level5 |
so i will read the code

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
int main() { char username[1024]; FILE* f = popen("whoami","r"); fgets(username, sizeof(username), f); printf("Welcome %s", username); return 0; } |
popen to execute whoami
save the output in f
fgets to read the output
print f to print the output
very simple one
I don’t think it needs overflow 😀
I can trick the software to read /home/level5/.pass
as it uses command whoami
and this command located in my system
it finds it through the $PATH
so this is the point
i will create new file in /tmp/level04/whoami
same name of the command
content
cat /home/level5/.pass
so when it runs my whoami then read the password
so I have to set the /tmp/level04 in my path variable + it should be loaded before any other apps in bins
