Bropper – An Automatic Blind ROP Exploitation Tool
An automatic Blind ROP exploitation python tool
Abstract
BROP (Blind ROP) was a technique found by Andrew Bittau from Stanford in 2014.
Most servers like nginx, Apache, MySQL, forks then communicates with the client. This means canary and addresses stay the same even if there is ASLR and PIE. So we can use some educated brute force to leak information and subsequently craft a working exploit.
Flow of exploitation
- Find buffer overflow offset
- Find canary
- Find saved registers (RBP / RIP)
- Find stop gadgets
- Find brop gadgets
- Find a Write function (write / dprintf / puts / ...)
- Leak the binary
Examples of Results
There is 3 customs vulnerable examples provided in this repository. You can run it directly or build the Dockerfile
BROPPER will then dump the binary :
It's then possible to extract all ROP gadgets from the dumped binary using ROPgadget for example :
$ ROPgadget --binary dump
