  • Towards a Toolchain for Exploiting Smart Contracts on the Ethereum Blockchain
    Towards a Toolchain for Exploiting Smart Contracts on the Ethereum Blockchain by Sebastian Kindler M.A., University of Bayreuth, 2011 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in the Computer Science Program Faculty of Computer Science Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Stefan Traub Second Assessor: Prof. Dr. Markus Schäffter External Assessor: Dr. Henning Kopp Ulm University of Applied Sciences March 22, 2019 Abstract The present work introduces the reader to the Ethereum blockchain. First, on a con- ceptual level, explaining general blockchain concepts, and viewing the Ethereum blockchain in particular from different perspectives. Second, on a practical level, the main components that make up the Ethereum blockchain are explained in detail. In preparation for the objective of the present work, which is the analysis of EVM bytecode from an attacker’s perspective, smart contracts are introduced. Both, on the level of EVM bytecode and Solidity source code. In addition, critical assem- bly instructions relevant to the exploitation of smart contracts are explained in detail. Equipped with a definition of what constitutes a vulnerable contract, further practical and theoretical aspects are discussed: The present work introduces re- quirements for a possible smart contract analysis toolchain. The requirements are viewed individually, and theoretical focus is put on automated bytecode analysis and symbolic execution as this is the underlying technique of automated smart contract analysis tools. The importance of semantics is highlighted with respect to designing automated tools for smart contract exploitation. At the end, a min- imal toolchain is presented, which allows beginners to efficiently analyze smart contracts and develop exploits.

  • 1 SEC Consult – Cyber Security Challenge Austria / CTF Tips & Tricks
    SEC Consult – Austria Cyber Security Challenge Tips & Tricks Responsible: R. Freingruber Version/Date: 1.0 / 26.04.2018 Confidentiality class: Public 1 SEC Consult – Cyber Security Challenge Austria / CTF Tips & Tricks This article is intended to give useful tips and tricks for participants of the Cyber Security Challenge Austria, however in general, it can be seen as a guideline to Capture-the-Flag (CTF) competitions. The first chapter is for beginners who don’t know where they can acquire the required skills to participate and how to get started. The later chapters give some hints for various categories in CTFs. Please note that the tips range from basic tips to more complex ones like “how to solve hard binaries” or “how to win attack-defense CTFs” (which is very likely not required for Cyber Security Challenge Austria). Please also note that the article has a strong focus on the binary / exploit category because that’s the authors main category. 1.1 How to get started? This chapter is for people who want to do more in the field of IT security, but who don’t know how to get started and where the required knowledge can be learned. The best source of information are books that summarize the most common attack techniques and protections against them. Since the entire topic of IT security is very extensive there is not a “one-size-fits- all” book which lists all attacks in-depth. Instead, there are standard books which cover specific topics. The following list is not exhaustive, but tries to list the best books (in the authors opinion) for the respective topics: • Web o The Web Application Hackers Handbook by Dafydd Stuttard ▪ The standard book on web attacks which covers lots of different topics.

  • Fill Your Boots: Enhanced Embedded Bootloader Exploits Via Fault Injection and Binary Analysis
    IACR Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems ISSN 2569-2925, Vol. 2021, No. 1, pp. 56–81. DOI:10.46586/tches.v2021.i1.56-81 Fill your Boots: Enhanced Embedded Bootloader Exploits via Fault Injection and Binary Analysis Jan Van den Herrewegen1, David Oswald1, Flavio D. Garcia1 and Qais Temeiza2 1 School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, UK, {jxv572,d.f.oswald,f.garcia}@cs.bham.ac.uk 2 Independent Researcher, [email protected] Abstract. The bootloader of an embedded microcontroller is responsible for guarding the device’s internal (flash) memory, enforcing read/write protection mechanisms. Fault injection techniques such as voltage or clock glitching have been proven successful in bypassing such protection for specific microcontrollers, but this often requires expensive equipment and/or exhaustive search of the fault parameters. When multiple glitches are required (e.g., when countermeasures are in place) this search becomes of exponential complexity and thus infeasible. Another challenge which makes embedded bootloaders notoriously hard to analyse is their lack of debugging capabilities. This paper proposes a grey-box approach that leverages binary analysis and advanced software exploitation techniques combined with voltage glitching to develop a powerful attack methodology against embedded bootloaders. We showcase our techniques with three real-world microcontrollers as case studies: 1) we combine static and on-chip dynamic analysis to enable a Return-Oriented Programming exploit on the bootloader of the NXP LPC microcontrollers; 2) we leverage on-chip dynamic analysis on the bootloader of the popular STM8 microcontrollers to constrain the glitch parameter search, achieving the first fully-documented multi-glitch attack on a real-world target; 3) we apply symbolic execution to precisely aim voltage glitches at target instructions based on the execution path in the bootloader of the Renesas 78K0 automotive microcontroller.

  • Flexible Software Protection
    Flexible Software Protection JENS VAN DEN BROECK, BART COPPENS, and BJORN DE SUTTER, Department of Electronics and Information Systems, Ghent University, Belgium To counter software reverse engineering or tampering, software obfuscation tools can be used. However, such tools to a large degree hard-code how the obfuscations are deployed. They hence lack resilience and stealth in the face of many attacks. To counter this problem, we propose the novel concept of flexible obfuscators, which implement protections in terms of data structures andAPIs already present in the application to be protected. The protections are hence tailored to the application in which they are deployed, making them less learnable and less distinguishable. In our research, we concretized the flexible protection concept for opaque predicates. We designed an interface to enable the reuse of existing data structures and APIs in injected opaque predicates, we analyzed their resilience and stealth, we implemented a proof-of-concept flexible obfuscator, and we evaluated it on a number of real-world use cases. This paper presents an in-depth motivation for our work, the design of the interface, an in-depth security analysis, and a feasibility report based on our experimental evaluation. The findings are that flexible opaque predicates indeed provide strong resilience and improved stealth, but also that their deployment is costly, and that they should hence be used sparsely to protect only the most security-sensitive code fragments that do not dominate performance. Flexible obfuscation therefor delivers an expensive but also more durable new weapon in the ever ongoing software protection arms race. CCS Concepts: • Security and privacy ! Software security engineering; Software reverse engineering.

  • A Survey of Reverse Engineering Tools for the 32-Bit Microsoft Windows Environment
    A Survey of Reverse Engineering Tools for the 32-Bit Microsoft Windows Environment RAYMOND J. CANZANESE, JR., MATTHEW OYER, SPIROS MANCORIDIS, and MOSHE KAM College of Engineering Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA Reverse engineering is defined by Chikosfky and Cross as the process of analyzing a subject system to identify the system's components and their relationships, and to create representations of the system in another form or at a higher level of abstraction. The process of reverse engineering is accomplished using specific tools that, for the 32-bit Microsoft Windows environment, are categorized as hex editors, disassemblers/debuggers, decompilers, or related technologies such as code obfuscators, unpackers, and PE editors. An evaluation of each tool is provided that identifies its domain of applicability and usability. Categories and Subject Descriptors: A.1 [General]: Introductory and Survey; D.2.5 [Software Engineering]: Testing and Debugging General Terms: Security, Documentation Additional Key Words and Phrases: Reverse Engineering, Disassemblers, Debuggers, Decompilers, Code Obfuscators, PE Editors Unpackers, Hex Editors 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Reverse Engineering Process Software engineers are sometimes asked to understand the behavior of a program given that program's binary executable file. If they have access to the appropriate reverse engineering tools, they might choose to adhere to the following process. First, a general disassembler/debugger is used to determine the basic functionality of the program. If disassembly and debugging shows that the binary code has been obfuscated, the next step would be to determine whether the obfuscator used is a common commercial obfuscator or a custom protection scheme. A PE editor would be used to make this determination.
