Can you pass the guard who watches over the Doors of Durin?

Challenge Files: door.c gatekeeper.py
```

## Analysis

Let's start by looking at `gatekeeper.py`:

```python
#!/usr/bin/python3

import string
import hashlib
import base64
import socket
import time

goodHashes = {}

print("Welcome to the \"Doors of Durin\"")
print("I'm the gatekeeper of this ancient place")
print("A long time ago those doors weren't in need of a gatekeeper. But in recent time, especially after the big success of J.R.R. Tolkien, everyone knows the secret words. The passphrase to open the door to the precious flag!")
print("The flag had a lot of visitors and wants to be kept alone. So its my job to keep anyout out")
print("Only real skilled hackers are allowed here. Once you have proven yourself worthy, the flag is yours")

def generateSecretHash(byteInput):
md5 = hashlib.md5()
sha1 = hashlib.sha1()
sha256 = hashlib.sha384()

blake2b = hashlib.blake2b()

md5.update(byteInput)
sha1.update(md5.digest())
md5.update(sha1.digest())

for i in range(0, 2938):
sha256.update(md5.digest())

for k in range(-8222, 1827, 2):
sha1.update(sha256.digest())
sha256.update(sha1.digest())

for j in range(20, 384):
blake2b.update(sha256.digest())

return blake2b.hexdigest()

def passToGate(byteInput):
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.connect(("doorsofdurin_door", 1024))
s.settimeout(1)
s.sendall(byteInput + b"\n")
time.sleep(1)
data = s.recv(1024)
return data

while True:
try:
currentInput = input("Give me your input:")

bytesInput = base64.b64decode(currentInput)
print("Doing magic, stand by")
hashed = generateSecretHash(bytesInput)

if hashed in goodHashes:
print(passToGate(bytesInput))
else:
if b"sp3akfr1end4nd3nt3r" in bytesInput:
print("Everybody knows the magic words. I can't hear it anymore! Go away! *smash*")
exit(0)
else:
goodHashes[hashed] = bytesInput
print(passToGate(bytesInput))

except Exception as e:
print(e)
```

It accepts base64 input, decodes it, and it will pass the decoded input through a socket to `door.c`. But notice that if you pass the magic word directly, it throws an error:

```python
if hashed in goodHashes:
print(passToGate(bytesInput))
else:
if b"sp3akfr1end4nd3nt3r" in bytesInput:
print("Everybody knows the magic words. I can't hear it anymore! Go away! *smash*")
exit(0)
else:
goodHashes[hashed] = bytesInput
print(passToGate(bytesInput))
```

```
kali@kali:~/Downloads/allesctf/doors$ echo sp3akfr1end4nd3nt3r | base64 | python3 gatekeeper.py Welcome to the "Doors of Durin"
I'm the gatekeeper of this ancient place
A long time ago those doors weren't in need of a gatekeeper. But in recent time, especially after the big success of J.R.R. Tolkien, everyone knows the secret words. The passphrase to open the door to the precious flag!
The flag had a lot of visitors and wants to be kept alone. So its my job to keep anyout out
Only real skilled hackers are allowed here. Once you have proven yourself worthy, the flag is yours
Give me your input:Doing magic, stand by
Everybody knows the magic words. I can't hear it anymore! Go away! *smash*
```

`generateSecretHash` starts with an MD5 hash of our input, and then piles on a bunch of other hashes on top of that:

```python
md5 = hashlib.md5()
sha1 = hashlib.sha1()
sha256 = hashlib.sha384()

blake2b = hashlib.blake2b()

md5.update(byteInput)
sha1.update(md5.digest())
md5.update(sha1.digest())
...
```

This is important, because MD5 is weak and this looks like a hash collision thing.

Now look at `door.c`:

```c
#include<stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define MAGIC_WORD "sp3akfr1end4nd3nt3r"
int main() {
char input[255];
char flag[255];

scanf("%254s", input);
printf("You said: %s\n", input);

if (strcmp(input, MAGIC_WORD) == 0)
{
int fd = open("./flag", O_RDONLY);
if (fd == -1)
{
printf("Something went wrong! Thats a bug, please report!\n");
return 1;
}

read(fd, flag, 254);
printf("Flag: %s\n", flag);
}
else
{
printf("Nope :/\n");
}

return 0;
}
```

Once we get past the gatekeeper, the door will give us the flag if the `strcmp` matches `sp3akfr1end4nd3nt3r`.

In order to get past the gatekeeper, our first input needs to be something that does _not_ contain `sp3akfr1end4nd3nt3r` but still has the same md5 hash as a second input which _does_ contain `sp3akfr1end4nd3nt3r` and will pass the `strcmp` check in `door.c`. The first input will cause `gatekeeper.py` to add the hash to `goodHashes`, allowing our second input with the matching hash to be passed on to the door.

We need a chosen-prefix collision, which is much more expensive than an identical-prefix collision:

<https://github.com/corkami/collisions#chosen-prefix-collisions>

And after digging around and playing with a few tools, hashclash seemed to have everything we need:

<https://github.com/cr-marcstevens/hashclash>

You can compile this with CUDA enabled and it would be _way_ faster to run on a GPU, but unfortunately I didn't have quick access to an Nvidia GPU for this exercise. Need to get my AWS account setup with a GPU quota for next time.

So I ran this on my kali VM using 8 vcpu's of my Ryzen 2700X and it finished after ~5 hours:

```
kali@kali:~/Downloads/hashclash/doors$ ../scripts/cpc.sh input.txt input2.txt

```

Only one problem: *I forgot the freakin' null char!*

```
kali@kali:~/Downloads/hashclash/doors$ cat input.txt.coll | ./door
You said: sp3akfr1end4nd3nt3r=b�u�M뀓�1��0E�q�
Nope :/
```

Let's clean up and try that again:

```
kali@kali:~/Downloads/hashclash/doors$ rm *.coll *.bin step*.log
kali@kali:~/Downloads/hashclash/doors$ rm -r workdir* upper_1_640000/ logs/ data/
kali@kali:~/Downloads/hashclash/doors$ perl -e 'print "sp3akfr1end4nd3nt3r\0"' > input.txt
kali@kali:~/Downloads/hashclash/doors$ perl -e 'print "\0"' > input2.txt
kali@kali:~/Downloads/hashclash/doors$ ../scripts/cpc.sh input.txt input2.txt
...
```

And at this point I'm worried if this will finish before the CTF is over, so I quickly spun up a 32x64 instance on digitalocean and ran the same thing there:

```
root@ubuntu-c-32-64gib-sfo2-01:~/hashclash/doors# perl -e 'print "sp3akfr1end4nd3nt3r\0"' > file1.txt
root@ubuntu-c-32-64gib-sfo2-01:~/hashclash/doors# perl -e 'print "\0"' > file2.txt

00000001
root@ubuntu-c-32-64gib-sfo2-01:~/hashclash/doors# ../scripts/cpc.sh file1.txt file2.txt
...
```

The 32 vcpu run finished first, in about 3 hours.

```
Found collision!
[*] Step 10 completed
[*] Number of backtracks until now: 3
[*] Collision generated: file1.txt.coll file2.txt.coll

[*] Process completed in 214 minutes (3 backtracks).
```

So this was the input I used in my solution:

```

```

For comparison, the 8 vcpu run on my Ryzen 2700X finally finished after about 8 hours. It probably would have taken a matter of minutes on a good GPU.

## Solution

We have a pair of files now with different prefixes but the same MD5 hash, and we know how to use that to get past the gatekeeper. Pass in file2, then file1:

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from pwn import *

# base64 encoded file1.txt.coll
file1="c3AzYWtmcjFlbmQ0bmQzbnQzcgA9YoQRAXXTTeuAk94xwdkwRfu+HnHwCmN1qDCqmBfK4wAAAAAL5sFBbqmL2SuFVqJ+/Wv3Icp+sViaoSk5sDHeoJ7pdwFQKAyoxlRj17aDLUQdmRpuOPIXGZPEDE9Pt7UBVdD5qQOm/OMxCJH6SXdU5wUGU6LwWNe3+BuV07DNa9X3rlB60gWRlFnQqSzEvvfLpWUSiL7QXoLn1CBP6LwHNdW2gWRSdG5802D7S00Gzig+MwyLLJLJCc7rPYgEISekGjsk00M5SGFho05Sf9ufwBiCIT0r8Re1mgHCRbnhmmmueTWWSLyX6+TpQxUd+b29mKPc62RoloV5EDagO+iSfuvtML3pPKUyWNIk2e79sn7D8xU6aOwXo57qUjFF0GkkR3kFg8WEdP9lWUrnK02nwn9ygpbfNJUvEXoZ/iaHmyaZMz42h70mg1UQbTBBNR+6sgfsNplzzHrkOHwna5ybyAPHlIsB2P/XcgzR50EUFlLXi8QZkHvkZY4/yTuM6SujWmdl4PukRWoLKzNAvdQ5EzDrARXd1UrdR5/AVUPebRYA3aLXB4oRDf12ugwayKapfgzjDz0gjheqdOk306c1C1W4vdW0RgLm7L87SifAR2gzbMV2jex6NvjFACrgRF2OrSQTUhkTP1SMwEzP0gI5j5wingNDw0clCn0shaItsnqrwmMP+fUCGjU5F7W+y3LwQ6VLTBPS+sVehDGMD+sJPAZ9eAW2n7yS6Grw9/6D2GswDSgDe42BgPRXhv+Odsrnd7s3bvEPHfATAkl5aCgtFhBq3nmOg0kq32bDW0F0NwHEAx/FCfx0CGX73IwzhMH11v/Mk7+8GGD5NJNhcvrG12rSrSAoSD0pAGW7kOOeyVmpm8URLKMUPU78oExKARkH7O/oP1qobvlbkeOiz/Ldgp3gv4OC/7qwtPsnFsBzaUZj5arm5mNrB4/+kWaA1l6OWtu9LBQV3i3QICfgGkcYojjskBKuQfhKV499"
