[Linux Kernel Exploitation 0x0] Debugging the Kernel with QEMU

Hi folks, in this post I'm going to walk through how to setup the linux kernel for debugging. I will also demonstrate that the setup works by setting a break-point to a test driver I wrote myself. All the code will be available from my gitlab, all the links to my gitlab will be re-posted at the end. The setup I describe here re-uses some parts of the syzkaller setup, and for good reason later on in the post series I will break into a tutorial for the syzkaller tool as well. So lets get on with it. Screenshot of a successful debug session with full debug symbols for the kernel! We can even see the call to start_kernel and a frame before that as well! The Process Okay so we want to study kernel exploitation but given that the kernel isn't something totally accessible in userspace, its not as convenient to debug as userpace stuff, we need a bit of a run up before we can actually poke and prod the kernel to figure out how to write our exploits. So there's a number of importa

The Science of Google Dorking

In this post I'm in proposing some new and improved Google dorks for hackers/pentesters and generally any one that likes finding web based targets based on the vulnerabilities they expose, the dorks I will discuss here include servers exhibiting: Local file inclusion / Remote File inclusion vulnerabilities SQL injection Error based injection

[Linux Kernel Exploitation 0x1] Smashing Stack Overflows in the Kernel

Previous Post in Series : [Linux Kernel Exploitation 0x0] Debugging the Kernel with QEMU https://blog.k3170makan.com/2020/11/linux-kernel-exploitation-0x0-debugging.html Hi folks this blog post is part of a series in which I'm running through some of the basics when it comes to kernel exploit development for Linux. I've started off the series with a walk through of how to setup your kernel for debugging and included a simple debug driver to target. The post here carries on from this point and explores some stack security paradigms in the kernel. We're gonna add some stuff to that driver to make it do a dangerous memcpy and then look at whether we can manipulate memory structures with our input. I initially intended to cover full exploit to a root shell with this post but that proved a bit more challenging than I anticipated so I'm splitting this up into two posts. This one will cover almost everything right up to actually controlling the instruction pointer in the ker
