tl;dr - Volatility + Corrupted file analysis
Full solution of Easy Husky challenge from ISITDTU Quals 2019.

tl;dr

Out of bounds write in trustlet ‘1’, allows us to write random bytes at an address of
our choice. We can write our shellcode to an rwx region with this, without any bruteforce.

Note: During the CTF we used a 1 byte brute-force to get write shellcode in the rwx segment and get shell. It was only afterwards that we realised that no bruteforce was required!

tl;dr

• You need to pass 999 levels to get the flag.
• Each of the levels involves multiple checks on input characters.
• Each check happens in seperate functions which are decrypted during runtime.
• Extract function order and arguments.
• Automate finding input for each check.

tl;dr

1. Find Elliptic Curve parameters from given points on the curve
2. Find x-coordinate of 2*P, given y-coordinate of 2*P
3. Invert 2 over mod (P.order()) and multiply the result with 2*P to get P
4. Submit ASIS{P.x} as the flag
