Last week, CryptoHackers got together to play CryptoCTF for the second time as a team. We solved 26/29 of the challenges during the 24 hour window and came third overall. First and second places went to Super Guessers (Rkm and Rbtree are very friendly faces from CryptoHack) and a Vietnamese team working together to support the spirit of Ho Chi Minh city and nearby provinces. Congratulations to them both.

CTF Scoreboard

Not only was it a lot of fun for us all to play together, but it was amazing to see how many CryptoHack friends played the CTF either solo or in small teams and who were able to get a top 15 spot. We’re honoured to have so many talented people in our Discord, chatting with us about maths and cryptography. We even have guest writeups from rkm0959 talking about the solutions of DoRSA and Polish.

Here are the write-ups for the easiest challenges in the CTF. You can find write ups for the medium and hard challenges as other posts on our blog.

Thank you to everyone who played for the CryptoHackers, and to ASIS CTF for organising this enjoyable event. Congratulations again to Super Guessers for being the ultimate crypto heros!

We will be publishing more writeups here as soon as they are finished. If you spot a mistake or an improvement that could be made, please ping jack or hyperreality on CryptoHack Discord.

# KEEP IT SECRET 
key = keygen(14) # I think 64**14 > 2**64 is not brute-forcible :P

enc = encrypt(flag, key)
print(f'enc = {enc}')

The key is the product of 14 random elements selected from $GF(64)$.

Solution

Note that the product of two elements of $GF(64)$ is still an element of $GF(64)$. Inductively, the key lies in $GF(64)$. That is, the key space is just 64 and hence we are able to brute-force the key.

def nextPrime(n):
    while True:
        n += (n % 2) + 1
        if isPrime(n):
            return n

f = [int(x) for x in bin(int(FLAG.hex(), 16))[2:]]

f.insert(0, 0)
for i in range(len(f)-1): f[i] += f[i+1]

a = nextPrime(len(f))
b = nextPrime(a)

g, h = [[_ for i in range(x) for _ in f] for x in [a, b]]

c = nextPrime(len(f) >> 2)

for _ in [g, h]:
    for __ in range(c): _.insert(0, 0)
    for i in range(len(_) -  c): _[i] += _[i+c]

g, h = [int(''.join([str(_) for _ in __]), 5) for __ in [g, h]]

for _ in [g, h]:
    if _ == g:
        fname = 'g'
    else:
        fname = 'h'
    of = open(f'{fname}.enc', 'wb')
    of.write(long_to_bytes(_))
    of.close()

The flag is encoded using a bunch of weird looking operations, and then we get the two files g.enc and h.enc

Solution

Firstly, we can deduce the flag length as 32 bytes by simply testing some letter repeated some number of times as the flag, then checking the length of the output and comparing it to the size of g.enc.

We will work through the steps in reverse order.

Step 1

g, h = [int(''.join([str(_) for _ in __]), 5) for __ in [g, h]]

for _ in [g, h]:
    if _ == g:
        fname = 'g'
    else:
        fname = 'h'
    of = open(f'{fname}.enc', 'wb')
    of.write(long_to_bytes(_))
    of.close()

Firstly, each file contains bytes, which we need to convert to a base 10 integer. Then, we need to convert this base 10 integer into a base 5 integer. We can do this quite easily with gmpy2’s digits function.

Step 2

c = nextPrime(len(f) >> 2)

for _ in [g, h]:
    for __ in range(c): _.insert(0, 0)
    for i in range(len(_) -  c): _[i] += _[i+c]

These next steps add some elements of the list to other elements of the list. We can work out the value of len(_) - c by just running the program with a random 32 byte flag, and then to reverse it, we just need to ensure that we change the addition to subtraction, and work in reverse order, as the later elements of the list are not affected by the earlier ones (but not vice versa).

We also then need to trim $c$ amound of 0’s from the start of the list at the end. $c$ can again be worked out by just running the program.

Step 3

a = nextPrime(len(f))
b = nextPrime(a)

g, h = [[_ for i in range(x) for _ in f] for x in [a, b]]

This step simply takes the list $f$ and duplicates it $a$ and $b$ times, storing them in $g$ and $h$. We can either manually find the repeating sequence, work out the values of $a$ and $b$ and simply split $g$ into $a$ chunks (or $h$ into $b$ chunks), or we can simply know the length of $f$, and take the first $len(f)$ elements of $g$ to get the original $f$.

Step 4

f = [int(x) for x in bin(int(FLAG.hex(), 16))[2:]]

f.insert(0, 0)
for i in range(len(f)-1): f[i] += f[i+1]

Our last step is again quite similar to step 2, we work out the length of $f$ by running the program, and then going in reverse order, changing the addition to a subtraction instead. We can then obtain the flag by converting the list into a string, which should be the binary string of the flag.

Implementation

Putting this all together, this looks like this:

from gmpy2 import digits

# Step 1
g = list(digits(bytes_to_long(open("g.enc","rb").read()) ,5))
g = [int(x) for x in g] 

# Step 2
for _ in [g]:
    for i in range(65791,-1,-1): _[i] -= _[i+c]

# Step 3
f = g[67:67+256]
f = [int(x) for x in f]

# Step 4
for i in range(len(f)-2, -1, -1):f[i] -= f[i+1]
print("".join([str(x) for x in f]))

Symbols

Challenge

Oh, my eyes, my eyes! People still can solve this kind of cryptography? Mathematicians should love this one! Symbols Challenge

Solution

In this challenge, we are given an image of math symbols, from the first couple of symbols and the flag format, we can guess that the flag is the initials of these symbols in $\LaTeX$.

By using Mathpix Snip, a tool that can convert images into LaTeX for inline equations, we can get most of the symbols and get the flag.

        W.append(v)
    random.shuffle(transpose(W))
    return W

enc = encrypt(FLAG)
print(enc)

Solution

This challenge gives a strange encryption scheme. This encryption algorithm actually does this. For an input of length $l$, the algorithm first multiplies each character of the input by the corresponding index to obtain a vector $x$. Then the algorithm loops $l$ times, each time outputs a vector $v$. Each number in the vector $v$ is a random number between 0 and 126 multiplied by the corresponding number in the vector $x$. All these operations are performed modulo 8443.

It is worth noting that random.shuffle on line 38 of the program actually has no effect on the output, because the transpose function returns a new object.

Solving for the input is intuitive. For the i-th byte of the input, we simply iterate through all printable characters, multiply $i$ by those characters, and multiply 0 through 126 to get all possible results. If column $i$ of the program output happens to be a subset of the possible results generated by a character $c$, then the i-th byte of the input is likely to be $c$.

We send a username and password to the server, along with an authentication hash. These are all passed as parameters to the auth_check function, and the username containsn3T4Dm1n, the password contains P4s5W0rd, and the function returns true, we get the flag.

Solution

The check_auth function uses two secrets, salt and pepper, which we know the length of, however we don’t know the value of.

The check_auth function calculates the authentication hash using the following line

sha1(pepper + password + md5(salt + username).hexdigest().encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()

Since these two secrets are hashed as well as our username and password, we cannot directly work out the authentication hash. However, we get given the MD5 hash of salt, and the SHA1 hash of pepper. Since both of the secret values are put as prefixes to our input, we can perform a hash length extension attack.

HashPump is a useful tool to do this, as all we need to do is provide the parameters and the tool does most of the work for us. One thing that needed to be changed however is that since we get the raw hashes, we don’t have any data to give to the tool, and Hashpump complains when we do that.

To get around this, I simply removed this check in the main.cpp file (line 255) and recompiled it.

First, we will create a MD5 of (salt + padding + n3T4Dm1n) using the tool:

hashpump -s "5f72c4360a2287bc269e0ccba6fc24ba" -d "" -a "n3T4Dm1n" -k 19

giving an output of

95623660d3d04c7680a52679e35f041c
\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x98\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00n3T4Dm1n

Then, we will create our authentication hash by creating a SHA1 of (pepper + padding + P4s5W0rd + 95623660d3d04c7680a52679e35f041c)

hashpump -s "3e0d000a4b0bd712999d730bc331f400221008e0" -d "" -a "P4s5W0rd95623660d3d04c7680a52679e35f041c" -k 19

giving an output of

83875efbe020ced3e2c5ecc908edc98481eba47f should now be our authentication hash when we use \x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x98\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00n3T4Dm1n as our username and \x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x98P4s5W0rd as our password (note that we remove the MD5 hash at the end as it gets added when the auth_check function is called).

Submitting these to the server gives us the flag.

assert((x**2 + 1)*(y**2 + 1) - 2*(x - y)*(x*y - 1) == 4*(int(k, 16) + x*y))

Given this source, the goal is to solve the equation to obtain both $x,y$.

Solution

Factoring $k$ we find that it is a perfect square

sage: factor(k)
2^2 * 3^2 * 11^4 * 19^2 * 47^2 * 71^2 * 3449^2 * 11953^2 * 5485619^2 * 2035395403834744453^2 * 17258104558019725087^2 * 1357459302115148222329561139218955500171643099^2

Which tells us that moving some terms around, we can write the left hand side as a perfect square too:

sage: f = (x**2 + 1)*(y**2 + 1) - 2*(x - y)*(x*y - 1) - 4*x*y
sage: f
x^2*y^2 - 2*x^2*y + 2*x*y^2 + x^2 - 4*x*y + y^2 + 2*x - 2*y + 1
sage: factor(f)
(y - 1)^2 * (x + 1)^2

So we can solve this challenge by looking at the divisors of $\sqrt{4k}$ as we have

\[(y - 1)^2 (x + 1)^2 = 4k = m\]

This is easy using Sage’s divisors(m) function:

factors = [2, 2, 3, 11, 11, 19, 47, 71, 3449, 11953, 5485619, 2035395403834744453, 17258104558019725087, 1357459302115148222329561139218955500171643099]

m = prod(factors) 
 
for d in divs:   
    x = long_to_bytes(d - 1)   
    if b'CCTF{' in x:  
        print(x)  
        y = (n // d) + 1 
        print(long_to_bytes(y))

Solution

Since we can see that the generation of $PP$ and $QQ$ is special:

while True:
    p, q = getPrime(nbit), getPrime(nbit)
    P = int(str(p) + str(q))
    Q = int(str(q) + str(p))
    PP = int(str(P) + str(Q))
    QQ = int(str(Q) + str(P))
    if isPrime(PP) and isPrime(QQ):
        break

If we let x, y = len(str(p)), len(str(q)), we will get:

\[P = 10^{x}p + q,\, Q = 10^{y}q + p\]

Also we let x', y' = len(str(P)), len(str(Q)), we will get:

\[PP = 10^{x'}P+Q,\, QQ=10^{y'}Q+P\]

After we put $P = 10^{x}p + q,\, Q = 10^{y}q + p$ into the above equation and calculate

\[N=PP \cdot QQ\]

we will find $N$ looks like in this form:

\[N = 10^{x+x'+y+y'}pq + \ldots +pq\]

Since $x+x’+y+y’$ is big enough, so we know that str(N)[:?] is actually str(pq)[:?] and as the same, str(N)[?:] is actually str(pq)[?:].

After generating my own testcase, I find that str(N)[:18] = str(pq)[:?], str(N)[-18:] = str(pq)[-18:] and actually len(str(p*q)) = 38 so we just need brute force 2 number between the high-part and low-part.

So we can get $pq$ and factor it to get $p$ and $q$. The next is simple decryption.
