Cracking Open Naively Protected Binaries

One of the simplest way to protect an executable is password protecting it . In this method you use a simple if-then-else construct to check if the entered password matches a predefined value.

puts("enter password");
scanf("%d",&pass);
if(pass==4568)

Event though this way may seem secure, since after compilation this password will be converted to one's and zeros inside the binary file, this is not the case.
A simple disassembly will reveal the true password.

To prove my point I have designed a shell script which cracks passwords from such types of password verifying constructs. This shell file will not work on all naive password check but will deal with some of these types.
Anyone who understands a little bit of assembly along with a little bit a reverse engineering can easily crack variations of this type of password check, even if this script fails.

MIL Lab Hack Exposed

 The Hack


Mil-Lab-Hack-ExposedThis hack mostly exploits the fact that assembly illiterates cannot actually differentiate the difference between a binary generated by C programing and assembly language.

The basic prerequisites for this hack are good knowledge of C language and good knowledge of Assembly language. When your assembly code doesn't work you recode the same thing in C language and then replace the assembly generated binary with the binary generated by C code. Once this process is completed , all traces of C programing are erased.

Below is the hack in action....

Exception Handling in C++

Create a C++ class named Television that has data members to hold the model number and the screen size in inches, and the price. Member functions include overloaded insertion and extraction operators. If more than four digits are entered for the model, if the screen size is smaller than 12 or greater than 70 inches, or if the price is negative or over $5000 then throw an integer. Write a main() function that instantiates a television object, allows user to enter data and displays the data members .If an exception is caught, replace all the data member values with zero values.
