Event Overview
Location: Università di Salerno & Remote
Date: 3rd of May, 2024 from 14:00 to 18:00 CET
Prepare to dive deep into the intricate world of application security through a series of meticulously designed challenges that will test your skills, adaptability, and critical thinking. CyberHack Salerno is not just an event; it's a battleground for the brightest minds to showcase their prowess in overcoming the most daunting cybersecurity obstacles.
What Awaits You
Network Traffic analysis, Reverse Engineer, and Memory Errors. Tackle vulnerabilities that plague modern applications. These challenges will range from easy to advanced levels, ensuring participants of all skill levels find engaging and stimulating problems to solve.
Challenge 1 - Network Traffic Analysis (1 level 1 hour)
- Objective:
This module is designed to gauge a candidate's skill in network packet analysis. The task involves identifying specific information within a network packet, such as the IP address linked to an attack's origin. - Process:
Participants receive a Linux container loaded with a network packet in .pcap format, alongside all necessary analysis tools. A question related to the packet is presented, requiring candidates to examine the packet to provide an answer.
Challenge 2 - Reverse Engineer x86 (3 levels 30 minutes each)
-
Objective:
This module evaluates a candidate's ability to reverse-engineer an x86 binary and decipher the functionality of a specific function. Candidates are required to use a given input to traverse the basic block graph of the function and compute the corresponding output. -
Process:
Participants receive a function contract, the function's input, and the basic block graph representing the assembly instructions of the reverse-engineered function. Candidates must traverse the graph using the provided input and determine the output to answer the question correctly.
Challenge 3 - Memory Errors (2 levels 40 minutes each)
-
Objective:
This evaluates a candidate's ability to analyze the source code of a binary and exploit existing vulnerabilities. Successful exploitation results in the retrieval and submission of a flag. -
Process:
A container is launched containing several exercises, each with a binary and its source code. The candidate must execute the binary with specific inputs to exploit vulnerabilities and secure the flag.
