Just connecting to the service, a 64bit cpu registers dump is received, and so does several binary code as you can see:
The registers represent an initial cpu state, and we have to reply with the registers result of the binary code execution. This must be automated becouse of the 10 seconds server socket timeout.
The exploit is quite simple, we have to set the cpu registers to this values, execute the code and get resulting registers.
In python we created two structures for the initial state and the ending state.
The 64bit compilation of the movs and the binary code, but changing the last ret instruction by a sigtrap "int 3"
We just parse the registers and send the to the server in the same format, and got the key.
The code:
