RustPwnTools

Early development, changing API

Learning Rust by writing a PwnTools Library

I like the Rust programming language with its contraints and restrictions. But I wanted to start a bigger Project, wo get to know more of the language and use it.

Because I play a lot of CTFs in my free time, I am pretty familiar to PwnTools. So I decided I could implement to most used features of pwntools I use the most in rust.

This way I could write my exploits in Rust and learn more of the language. My goal will never be to replace or copy pwntools, because the library is huge and I don't use all the features.

Instead I want to write a library, for how I would ease my CTF rapid exploit development. I will have a look at what features I use a lot and try to implement them step by step. I even have some ideas, on where I could improve for my own workflow.

My first primary for a first version, will be implementing tubes. At first release only the function remote / process / recvuntil / recvline / send / sendline / close. Because this is the part of pwntools I use the most.

Features

• Process execution
• Process recvuntil / recvline
• Process send / sendline
• Tubes create_process
• TCP Socket connect
• TCP Socket connection status
• TCP Socket recvuntil / recvline
• TCP Socket send / sendline
• Attach GDB with tmux
• Hexdump output
• Tubes recv_timeout
• Tubes interactive
• Cyclic pattern
• Linux coredump
• ELF Header
• PE Header
• x86/x64 Assembly/Dissassembly
• ARM Assembly/Dissassembly
• Binary Packing for little/big endia
• Checksec (NE Stack, W/X Protection, Stack Canary, PIE)
• Shellcodes DB
• ROP Gadgets
• HTTP Post/Get
