How to Check File Size Upload Php Sql

Half-dozen files that are likewise a valid PHP

And a GIF that is also a Python

That history begins with me trying to make a GIF that is also a valid Haskell, all that for a CTF claiming. Although was a pain in the donkey to impale this challenge, the idea of having one file that has two format was really interesting and somewhat useful to bypass upload restrictions and execute the unexpected type of your file with some LFI.

GIF + PHP

I was reading the PoC||GTFO Journal and they beloved the idea of a polyglot file, i of their issues is a PDF/Goose egg and NES ROM , so I started with the simplest — and probably the simply i that is useful — file format : PHP. Why is the simplest? Considering you tin state where the code starts with <? and where it ends with ?> , with that I can put the PHP code anywhere in the file.

I already knew something about GIF, so allow's start with it. Having in mind that the content of the GIF is worthless to us the tiniest GIF possible is a nifty identify to first :

              HEX   : 47 49 46 38 39 61 01 00 01 00 00 FF 00 2C 00 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 00 02 00 3B            
              ASCII : GIF89a���ÿ�,��������;            

As explained in the weblog post, that makes a 1x1 black gif and information technology should break considering it doesn't accept the Global Color Table, but it works because the readers does non follow the specification at risk. Now I want to put my PHP string somewhere in at that place. Reading the GIF89a Specification I've found the Annotate Extension which allow u.s. to put a comment in the GIF at the end of the file. Something like that :

                              vii half dozen v 4 iii 2 1 0        Field Name                    Blazon      +---------------+   0  |      0x21     |       Extension Introducer          Byte      +---------------+   1  |      0xFE     |       Comment Characterization                 Byte      +---------------+       +===============+      |    <?         |   Northward  |    phpinfo(); |       Comment Data            Data Sub-blocks      |               |      +===============+       +---------------+   0  |       ;       |       Block Terminator              Byte      +---------------+            

So now we can append our PHP code as a comment in the GIF :

              HEX   : 47 49 46 38 39 61 01 00 01 00 00 FF 00 2C 00 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 00 02 00 21 FE 3C 3F seventy 68 70 69 6E 66 6F 28 29 3B ASCII : GIF89a���ÿ�,��������!þ<?phpinfo();            

Annotation that !þ = 0x21 0xFE , and PHP doesn't crave the ?> at the cease. Also GIF makes easy for us having the EOF equally a semicolon.

PHP + PDF

Following the steps of PoC||GTFO let's play with PDF. The program still the same, get the simplest PDF possible and try to suspend a comment.

I had a problem with the first part of the plan, I utilize OS 10 and his PDF reader is restrict as fuck, about every simple PDF that I've found in the internet has some error for the OS X'south reader. The only one that is all in ASCII and worked for me was this i: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32142316

              %PDF-1.2  ix 0 obj << >> stream BT/ 9 Tf(Exam)' ET endstream endobj 4 0 obj << /Type /Page /Parent 5 0 R /Contents 9 0 R >> endobj five 0 obj << /Kids [four 0 R ] /Count one /Type /Pages /MediaBox [ 0 0 99 9 ] >> endobj 3 0 obj << /Pages v 0 R /Blazon /Catalog >> endobj trailer << /Root iii 0 R >> %%EOF            

Information technology has a lot of parts that isn't required for other readers, similar the Chrome's reader, and it should be actually smaller but information technology doesn't matter. PDF is much simpler, like any programme language it has a code for comments which is % , so simply put that subsequently any line and append the PHP code .

              %PDF-1.2 %<?phpinfo()?> ...            

Simplest approach

Surfing in the Web I've found something really cute , a repository with a huge list with the "Smallest possible […] file", so I started to try append PHP to some of that files.

As it turns out, nearly of the files has a EOF of some kind to country that the file has ended, and most readers just ignores anything that is put after that EOF. Here is 4 examples :

ELF + PHP

              HEX   : 7F 45 4C 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 03 00 01 00 00 00 19 40 CD 80 2C 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 34 00 twenty 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 CD fourscore 00 40 CD 80 4C 00 00 00 4C 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 3C 3F 70 68 seventy 69 6E 66 6F 28 29 3B 3F 3E ASCII : ELF��������������@̀,�����������4� ���������@̀�@̀L���L���������<?phpinfo();?>            

MP3 + PHP

              HEX   : FF E3 18 C4 00 00 00 03 48 00 00 00 00 4C 41 4D 45 33 2E 39 38 2E 32 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 3C 3F 70 68 lxx 69 6E 66 6F 28 29 3B 3F 3E ASCII : ÿãÄ���H����LAME3.98.2�������������������������������������������������<?phpinfo();?>            

JPG + PHP

              HEX   : FF D8 FF DB 00 43 00 03 02 02 02 02 02 03 02 02 02 03 03 03 03 04 06 04 04 04 04 04 08 06 06 05 06 09 08 0A 0A 09 08 09 09 0A 0C 0F 0C 0A 0B 0E 0B 09 09 0D 11 0D 0E 0F 10 10 11 x 0A 0C 12 thirteen 12 10 13 0F 10 ten 10 FF C9 00 0B 08 00 01 00 01 01 01 11 00 FF CC 00 06 00 10 10 05 FF DA 00 08 01 01 00 00 3F 00 D2 CF 20 FF D9 3C 3F 70 68 lxx 69 6E 66 6F 28 29 3B 3F 3E ASCII : ÿØÿÛ�C�                          
                                        ÿÉ� ���ÿÌ��ÿÚ���?�ÒÏ ÿÙ<?phpinfo();?>            

Append PHP to JPEG is really old, only everyone just put in the EXIF, and I consider it cheating.

BMP + PHP

              HEX  : 42 4D 1E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1A 00 00 00 0C 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 18 00 00 00 FF 00 3C 3F 70 68 70 69 6E 66 6F 28 29 3B 3F 3E ASCI : BM���������� ���������ÿ�<?phpinfo();?>            

Bonus round :

Afterward that finding I started playing with something more hardcore. A GIF that is as well a valid Python. None of the higher up "techniques" works because you can't only say to Python Interpreter where to offset to run the code like PHP. Let's take another await at another GIF :

              HEX   : 47 49 46 38 39 61 01 00 01 00 80 01 00 FF FF FF 00 00 00 21 F9 04 01 0A 00 01 00 2C 00 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 00 02 02 4C 01 00 3B ASCII : GIF89a��€�ÿÿÿ���!ù ��,�������L�;            

Permit's try a error based analysis, what is the fault that this file gives when run equally a .py ?

              $ python tinytrans.gif   File "tinytrans.gif", line 1     GIF89a           ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax            

It throws a syntax error at the 0x01 byte, which is expected. The GIF Magic Number specifies that is a GIF and that his version is "89a", it turns out that every reader just require that the version is 89 or 87 ignoring the "a" part, then we can supervene upon the "a" with a "=" and state that "GIF89" is a variable, that should be a nice start. Let's run again.

              $ python tinytrans.gif   File "tinytrans.gif", line one     GIF89=           ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax            

Over again , as expected. The first idea that I accept was to only comment the gibberish part of the GIF and put a annotate, just like at the PHP+GIF, that is a valid python and information technology was going to be fine. Simply in the eye of the gibberish information technology has a 0x0a byte, which is also a new line, that bugs all my attempts. I was trying to brand something like this :

              GIF89=\ #[email protected][email protected]$!(@#@!_#)[email protected][e-mail protected]!þ\ __import__('bone').system('ls');            

That is, a multi-line variable declaration using the '\' and in the center of it only commenting the Non-ASCII, after that appending the '!þ' to get-go a GIF comment, jumping to another line and putting the actual code, following past the EOF'south semicolon, which is also valid in Python.

Only trying to make a comment in a multi-line variable declaration was just impossible, only making that within a parentheses was valid : https://stackoverflow.com/a/22914853 . New try :

HEX :

              47 49 46 38 39 3D 28 0A 00 00 eighty 01 00 FF FF FF 00 00 00 21 F9 04 01 00 00 01 00 2C 00 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 00 02 02 4C 01 00 21 FE 0A 5F 5F 69 6D 70 6F 72 74 5F 5F 28 27 6F 73 27 29 2E 73 79 73 74 65 6D 28 27 6C 73 27 29 29 3B            

ASCII :

              GIF89=( ��€�ÿÿÿ���!ù���,�������50�!þ __import__('os').arrangement('ls'));            

Note that the interpreter will just ignore the line that starts with a Non-ASCII character, which is odd, so nosotros don't need the # . And Running :

              $ python python.gif bash.gif  handtinyblack.gif php.elf   php.mp3   tinytrans.gif bmp.bmp   php-logo-virus.jpg php.gif   php.pdf   tinytrans.gpy dude.gif  php.bmp   php.jpg   python.gif  tinytrans.py            

Yay !
