Pintool2

Description

pintool2 is an improved version of the pintool.py script written by wagiro (Eduardo García), available here.

This version integrates an additional reverse order option to brute force password in reverse order (starts from the end).

This tool can be useful for solving some reversing challenges in CTFs events. Implements the technique described here.

Installation

Download:

$ git clone https://github.com/sebastiendamaye/pintool2.git

Then edit pintool2.py and modify the following variables:

PINBASEPATH = "/data/pin-3.0-76991-gcc-linux"
PIN = "%s/pin" % PINBASEPATH
INSCOUNT32 = "%s/source/tools/ManualExamples/obj-ia32/inscount0.so" % PINBASEPATH
INSCOUNT64 = "%s/source/tools/ManualExamples/obj-intel64/inscount0.so" % PINBASEPATH

Usage

Syntax

usage: pintool2.py [-h] [-e] [-l LEN] [-c NUMBER] [-b CHARACTER] [-a ARCH]
                   [-i INITPASS] [-s SIMBOL] [-d EXPRESSION] [-r]
                   Filename

Options

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-e

Study the password length, for example -e -l 40, with 40 characters

-l LEN

Length of password (Default: 10)

-c NUMBER

Charset definition for brute force

1: Lowercase

2: Uppecase

3: Numbers

4: Hexadecimal

5: Punctuation

6: All

-b CHARACTER

Add characters for the charset, example -b _-

-a ARCH

Program architecture 32 or 64 bits, -a 32 or -a 64

-i INITPASS

Initial password characters, example -i CTF{

-s SyMBOL

Symbol for complete all password (Default: _)

-d EXPRESSION

Difference between instructions that are successful or not

(Default: != 0, example -d '== -12', -d '=> 900', -d '<= 17' or -d '!= 32')

-r

Start in reverse order
