pre-requirement

• linux
  • recommend ubuntu and kali.
  • ssh service need to be open for virtual machine.
• editor
  • editor on your host system.
    • recommend notepad++ for windows.
  • alternatively, terminal editor like vim.
  • editor mainly serves as recorder
• terminal
  • terminal on your host system.
    • recommend msys2 for windows.
  • tmux on linux
    • recommend byobu. ( a wrapper of tmux )
• pwn
  • pwntools
  • pwndbg
  • IPython
  • welpwn
  • glibc-all-in-one

step 1

if you use linux as your host system, you can ignore this step.

use the terminal on your host system, and ssh into your virtual machine.

step 2

open tmux. I use byobu personally.

step 3

open your editor, and write some script.

use this for test. ( assume that you have installed welpwn )

from PwnContext import *

context.terminal = ['tmux', 'splitw', '-h']
ctx.binary = '/bin/cat'

ctx.start()
ctx.debug()

step 4

open IPython in your terminal, and copy the code in your editor. then paste into IPython.

press enter to exec the code.

look what we got ! IPython shell on the left and gdb on the right.

step 5

do what you need in gdb and do IO in IPython.

conclusion

this is just a simple tutorial about the basic pwn environment.

you may not realize how convenient it is.

keep learning rest sections and you will know it.
