Lots of logs Writeup

Solved By : thewhiteh4t

The blog contains links to 3 log files. As per hints in challenge description we are supposed to find more log files and as an assumption one of them will contain the flag

On the basis of the URL of the 3 available log files I created a small custom wordlist :

    > cat wordlist.txt
    0
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6

    Mon.log
    Tue.log
    Wed.log
    Thu.log
    Thur.log
    Fri.log
    Sat.log
    Sun.log

then I used ffuf to fuzz the challenge site to find more logs…

ffuf -w wordlist.txt -u https://logs.sdc.tf/logs/FUZZ -recursion -recursion-depth 5 -o results.txt -of csv

in the result I gathered over 1900 logs!

After this I attempted to curl them and find sdctf in them but it did not work so flag wasn’t available directly. Then I downloaded all available logs 😞 using wget

After wasting some hours :

grep -vrnw "SELL\|FIN\|PROC\|LOG\|PROF" .

so -v is used for invert grep, I used it because I was looking for unusual stuff, if you look at the log most of them have these keywords like SELL etc which were normal text

so here we can see that some of the bash history is leaked

nc logger.sdc.tf 1338

and a password
