IOLI 0x07

a weird "wtf?" string.

$ rabin2 -z ./crackme0x07

again, no password string or compare in `main()`. I put the simplified pseudo code here. var_78h is likely to a char *pointer (string) .

#include <stdint.h>
int32_t main (int32_t arg_10h) {
    printf ("IOLI Crackme Level 0x07\n");
    printf ("Password: ");
    scanf (%s, &var_78h);
    return fcn_080485b9 (&var_78h, arg_10h);
}

due to the symbol info lost, neither `aa` nor `aaa` show the name of functions. we can double check this in "flagspace". Radare2 use fcn_080485b9 as the function name. It's a common case in reverse engineering that we don't have any symbol info of the binary.

we got familiar with this code structure in the previous challenges (the check function). It's not difficult for us even we don't have the symbol info. you can also use `afn` command to rename the function name if you like.

int32_t fcn_080485b9 (char * s, void* envp)
{
    var_ch = 0;
    var_8h = 0;
    for (var_ch = 0; var_ch < strlen(s); ++var_ch)
    {
        var_dh = s[var_ch];
        sscanf(&var_dh, %d, &var_4h);			// read from string[var_ch], store to var_4h
        var_8h += var_4h;
        if(var_8h == 0x10)
            fcn_08048542(s, envp);
    }
    return fcn_08048524();
}

most part of crackme 0x07 is the same with 0x06. and it can be solved by the same password & environment:

$ export LOLAA=help
$ ./cracke0x07
IOLI Crackme Level 0x07
Password: 12346
Password OK!

wait ... where is the 'wtf?'. Often, we would like to find the cross reference (xref) to strings (or data, functions, etc.) in reverse engineering. The related commands in Radare2 are under "ax" namespace:

Macro 'findstref' removed.

the `[DATA] mov dword [esp], str.wtf` at `0x804865c` is an instruction of fcn.080485b9. But the analysis in my PC ignores the remained instructions and only display the incomplete assembly. the range of fcn.080485b9 should be `0x080485b9 ~ 0x0804867c` . we can reset block size and print opcodes.

`test eax, ea;je 0x804867b` will jump to `leave; ret`, which forever skips the str.wtf part. only use `aa` to analyze this binary can display the whole function.
