Memory Corruption Penetration Testing Patterns
当对原生应用（C/C++/Rust unsafe）进行内存安全渗透测试时加载此 Skill。覆盖栈溢出、堆溢出、UAF、整数溢出等。
Attack Surface Discovery
高风险目标：
- 网络协议解析器：HTTP/2、DNS、TLS、自定义二进制协议
- 文件格式解析：图片（PNG/JPEG）、文档（PDF/Office）、多媒体（MP4/FLV）
- 游戏客户端：自定义数据包解析、排行榜/回放文件处理、RPC 消息
- IoT/嵌入式设备：固件中的 Web 服务器、协议实现
- 浏览器扩展：与原生代码交互的 JS 桥接
- 字符串处理函数：escape/unescape、编码转换
识别信号：
- 应用使用 C/C++ 编写
- 处理不可信的二进制数据输入
- 自定义协议或文件格式解析
- 历史上有过内存安全漏洞的组件
Exploitation Techniques
栈缓冲区溢出：
- 定位溢出点：发送超长输入到输入缓冲区
- 确定偏移量：使用 pattern_create / pattern_offset（Metasploit）
- 覆盖返回地址：跳转到 shellcode 或 ROP gadget
- 绕过保护：ASLR（信息泄露）、DEP/NX（ROP chain）、Stack Canary（信息泄露/fork 暴力破解）
堆溢出 / Use-After-Free：
- 堆喷射（Heap Spray）：填充堆空间以控制内存布局
- UAF 触发：释放对象后重新分配同大小块，控制虚表指针
- 类型混淆：利用错误的类型转换访问越界内存
整数溢出：
size_t total = count * sizeof(element);
buffer = malloc(total);
memcpy(buffer, input, count * sizeof(element));
格式字符串漏洞：
# 信息泄露
%x.%x.%x.%x
%p.%p.%p.%p
# 任意写入
%n (写入已输出字节数)
模糊测试方法：
- AFL/AFL++：覆盖引导模糊测试
- libFuzzer：LLVM 集成的进程内模糊测试
- 自定义 harness：针对特定解析函数编写
- ASAN/MSAN/TSAN：编译时插桩检测内存错误
Detection Checklist
Impact Assessment
漏洞利用可达到的效果：
- 远程代码执行：栈溢出/堆溢出 + ROP chain → 完全控制目标系统
- 拒绝服务：NULL 指针解引用、assert 失败 → 应用崩溃
- 信息泄露：越界读取 → 泄露内存中的敏感数据（密钥、session）
- 沙箱逃逸：浏览器/游戏客户端中的 UAF → 逃逸渲染进程沙箱
严重度判断：
- Critical：可远程触发的 RCE（如网络协议解析器中的溢出）
- High：需要用户交互的 RCE（打开恶意文件）、可靠的信息泄露
- Medium：仅 DoS（崩溃）、利用条件苛刻、需要本地访问
