CryptLab

An E2EE Exploitation Practice Infrastructure

How To Run

This works on my setup.

1. Make venv python -m venv .venv and activate it source .venv/bin/activate
2. Install requirements pip install loguru fastapi python-decouple
3. Install cryptlab editable locally pip install -e .
4. Run the orchestrator on one terminal ORCHESTRATOR_WEBAPP_PORT=8000 FLAG="flag{test}" python cryptlab/orchestrator/main.py
5. Open the browser webapp http://localhost:8000
6. Watch for the server logs for a long token
7. Paste this token in examples/server.py at the top
8. Run python examples/server.py to connect the server script to the orchestrator
9. Open http://localhost:8000/docs to open the Swagger docs
10. Use the Swagger docs to send a post request to /api/v1/exec to execute some actions (Use the example below and the token you used earlier). You should see the corresponding actions being run against your server!

Use the following example execution config:

{
  "n_clients": 2,
  "actions": [
    [0, "SAVE_MESSAGE", "Hello"],
    [1, "SAVE_MESSAGE", "World"],
    [0, "RETRIEVE_MESSAGES"]
  ]
}

Stuff to try out

• Open a serverscript (python examples/server.py) and then open another one in another terminal. The first one should get immediately disconnected.
• Open two serverscripts, one locally and one remotely (i.e. send the post to /api/v1/exec) and see that both clients will execute.
• Make a serverscript sleep with time.sleep(10). The execution will abort because you took too long to reply to the client (only works for remote clients).
• Make a client and server go into an infinite loop with the LOOP command. This will also abort execution.

Important Notes

• If you restart the orchestrator server, refresh the page so that the server can re-register the tokens (the orchestrator is stateless)
• You can also run clients locally python examples/client.py! You can change the execution config at the bottom.

Known Bugs

• Disconnecting a serverscript and reconnecting a new one makes the SERVER_SCRIPT_DISCONNECTED event fire twice in the websocket.
