  • Open the ipv6Evil capture with wireshark
  • The challenge description and title give us good hints:
    • DNS Buffer Overflow is not for everyone !
    • Ipv6 evil
  • We can deduce that we need to look to a bad ipv6 request that causes DNS buffer overflow
  • Use the filter ipv6 and sort the result by size ( a buffer overflow packet is supposed to have a large and unusual size due to the added padding
  • Check every result by starting from the heaviest packet
  • Check the ASCII result of each packet you should see some unusual results with a lot of “A”
  • Unfortunately the first one is not the right flag see image

wireshark capture

  • Continue to check the others
  • By going from the heaviest to the lightest packet we notice some other unusual strings:

  • If we concate all those strings we get: We_Ar3_N0t_th3_Same what makes sense
  • Now do not forget to encrypt it with sha256 and now you got the flag
