Wargames-Vortex Level 0

Level 0

Level Goal:

Your goal is to connect to port 5842 on vortex.labs.overthewire.org and read in 4 unsigned integers in host byte order. Add these integers together and send back the results to get a username and password for vortex1. This information can be used to log in using SSH.

Note:  vortex is on an 32bit x86 machine (meaning, a little endian architecture)

Solution:

#include<iostream>
#include<boost/asio.hpp>
#include<boost/array.hpp>

using namespace std;
using boost::asio::ip::tcp;

int main(int argc,char**argv){
    if(argc!=3){
        cerr<<"Usage: prog <host> <port>"<<endl;
        return -1;
    }
    try{
        boost::asio::io_service io_service;
        tcp::resolver resolver(io_service);
        tcp::resolver::query query(tcp::v4(),argv[1],argv[2]);
        tcp::resolver::iterator iter=resolver.resolve(query);
        tcp::resolver::iterator end;
        tcp::socket socket(io_service);

        boost::system::error_code error=boost::asio::error::host_not_found;
        while(error&&iter!=end){
            socket.close();
            socket.connect(*iter++,error);
        }
        if(error){
            throw boost::system::system_error(error);
        }
        unsigned int sum=0;
        for(int i=0;i<4;++i){
            unsigned int tmp;
            socket.receive(boost::asio::buffer(&tmp,sizeof(tmp)));
            sum+=tmp;
        }
        socket.send(boost::asio::buffer(&sum,sizeof(sum)));
        boost::array<unsigned char,512> buf;
        socket.receive(boost::asio::buffer(buf));
        cout<<buf.data()<<endl;
    }catch(std::exception& e){
        cerr<<"Exception: "<<e.what()<<endl;
    }
    return 0;
