Introduction to Public Key Cryptography and RSA Encryption

Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Cryptography

The art of protecting information by transforming it (encrypting it) into an unreadable format, called cipher text. Only those who possess a secret key can decipher (or decrypt) the message into plain text. Encrypted messages can sometimes be broken by cryptanalysis, also called code breaking, although modern cryptography techniques are virtually unbreakable.

Cryptography systems can be broadly classified into:-

1. Symmetric-key Cryptography(or Secret Key Cryptography):-systems that use a single key that both the sender and recipient have.

2. Public-key Cryptography:-systems that use two keys, a public key known to everyone and a private key that only the recipient of messages uses.

3. Hash Functions: Uses a mathematical transformation to irreversibly "encrypt" information

See the Picture below :-

Today I will discuss with you Public Key Cryptography by taking RSA Encryption as an example:-

Public-Key Cryptography(PKC)

Public-key cryptography has been said to be the most significant new development in cryptography.Modern PKC was first described publicly by Stanford University professor Martin Hellman and graduate student Whitfield Diffie in 1976. Their paper described a two-key crypto system in which two parties could engage in a secure communication over a non-secure communications channel without having to share a secret key.

PKC depends upon the existence of so-called one-way functions, or mathematical functions that are easy to compute whereas their inverse function is relatively difficult to compute. Let me give you two simple examples:

Multiplication vs. factorization: Suppose I tell you that I have two prime numbers, 3 and 7, and that I want to calculate the product; it should take almost no time to calculate that value, which is 21. Now suppose, instead, that I tell you that I have a number, 21, and I need you tell me which pair of prime numbers I multiplied together to obtain that number. You will eventually come up with the solution but whereas calculating the product took milliseconds, factoring will take longer. The problem becomes much harder if I start with primes that have 400 digits or so, because the product will have ~800 digits.

Exponentiation vs. logarithms: Suppose I tell you that I want to take the number 3 to the 6th power; again, it is relatively easy to calculate 36 = 729. But if I tell you that I have the number 729 and want you to tell me the two integers that I used, x and y so that logx 729 = y, it will take you longer to find the two values.
While the examples above are trivial, they do represent two of the functional pairs that are used with PKC; namely, the ease of multiplication and exponentiation versus the relative difficulty of factoring and calculating logarithms, respectively. The mathematical "trick" in PKC is to find a trap door in the one-way function so that the inverse calculation becomes easy given knowledge of some item of information.

Generic PKC employs two keys that are mathematically related although knowledge of one key does not allow someone to easily determine the other key. One key is used to encrypt the plaintext and the other key is used to decrypt the ciphertext. The important point here is that it does not matter which key is applied first, but that both keys are required for the process to work (Figure 1B). Because a pair of keys are required, this approach is also called asymmetric cryptography.

In PKC, one of the keys is designated the public key and may be advertised as widely as the owner wants. The other key is designated the private key and is never revealed to another party. It is straight forward to send messages under this scheme. Suppose Alice wants to send Bob a message. Alice encrypts some information using Bob's public key; Bob decrypts the ciphertext using his private key. This method could be also used to prove who sent a message; Alice, for example, could encrypt some plaintext with her private key; when Bob decrypts using Alice's public key, he knows that Alice sent the message and Alice cannot deny having sent the message.

Examples of PKC :-

• RSA
• Diffie-Hellman
• Digital Signature Algorithm(DSA)
• Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
• ElGamal
  

RSA

The first, and still most common, PKC implementation, named for the three MIT mathematicians who developed it — Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. RSA today is used in hundreds of software products and can be used for key exchange, digital signatures, or encryption of small blocks of data. RSA uses a variable size encryption block and a variable size key. The key-pair is derived from a very large number, n, that is the product of two prime numbers chosen according to special rules; these primes may be 100 or more digits in length each, yielding an n with roughly twice as many digits as the prime factors. The public key information includes n and a derivative of one of the factors of n; an attacker cannot determine the prime factors of n (and, therefore, the private key) from this information alone and that is what makes the RSA algorithm so secure.

Algorithm of RSA:-

To generate the encryption and decryption keys, we can

proceed as follows.

1. Generate randomly two “large” primes 'p' and 'q'.

2. Compute 'n' = pq and 'φ' = (p − 1)*(q − 1).

3. Choose a number 'e' so that gcd(e, φ) = 1.

4. Find the multiplicative inverse of 'e' modulo 'φ', i.e., find d so that
    e*d ≡ 1 (mod φ).

This can be done efficiently using Euclid’s Ex-tended Algorithm.

The encryption public key is KE = (n, e) and the decryption private key is KD = (n, d).

The encryption function is :- E(M ) = M^e mod n.
The decryption function is :- D(M ) = M^d mod n.
These functions satisfy D(E(M )) = M and E(D(M )) = M ,for any 0 ≤ M < n. 

Now Let's take an example which will clear the facts :-

P = 61 <- first prime number (destroy this after computing E and D)
Q = 53 <- second prime number (destroy this after computing E and D)
PQ = 3233 <- modulus (give this to others)
E = 17 <- public exponent (give this to others)
D = 2753 <- private exponent (keep this secret!)


Your public key is (E,PQ).
Your private key is D.
The encryption function is:

encrypt(T) = (T^E) mod PQ = (T^17) mod 3233

The decryption function is:

decrypt(C) = (C^D) mod PQ= (C^2753) mod 3233

To encrypt the plaintext value 123, we do this:

encrypt(123) = (123^17) mod 3233 = 337587917446653715596592958817679803 mod 3233 = 855

To decrypt the ciphertext value 855, we do this:

decrypt(855) = (855^2753) mod 3233= 123

One way to compute the value of 855^2753 mod 3233 is like this:

2753 = 101011000001 base 2,
therefore, 2753 = 1 + 2^6 + 2^7 + 2^9 + 2^11= 1 + 64 + 128 + 512 + 2048
Consider this table of powers of 855:

855^1 = 855 (mod 3233)
855^2 = 367 (mod 3233)
855^4 = 367^2 (mod 3233) = 2136 (mod 3233)
855^8 = 2136^2 (mod 3233) = 733 (mod 3233)
855^16 = 733^2 (mod 3233) = 611 (mod 3233)
855^32 = 611^2 (mod 3233) = 1526 (mod 3233)
855^64 = 1526^2 (mod 3233) = 916 (mod 3233)
855^128 = 916^2 (mod 3233) = 1709 (mod 3233)
855^256 = 1709^2 (mod 3233) = 1282 (mod 3233)
855^512 = 1282^2 (mod 3233) = 1160 (mod 3233)
855^1024 = 1160^2 (mod 3233) = 672 (mod 3233)
855^2048 = 672^2 (mod 3233) = 2197 (mod 3233)

Given the above, we can do like this:

855^2753 (mod 3233)
= 855^(1 + 64 + 128 + 512 + 2048) (mod 3233)
= 855^1 * 855^64 * 855^128 * 855^512 * 855^2048 (mod 3233)
= 855 * 916 * 1709 * 1160 * 2197 (mod 3233)
= 794 * 1709 * 1160 * 2197 (mod 3233)
= 2319 * 1160 * 2197 (mod 3233)
= 184 * 2197 (mod 3233)
= 123 (mod 3233)
= 123

An old man thinks f*cking Technology sucks. Well he had put his hopes too high on his plan of action but ended up loving Java and Technology, "This is fucking Brilliant"

3. Java v/s .NET, Java Forever and Ever Movie

Nothing more to say. Watch the video and laugh your arse off :D

2. Javapocalypse and The dawn of Javatar

The world thinks Java is "A Virus" since it is less secure. But when Java was shut down. The inevitable Apocalypse soon took place. Now the Javatar is world last Hope.

SecurityOverride.org Software Cracking Level 1 | Basic Serial Disclosure

SecurityOverride.org is an Information Security related site, which provides security enthusiast a platform to communicate, share this ideas, views, exploits, research, and also contains several Hacking or Security challenges which judges your skills at different levels.

A few days back I stumbled upon this site (Not for first time) and decided to sign up. After that I straight away went to the challenges section and solved a few of them and picked an interest. So in this I will be sharing how I solved the Level 1 of Software cracking challenge.

Spoilers and Excitement Alert :- People who wish to solve it of their own do not proceed any further and go straight to some other threads.

========XXX Line of Interest XXX ========

Level 1 : A software program is given in compressed .rar archive format and you're required to crack it and get the password.

Step 1 : Know Your Target.

To learn and gather more information about the format of the executable should be known, also to execute the program and see the kind of task it requires us to perform to get the data. The application should be run in a sandboxed environment for security and privacy purpose.

To understand the format and specification of the PE file specially PEiD Signature I used a tool named PortExAnalyzer made by our very own and loved Deque.

Download PortEx Here :- https://github.com/katjahahn/PortEx/blob/master/progs/PortexAnalyzer.jar?raw=true

I downloaded Sandboxie, a software application which runs programs in a sandboxed environment. You can download Sandboxie from here [~ 6.6 MB]:- http://www.sandboxie.com/SandboxieInstall.exe

After you can installed Sandboxie open the application  inside the archive downloaded from the SecurityOverride site.

It looks something like this :-

Step 2 : Research and Reverse Engineer

Now after we have a had a look at how the main program looks like its time to derive conclusion based on facts and results. On a visual level we first notice at the icon of the PE which denotes the application is made with some .NET language, but you can't be sure. Why ? because the icon could have been changed or fuzzed in order to confuse you. So its better to cross verify. Now we analyse the PE using PortEx we downloaded earlier. Following is the trace log created when I use it on the PE.

The report has been saved with the filename "PortEx-Report-SL1.txt". Open and see if you find something interesting.

Alternatively, we can extract the sections we are interested in and that is CodeView and PEiD Signature. You can use the above but I prefer writing a code to get what I need to know rather than the complete report. So I wrote the following code in Java using Deque's PortEx Library to get the sections we are interested in :-

package com.rawcoders.REStuffs;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;

import com.github.katjahahn.parser.PEData;
import com.github.katjahahn.parser.PELoader;
import com.github.katjahahn.parser.sections.SectionLoader;
import com.github.katjahahn.parser.sections.debug.DebugSection;
import com.github.katjahahn.tools.sigscanner.SignatureScanner;

/**

* @author Psycho_Coder

*/
public class SoScL1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        File pefile = new File("C:\\Users\\Psycho\\Desktop\\Software Level 1.exe");
        
        /*
         * Get PE Signature.
         */            
        SignatureScanner scanner = SignatureScanner.newInstance();
        boolean epOnly = true;
        List sigs = scanner.scanAll(pefile, epOnly);
        System.out.println("PEiD Signature\n");    
        sigs.forEach(System.out::println);
        
        /*    
         * Print the CodeviewInfo
         */
        PEData pedata = PELoader.loadPE(pefile);
        DebugSection debug = new SectionLoader(pedata).loadDebugSection();
        System.out.println(debug.getCodeView().getInfo());        
    }
}

The Output for the above code :-

PEiD Signature

[Microsoft Visual C# v7.0 / Basic .NET] bytes matched: 54 at address: 13470

Codeview
--------

Age:  10
GUID: f512ffaf-b4c3-4f5a-b634-aa8f46bb8dce
File: C:\Users\overide\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\WindowsApplication1\WindowsApplication1\obj\Debug\WindowsApplicati​on1.pdb

Observations

The following gives the location of the pdb (Program database) file commonly used by .NET applications. From the forensic point of view the Username of the System that "overide" is important since it tells us that someone with a system account name "overide" made this (Most Probably but not with conclusive evidence)

Codeview
--------

Age:  10
GUID: f512ffaf-b4c3-4f5a-b634-aa8f46bb8dce
File: C:\Users\overide\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\WindowsApplication1\WindowsApplication1\obj\Debug\WindowsApplicati​on1.pdb
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following PEiD Signature tells us that the Application was programmed with C#.

PEID Signatures

From here on we have two approaches. First we open the exe using any Hex Editor and see if we can find something interesting or if we can directly get the Serial from there(this step can be done earlier too). Now its a common sense that the serials or the password required will be stored in a string when it was coded (Not necessarily true because I can store them in hex or other encrypted format too which is being changed to other form by some other instructions.). So if you open the exe with any hex editor and observe thn you will come across something like this which is the serial we want :-

The problem with this method is that if any PE file which is large in size or the serials are encrypted in some some binary form then it will be a problem to manually look for the serial and it could get difficult. So we will focus on the second approach which is much more easy.

Lets move on to the next approach. Based upon the above observation we can downloaded any .NET decompiler to reverse engineer the code. For such purpose you can use different tools, several free applications are available. The better one's would be ILSpy and dotPeek.

Download ILSpy : https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/releases/download/2.3/ILSpy_Master_2.3.0.1827_Binaries.zip
Download dotPeek : https://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/download/

I will give show you both of them. You need to install ILSpy but dotPeek doesn't needs any installation.

Now all you have to do is open the PE file we have to crack with ILSpy or dotPeek and then locate :- "WindowsApplication1\Form1\button1_Click" and double press it to see the decompiled code. button1.Click is the event for the Register button. On the main panel the Serial Number and Password which you will be prompted with is clearly isible.

Observe the Images

ILSpy

dotPeek

Step 3 :Verify your Findings

So, these were the number of steps you can perform to get the serial and password. The following shows the password when you enter the password.

Conclusion

For software cracking, that concepts we learnt are applicable for many different scenarios and in different ways too like Source Code Theft forensics, Secure Code analysis etc.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. Stay tuned for the next Level 2 Walkathrough.

Tool Summary

1. PortExAnalyzer
2. Sandboxie
3. ILSpy or dotPeek.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
Psycho_Coder.

PDF File Generation example in Java using iText Library

iText is an awesome library to work with for PDF manipulation which also gives complete support for its format. I made an example where reports can be generated in PDF file format using iText library for Java. I made a swing app and we enter the data and then click the create pdf button to generate the pdf. Its not a tutorial but more like an example with a demo. Use the code, and I hope its readable enough.

Modified Atbash Cipher code in Python

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Atbash cipher is a very specific case of a Monoalphabetic substitution cipher where the letters of the alphabet are reversed. In other words, all A's are replaced with Z's, all B's are replaced with Y's, and so on. 

I modified this general scheme somewhat and added support for encrypting digits and special characters too to make it stronger because reversing the alphabet twice will get you actual alphabet, you can encipher and decipher a message using the exact same algorithm.

Example:

Plaintext  : Ex094, You are a very Nice Guy!

Ciphertext: [liZeB?~uo?8r4?8?n4rk?_064?-okX

class AtBash:

   def __init__(self):
       self.alphabets = ' ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789~!@#$%^&*()_+|:"<>-=[];,.?/`'

   def encode(self, plaintext):
       cipher = ""
       for i in plaintext:
           index = self.alphabets.index(i)
           cipher += self.alphabets[abs(len(self.alphabets) - index - 1) % len(self.alphabets)]
       return cipher

   def decode(self, ciphertext):
       return self.encode(ciphertext)


if __name__ == "__main__":
   atbash = AtBash()

   enc = atbash.encode("Hello World!")
   print(enc)

   dec = atbash.decode(enc)
   print(dec)
