DDCTF2018出了一道区块链题目,对于区块链的web安全网上还没有很多的教程,这道题目给了一个很好的入门机会,我也将学习到的知识分享出来。

DD自己创造了一个自己的区块链货币用于商店,但它并不是真正的区块链,因为链只保存在服务器的session中,不过这不影响我们理解和做题。

来看一张交易模型

关于UTXO的详解看http://8btc.com/article-4381-1.html

区块链就是区块和链。在这道题目中,看上面的图片,一个方框就是一个区块(block)。一个区块包含了一次交易(tx),一个交易包含了交易的输入(input)和交易的输出(output),其中输出又称为UTXO。每一次交易的输入和输出必须相同,如果输入10块钱花了2块给便利店,那么2块输出给便利店,8块输出给自己。也可以把UTXO理解为余额,因为每次能花多少,都是要取决于之前的UTXO向自己输出了多少。

这道题目的背景是银行在某天发行了100w个DDB(对应上图第一个方块),这时黑客出现了,他在第一个block后面append了一个区块,把银行的99w9999转给了自己,把1转给银行。这样银行就只剩下一块钱了,黑客还得意的喊:second_block = create_block(genesis_block['hash'], 'HAHA, I AM THE BANK NOW!', [transferred]) 题目的要求是获得两个钻石,获得钻石的方法是商店有100w元。一个钻石的价格是100w,就是说我们得有200w才可以得到两个钻石,可银行只发行了100w,该怎么办?

双花攻击

双花攻击是同一笔UTXO在不同交易中的花费,双花不会产生新的货币,只能把自己花出去的钱重新拿回来。

这个攻击方法给了我灵感,实际上这道题就是使用双花攻击中的51% attack。51% attack指的是攻击者如果可以拥有超过全网50%的算力,就可以创造一条高度大于原始链的链,攻击者可以发送一个新的块到这条链上。(如果有对比特币进行51% attack成功的案例,最大的危害在于人们对比特币的信心受损导致的比特币大跌而不是51% attack本身带来的危害)

如何进行51% attack攻击?在这道题中,就是创造一条超过原始链的长度。为了在后续讲解中方便,先写出题目给出的几个块,主链上块前有*

*块1(创世区块):银行发行100w币
*块2(1):黑客转走99w9999,银行留1
*块3(1):空块(什么都没操作)

具体操作就是从块1之后append一个块,把银行的100w转到shop中

*块1(创世区块):银行发行100w币
*块2(1):黑客转走99w9999,银行留1 块2(2)--shop转走100w
*块3(1):空块(什么都没操作)

(还可以随意转钱?就是有这种操作23333)

下一步,在自己append的块后append一个空块

*块1(创世区块):银行发行100w币
*块2(1):黑客转走99w9999,银行留1 块2(2)--shop转走100w
*块3(1):空块(什么都不发生) 块3(2)--空块(什么都不发生)

再来一次同样的操作

*块1(创世区块):银行发行100w币
块2(1):黑客转走99w9999,银行留1 *块2(2)--shop转走100w
块3(1):空块(什么都没操作) *块3(2)--空块(什么都不发生)
*块4(1)--空块(什么都不发生)

此时最长的链为块1-块2(2)-块3(1)-块4(1)。这样,我们就构造了一个比题目给我们还要长的链,区块链这套逻辑会把最长的链当做主链,主链从块2(2)处分叉,块2(1)失效了,shop账户中多了100w,我们获得一个钻石。接下来系统在购买钻石的块3(2)块后添加一个块,转走商店中的100w到商店钱包。

*块1(创世区块):银行发行100w币
块2(1):黑客转走99w9999,银行留1 *块2(2)--shop转走100w
*块3(2)--空块(什么都不发生)
*块4(1)--空块(什么都不发生)
*块5(1)--把100w转到shop_wallet_address

那么另一个钻石该怎么获得呢?继续利用50% attack攻击,从块4(1)分叉,添加空块

*块1(创世区块):银行发行100w币
块2(1):黑客转走99w9999,银行留1 *块2(2)--shop转走100w
*块3(2)--空块(什么都不发生)
*块4(1)--空块(什么都不发生)
*块5(1)--把100w转到shop_wallet_address 块5(2)--空块(什么都不发生)

再append一个空块

*块1(创世区块):银行发行100w币
块2(1):黑客转走99w9999,银行留1 *块2(2)--shop转走100w
*块3(2)--空块(什么都不发生)
*块4(1)--空块(什么都不发生)
块5(1)--把100w转到shop_wallet_address *块5(2)--空块(什么都不发生)
*块6(1)--空块(什么都不发生)

主链变为块1-块2(2)-块3(1)-块4(1)-块5(2)-块6(1),块5(1)失效,shop拥有100w,钻石+1,得到flag。

为何可以直接append?

在这道题目中,给了一个append块的方法,可以将post请求当做块append到某个块后面,这个是一个正常的功能。在生成sign的时候没有将使用签名的交易hash计算进去,导致在验证的时候没有验证sign和交易hash的对应,所以只要有一个sign,就可以不断的利用这个sign append区块。

如果可以任意append,为什么不直接给shop转200w?

首先,所有的append都必须在创世block后。其次,系统会验证append块中的sign。还会验证prev值,是否为某个已存在的block的hash。(block的hash是将block的每个参数打包后进行hash)无法知道某个block的hash就无法在block后append一个block。最后,转出的钱,必须是之前的UTXO,题目中UTXO总量为100w,无法创造200w的UTXO。

51% attack和算力有什么关系?

append的块除了以上要求,还有一个复杂性要求。也就是工作量证明(https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%B7%A5%E4%BD%9C%E9%87%8F%E8%AF%81%E6%98%8E/22448498?fr=aladdin)。任意添加一个块的要求是

DIFFICULTY = int('00000' + 'f' * 59, 16)
......
if block_hash > difficulty: raise Exception('Please provide a valid Proof-of-Work')

block的hash要小于系统定义的difficulty。为了使得可以控制hash的大小,一个block中还有一个可以随意定义的nonce,我们可以控制nonce来控制block_hash达到目的。为了满足复杂度要求,必须穷举nonce。init()中的几个块可以使用有语义的nonce是因为在那个阶段DIFFICULTY要求极低。

如果世界上有100个用户在使用这个系统,100个用户都在计算nonce以append自己的block。如果其中一个人计算nonce的速度要超过其余99个的速度,那么他添加新块的速度就会超过其他99个人添加新块的速度,他就可以在随意的一个块开始添加自己的块,使得自己构造的链长度大于其余99个构造的链,成为主链,达成51%攻击。这道题没人和我们比算力,生成一个比最长链长度大一的链即可。
