ROPgadget Tool

This tool lets you search your gadgets on your binaries to facilitate your ROP exploitation. ROPgadget supports ELF/PE/Mach-O format on x86, x64, ARM, ARM64, PowerPC, SPARC and MIPS architectures. Since the version 5, ROPgadget has a new core which is written in Python using Capstone disassembly framework for the gadgets search engine - The older version can be found in the Archives directory but it will not be maintained.

Install

If you want to use ROPgadget, you have to install Capstone first.

For the Capstone's installation on nix machine:

$ cd ./dependencies/capstone-next
$ ./make.sh
$ sudo ./make.sh install
$ cd ./bindings/python
$ sudo make install

Capstone supports multi-platforms (windows, ios, android, cygwin...). For the cross-compilation, please refer to the https://github.com/JonathanSalwan/ROPgadget/blob/dev/dependencies/capstone-next/COMPILE.TXT file.

After Capstone is installed, ROPgadget can be used as a standalone tool:

$ ROPgadget.py

Or installed into the Python site-packages library, and executed from $PATH.

$ python setup.py install
$ ropgadget

Or installed from PyPi

$ pip install ropgadget
$ ropgadget

Usage

usage: ROPgadget.py [-h] [-v] [-c] [--binary <binary>] [--opcode <opcodes>]
                    [--string <string>] [--memstr <string>] [--depth <nbyte>]
                    [--only <key>] [--filter <key>] [--range <start-end>]
                    [--badbytes <byte>] [--rawArch <arch>] [--rawMode <mode>]
                    [--offset <hexaddr>] [--ropchain] [--thumb] [--console]
                    [--norop] [--nojop] [--nosys]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  -v, --version        Display the ROPgadget's version
  -c, --checkUpdate    Checks if a new version is available
  --binary <binary>    Specify a binary filename to analyze
  --opcode <opcodes>   Searh opcode in executable segment
  --string <string>    Search string in readable segment
  --memstr <string>    Search each byte in all readable segment
  --depth <nbyte>      Depth for search engine (default 10)
  --only <key>         Only show specific instructions
  --filter <key>       Suppress specific instructions
  --range <start-end>  Search between two addresses (0x...-0x...)
  --badbytes <byte>    Rejects specific bytes in the gadget's address
  --rawArch <arch>     Specify an arch for a raw file
  --rawMode <mode>     Specify a mode for a raw file
  --offset <hexaddr>   Specify an offset for gadget addresses
  --ropchain           Enable the ROP chain generation
  --thumb              Use the thumb mode for the search engine (ARM only)
  --console            Use an interactive console for search engine
  --norop              Disable ROP search engine
  --nojop              Disable JOP search engine
  --nosys              Disable SYS search engine

How can I contribute ?

• Use Z3 to solve the ROP chain
• Add system gadgets for PPC, Sparc, ARM64 (Gadgets.addSYSGadgets())
• Manage big endian in Mach-O format like the ELF classe.
• Everything you think is cool :)
