NahamCon CTF 2021 Andra & Resourceful

Andra

Description: You know what to do. :) Download: https://lautarovculic.com/my_files/andra.apk

Install the APK file using ADB 

adb install andra.apk

We can see a simple login activity. Let's inspect the source code with jadx.

We can see the credentials of this login in the MainActivity class: 

final String str = "Nahamcom";
final String str2 = "pink_panther@786";

Username: nahamcom Password: pink_panther@786

Then, the com.example.hack_the_app.flag activity will be showed with the flag.

Flag: flag{d9f72316dbe7ceab0db10bed1a738482

Resourceful

Description: I built my first ever android app with authentication! Download: https://lautarovculic.com/my_files/resourceful.apk

Install the APK file with ADB 

adb install resourceful.apk

The application will ask us for a password. Let's search in the source code using jadx.

We can found the password in the MainActivity class: 

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override // androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity, androidx.fragment.app.FragmentActivity, androidx.activity.ComponentActivity, androidx.core.app.ComponentActivity, android.app.Activity
    protected void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
        super.onCreate(bundle);
        setContentView(C0247R.layout.activity_main);
        final EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(C0247R.id.password);
        ((Button) findViewById(C0247R.id.submit)).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { // from class: com.congon4tor.resourceful.MainActivity.1
            @Override // android.view.View.OnClickListener
            public void onClick(View view) {
                if (editText.getText().toString().equals("sUp3R_S3cRe7_P4s5w0Rd")) {
                    MainActivity.this.startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, (Class<?>) FlagActivity.class));
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this.getBaseContext(), "Error: Incorrect password", 1).show();
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

The password is sUp3R_S3cRe7_P4s5w0Rd. So, we can insert the password and then. the FlagActivity will be launched.

Also, in the FlagActivity we can see how the flag is crafted: 

((TextView) findViewById(C0247R.id.flagTV)).setText("flag{".concat(getResources().getString(C0247R.string.md5)).concat("}"));

Notice that the content between {} is the md5 hash stored in the strings resources: 

<string name="md5">7eecc051f5cb3a40cd6bda40de6eeb32</string>

Flag: flag{7eecc051f5cb3a40cd6bda40de6eeb32}

I hope you found it useful (:
