nodejs-cribdrag

Based on tooling and ideas from
https://github.com/SpiderLabs/cribdrag

And the articles it came from:

This is a NodeJS based crib dragger. This performs crib dragging attacks against ciphertext encrypted using an XOR operation with a predictable key.

These scripts can be used to cryptanalyze:

• One-Time Pad with reused key (XOR two ciphertexts together)
• Any stream cipher with reused key (XOR two ciphertexts together)
• Single character XOR
• Multiple character XOR

install

$ npm install

Usages

For basic xor'ing of two strings

$ npm run xor 10 11
01

For encrypting using nodeJS broken out of the box aes-256-ctr

$ npm run encrypt "hello"
998560c50a
(node:1407) Warning: Use Cipheriv for counter mode of aes-256-ctr

For encrypting and then xor'ing two strings

$ npm run xorencrypt "hello" "how are you"
000a1b4c0e69d2b905f825
(node:1748) Warning: Use Cipheriv for counter mode of aes-256-ctr
(node:1748) Warning: Use Cipheriv for counter mode of aes-256-ctr

For running cribdrag and interactively doing plain text attacks

$ npm run xorencrypt "You have walked the path of the cryptographer and you are ready for further information. Congrats...." "Your next step will be to contact lawl.bitcoin@gmail.com to receive the next phase of the challenge."

Notice that you will have output with possible drag matches such as

39: rapher  *** (possible drag match)

Read through the articles posted above, but the next drag attempt would be 'cryptographer', so on so forth until the messages are broken.

Canned vector attacks

$ npm run phone
Usage:
npm run phone <phone number from the list below>
[ '555-555-5555',
  '123-456-9999',
  '532-444-4444',
  '876-875-8765',
  '956-234-7563',
  '854-434-1345' ]

(choose a number)

$ npm run phone 876-875-8765
Found exact encrypted password match of: c9d73a845d2c82b444a0666e attempting decrypt of all phone numbers
555-555-5555
123-456-9999
532-444-4444
876-875-8765
956-234-7563
854-434-1345

If you have internal access to a column of encrypted phone numbers and you know that the format is 555-555-5555 as well as at least one phone number you should be able to decrypt all the other phone numbers. Getting the internal number can be as simple as

• Trying 1 or 2 known public numbers
• Insider giving you their phone number
• etc...

Testing

Runs lint, build, and test

$ npm test

Run just the unit tests

$ npm run test:unit

Remove the dest folder (clean)

$ npm run clean
