resettolkien 1.3.0

Reset Tolkien
Unsecure time-based secret exploitation and Sandwich attack implementation

This tool is the result of research into "Unsecure time-based secrets" from this article:

[EN] Unsecure time-based secret and Sandwich Attack - Analysis of my research and release of the "Reset Tolkien" tool

To better understand how to use this tool, we strongly recommend that you read it first.

Yeah, this tool is based on a rather grotesque pun.

Installation
Install from pip:
▶ pip install reset-tolkien

Installation from Docker
▶ git clone https://github.com/AethliosIK/reset-tolkien.git
▶ cd reset-tolkien
▶ docker build -t reset-tolkien:latest .
▶ docker run --rm -it --net=host -v "$PWD:/reset-tolkien/" reset-tolkien:latest -h

Usage
To detect whether a token is time-based, simply use this command:
$ reset-tolkien detect 660430516ffcf -d "Wed, 27 Mar 2024 14:42:25 GMT" --prefixes "attacker@example.com" --suffixes "attacker@example.com" --timezone "-7"
The token may be based on a timestamp: 1711550545.458703 (prefix: None / suffix: None)
The convertion logic is "uniqid"

To attack this token, use this command to export possible tokens:
$ reset-tolkien sandwich 660430516ffcf -bt 1711550546.485597 -et 1711550546.505134 -o output.txt --token-format="uniqid"
Tokens have been exported in "output.txt"

Encoding and hash function supported
The tool recursively tests different token formats:

base32
base64
urlencode
hexint
hexstr: ASCII integer encoding
uniqid: the PHP function uniqid previously studied
uuidv1: the format of a time-based UUID Version 1
shortuuid: a popular UUID encoding function
mongodb_objectid: the Mongo DB data format studied above
datetime: the encoding of a date from a custom date format
datetimeRFC2822: encoding a date using the format from the RFC2822 standard

The tool also manages the most popular hash functions:

md5
sha1
sha224
sha256
sha384
sha512
sha3_224
sha3_256
sha3_384
sha3_512
blake_256
blake_512

Help

Reset Tolkien can be used to find out whether a provided token is based on a
timestamp, from a timestamp corresponding to the period in which it was
generated.

VI.4 - Default tests
By default, the tool is configured to detect this type of time-based token generation:
function getToken($level, $email)
{
switch ($level) {
case 1:
return uniqid();
case 2:
return hash(time());
case 3:
return hash(uniqid());
case 4:
return hash(uniqid() . $email);
case 5:
return hash(date(DATE_RFC2822));
case 6:
return hash($email . uniqid() . $email);
case 7:
return uuid1("Test");
}
}

Customised test configuration
In addition, the tool allows you to define your own token formats before applying a hash function via a TimestampHashFormat object. For example, to test whether the token is generated using this token generation function:
# Generate a formatted token
def generate_token():
import datetime
import hashlib

t = datetime.datetime.utcnow().timestamp()
token = hashlib.md5(uniqid(t).encode()).hexdigest()
return token

This can be defined in the YAML configuration file:
float-uniqid:
description: "Uniqid timestamp"
level: 2
timestamp_type: float
formats:
- uniqid

The "Todo" list
Of course, as with any tool, there is always the possibility of adding new features to complement it.
Among the points that would be very useful:

Format management via Abstract syntax tree: the tool currently only manages formats applied in a linear way, so a simple format like md5(timestamp()+1) won't be supported. By configuring formats as a tree, this type of format can be supported by the tool.
Better application of user-specific information: when detecting a token format, it is possible to define user-specific information as prefixes or suffixes of the token generation date. Many other configurations could be possible.
Management of other dynamic variables: the tool detects formats and allows attacks based on the only variable supported: time. However, some formats can have several variables that evolve.
Addition of new supported formats: the tool only supports the time-based functions found during my research, but many other formats should still exist and could also be supported by the tool.
