3.11.0

#1044 Enhancements to ROP

#869 Added several fields to the process class (uid, gid, suid, sgid) which are recorded at execution time, based on the file permissions
#868 Changed the way that ssh.process() works internally, and it now returns a more specialized class, ssh_process.
- Added ssh_process.corefile for fetching remote corefiles
- Added ssh_process.ELF for getting an ELF of the remote executable
- The uid, gid, and suid, and sgid which are recorded at execution time, based on the file permissions
#865 Fixes ELF.read to support contiguous memory reads across non-contiguous file-backed segments

#700 Added missing MIPS shellcode documentation to readthedocs, and enabled unit tests
#701 Command line tools refactored to have a common pwn entry point.
- Added an option to not install the traditional asm, disasm, checksec, etc scripts

#717 sh_string was rewritten to emit more compact and compatible strings
- This was achieved by embedding single-quoted non-printable literals
- Much more testing was added
- Emitted strings are no longer copy-paste compatible, but work fine with e.g. tubes module and the default subprocess module
#709 The adb module now directly talks to the adb server process via a new module, adb.protocol
- Removes the need to shell out to adb
- Avoids version-compatibility issues with adb server vs. client
#703 Added new methods to adb
- install - Installs an APK
- uninstall - Uninstalls a package
- packages - Lists installed packages
4893819 Modified shellcraft.sh on all platforms to provide argv[0] and set argc==1
- This is needed for systems which have Busybox or other minimal shell for /bin/sh which does not behave well with argc==0 or argv[0]==NULL.

3.0.2

Cherry-pick #695, as this was a regression-fix.
Added a fix for the update checker, as it would suggest prereleases as updates to stable releases.
Various documentation fixes.

3.0.1

A small bugfix release. There were a lot of references to the master-branch, however after 3.0.0 we use the names stable, beta and dev for our branches.

3.0.0

This was a large release (1305 commits since 2.2.0) with a lot of bugfixes and changes. The Binjitsu project, a fork of Pwntools, was merged back into Pwntools. As such, its features are now available here.

As always, the best source of information on specific features is the comprehensive docs at https://pwntools.readthedocs.org.

This list of changes is non-complete, but covers all of the significant changes which were appropriately documented.

Android

Android support via a new adb module, context.device, context.adb_host, and context.adb_port.

Assembly and Shellcode

Assembly module enhancements for making ELF modules from assembly or pre-assembled shellcode. See asm.make_elf and asm.make_elf_from_assembly.
asm and shellcraft command-line tools support flags for the new shellcode encoders
asm and shellcraft command-line tools support --debug flag for automatically launching GDB on the result
Added MIPS, PowerPC, and AArch64 support to the shellcraft module
Added Cyber Grand Challenge (CGC) support to the shellcraft module
Added syscall wrappers for every Linux syscall for all supported architectures to the shellcraft module
- e.g. shellcraft.<arch>.gettimeofday
(e.g. shellcraft.i386.linux.)
Added in-memory ELF loaders for most supported architectures
- Only supports statically-linked binaries
- shellcraft.<arch>.linux.loader

Context Module

Added context.aslr which controls ASLR on launched processes. This works with both process() and ssh.process(), and can be specified per-process with the aslr= keyword argument.
Added context.binary which automatically sets all context variables from an ELF file.
Added context.device, context.adb, context.adb_port, and context.adb_host for connecting to Android devices.
Added context.kernel setting for SigReturn-Oriented-Programming (SROP).
Added context.log_file setting for sending logs to a file. This can be set with the LOG_FILE magic command-line option.
Added context.noptrace setting for disabling actions which require ptrace support. This is useful for turning all gdb.debug and gdb.attach options into no-ops, and can be set via the NOPTRACE magic command-line option.
Added context.proxy which hooks all connections and sends them to a SOCKS4/SOCKS5. This can be set via the PROXY magic command-line option.
Added context.randomize to control randomization of settings like XOR keys and register ordering (default off).
Added context.terminal for setting how to launch commands in a new terminal.

DynELF and MemLeak Module

Added a DynELF().libc property which attempt to find the remote libc and download the ELF from LibcDB.
Added a DynELF().stack property which leaks the __environ pointer from libc, making it easy to leak stack addresses.
Added MemLeak.String and MemLeak.NoNewlines and other related helpers for handling special leakers which cannot e.g. handle newlines in the leaked addresses and which leak a C string (e.g. auto-append a '\x00').
Enhancements for leaking speed via MemLeak.compare to avoid leaking an entire field if we can tell from a partial leak that it does not match what we are searching for.

Encoders Module

Added a pwnlib.encoders module for assembled-shellcode encoders/decoders
Includes position-independent basic XOR encoders
Includes position-independent delta encoders
Includes non-position-independent alphanumeric encoders for Intel
Includes position-independent alphanumeric encoders for ARM/Thumb

ELF Module

Added a Core object which can parse core-files, in order to extract / search for memory contents, and extract register states (e.g. Core('./corefile').eax).

Format Strings

Added a basic fmtstr module for assisting with Format String exploitation

GDB Module

Added support for debugging Android devices when context.os=='android'
Added helpers for debugging shellcode snippets with gdb.debug_assembly() and gdb.debug_shellcode()

ROP Module

Added support for SigReturn via pwnlib.rop.srop
- Occurs automatically when syscalls are invoked and a function cannot be found
- SigReturn frames can be constructed manually with SigreturnFrame() objects
Added functional doctests for ROP and SROP

Tubes Process Module

process() has many new options, check out the documentation
- aslr controls ASLR
- setuid can disable the effect of setuid, allowing core dumps (useful for extracting crash state via the new Core() object)
- TTY echo and control characters can be enabled via raw argument
stdout and stderr are now PTYs by default
- stdin can be set to a PTY also via setting stdin=process.PTY

Tubes SSH Module

Massive enhancements all over
ssh objects now have a ssh.process() method which avoids the need to handle shell expansion via the old ssh.run() method
Files are downloaded via SFTP if available
New download and upload methods auto-detect whether the target is a file or directory and acts accordingly
Added listen() method alias for listen_remote()
Added remote() method alias for connect_remote()

Utilities

Added fit() method to combine the functionality of flat() with the functionality of cyclic()
Added negative() method to negate the value of an integer via two's complement, with respect to the current integer size (context.bytes).
Added xor_key() method to generate an XOR key which avoids undesirable bytes over a given input.
Added a multi-threaded bruteforce() implementation, mbruteforce().
Added dealarm_shell() helper to remove the effects of alarm() after you've popped a shell.
