Aegis encryption and decryption tutorial (1) Characters available for PHP variables_PHP tutorial

Jul 13, 2016 am 10:29 AM

Let’s talk about the naming rules of PHP variables first. Baidu will catch up with them:
(1) PHP variable names are case-sensitive;
(2) Variable names must start with the dollar sign $;
(3) The variable name can start with an underscore;
(4) The variable name cannot start with a numeric character.

In fact, the naming convention that is similar to all programming is:
1. The first character of a variable is preferably a letter or _, and cannot start with a number
2. The second character allows numbers, letters, and _

Okay, that’s pretty much it, but that’s not the point.
Today we talk about the available characters of PHP variables, not just numbers, letters, _ oh.

A few days ago, a friend on QQ sent me a shell. It was encrypted and garbled throughout. However, there was a comment on it called "Aegis Encryption". It looked so domineering.
It uses some relatively unfamiliar knowledge points, the most obvious of which is variable names, so today we will start with variables.

Of course, I didn’t find any authoritative material on the Internet that strongly explains the characters available in PHP variable names, so I could only test it myself. (My English is not good, so I can’t Google to find any favorable evidence)
Let’s first look at the method I used. (If you have a better method, please share it.)

Copy code The code is as follows:

if ($_POST) {
$chr = chr($_POST['chr']);
eval('$'.$chr."=1;");
echo 'ok';
exit;
}
?>



 
test



<script><br> for(var i = 0x00; i <= 0xFF; i++) { // 0x00 - 0xFF 255 characters<br>                                                                                                                                                                                   $. <br>     data === 'ok' && console.log( "\x"+(i).toString(16) ); // If only ok is returned, it means it can be executed normally, otherwise an exception will be thrown <br>   } );<br> }<br> </script>



The code is relatively simple. The PHP part is only responsible for parsing each character as a variable name and whether the execution result will throw an overflow.

For example, the character a will be parsed eval('$a=1;'); This result is definitely no problem, so no exception will be thrown, and the returned result is the ok character.
If the character - then it will be parsed eval('$-=1;'); This is obviously wrong, so it will throw PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '-', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' and ok character.
The following ajax part uses whether the return result is 'ok' to determine whether it is a valid variable name.
Let’s see what the result is after execution:

Copy code The code is as follows:
"x41, x42, x43, x44, x45, x46, x47, x48, x49 , x4a, x4b, x4c, x4d, x4e, x4f, x50, x51, x52, x53, x54, x55, x56, x57, x58, x59, x5a, x5f, x61, x62, x63, x64, x65, x66, x67 , x68, x69, x6a, x6b, x6c, x6d, x6e, x6f, x70, x71, x72, x73, x74, x75, x76, x77, x78, x79, x7a, x7f, x80, x81, x82, x83, x84 , x85, x86, x87, x88, x89, x8a, x8b, x8c, x8d, x8e, x8f, x90, x91, x92, x93, x94, x95, x96, x97, x98, x99, x9a, x9b, x9c, x9d , x9e, x9f, xa0, xa1, xa2, xa3, xa4, xa5, xa6, xa7, xa8, xa9, xaa, xab, xac, xad, xae, xaf, xb0, xb1, xb2, xb3, xb4, xb5, xb6 , xb7, xb8, xb9, xba, xbb, xbc, xbd, xbe, xbf, xc0, xc1, xc2, xc3, xc4, xc5, xc6, xc7, xc8, xc9, xca, xcb, xcc, xcd, xce, xcf , xd0, xd1, xd2, xd3, xd4, xd5, xd6, xd7, xd8, xd9, xda, xdb, xdc, xdd, xde, xdf, xe0, xe1, xe2, xe3, xe4, xe5, xe6, xe7, xe8 , xe9, xea, xeb, xec, xed, xee, xef, xf0, xf1, xf2, xf3, xf4, xf5, xf6, xf7, xf8, xf9, xfa, xfb, xfc, xfd, xfe, xff"

After sorting it out, I found that it is hexadecimal data like this. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you can’t understand it. Take a look at the escaped result:

Copy code The code is as follows:

"A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V , W, X, Y, Z, _, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t , u, v, w, x, y, z, , ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? , ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, , ¡ , ¢, £, ¤, ​​¥, ¦, §, ¨, ©, ª, «, ¬, , ®, ¯, °, ±, ², ³, ´, µ, ¶, ·, ¸, ¹, º, », ¼, ½, ¾, ¿ , À, Á, Â, Ã, Ä , Å, Æ, Ç, È, É, Ê, Ë, Ì, Í, Î, Ï, Ð, Ñ, ​​Ò, Ó, Ô, Õ, Ö, ×, Ø, ​​Ù, Ú, Û, Ü, Ý , Þ, ß, à, á, â, ã, ä, ​​å, æ, ç, è, é, ê, ë, ì, í, î, ï, ð, ñ, ò, ó, ô, õ, ö , ÷, ø, ù, ú, û, ü, ý, þ, ÿ"

In addition to the familiar A-Z_a-z in the front, the messy things in the back can also be used as normal variable names, which is incredible.
In fact, it is just PHP that expands the character range of variable names. On top of A-Z_a-z, it expands the available character range of variables to x7f-xff.
So, the first character range should be [a-zA-Z_x7f-xff]
Then let’s continue to test whether the second character can be the same.
Change eval('$'.$chr."=1;"); in the above php code to eval('$a'.$chr."=1;"); Save the test,

Copy code The code is as follows:

"x9, xa, xd, x20, x30, x31, x32, x33, x34 , x35, x36, x37, x38, x39, x41, x42, x43, x44, x45, x46, x47, x48, x49, x4a, x4b, x4c, x4d, x4e, x4f, x50, x51, x52, x53, x54 , x55, x56, x57, x58, x59, x5a, x5f, x61, x62, x63, x64, x65, x66, x67, x68, x69, x6a, x6b, x6c, x6d, x6e, x6f, x70, x71, x72 , x73, x74, x75, x76, x77, x78, x79, x7a, x7f, x80, x81, x82, x83, x84, x85, x86, x87, x88, x89, x8a, x8b, x8c, x8d, x8e, x8f , x90, x91, x92, x93, x94, x95, x96, x97, x98, x99, x9a, x9b, x9c, x9d, x9e, x9f, xa0, xa1, xa2, xa3, xa4, xa5, xa6, xa7, xa8 , xa9, xaa, xab, xac, xad, xae, xaf, xb0, xb1, xb2, xb3, xb4, xb5, xb6, xb7, xb8, xb9, xba, xbb, xbc, xbd, xbe, xbf, xc0, xc1 , xc2, xc3, xc4, xc5, xc6, xc7, xc8, xc9, xca, xcb, xcc, xcd, xce, xcf, xd0, xd1, xd2, xd3, xd4, xd5, xd6, xd7, xd8, xd9, xda , xdb, xdc, xdd, xde, xdf, xe0, xe1, xe2, xe3, xe4, xe5, xe6, xe7, xe8, xe9, xea, xeb, xec, xed, xee, xef, xf0, xf1, xf2, xf3 , xf4, xf5, xf6, xf7, xf8, xf9, xfa, xfb, xfc, xfd, xfe, xff"

I found that there are a lot more characters in the result. In fact, some of them we need to remove. For example, x20 is actually a space, which is equivalent to eval('$a =1;');. Of course, it can be executed normally.
In addition to spaces, trn are all removed because these are also allowed by PHP syntax: t=x9, n=xa, r=xd, so we have to remove the first 4 data x9, xa, xd, x20 in the result.
The final result is actually just more x30, x31, x32, x33, x34, x35, x36, x37, x38, x39. People who are familiar with ascii may see it at a glance. These are the numbers 0-9
So the first character range should be [wx7f-xff] Those who are not familiar with regular expressions may wonder why it is not [0-9a-zA-Z_x7f-xff]. In fact, w is 0-9a-zA-Z_

Maybe someone will say $$a; ${$a}; What about variables like this?
I think this is out of the scope of variable naming, isn't it?

Okay, I have finished sharing the knowledge about the characters available in PHP variables. If there is anything wrong, please leave a message and I will correct it in time to avoid misleading everyone.

My guess: ascii range 0-127 (x00-x7f), latin1 range 0-255 (x00-xff), maybe PHP has expanded the range to latin1 character set, of course I have not seen the PHP source code, only It can be said to be just a conjecture.

Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Apr 05, 2025 am 12:04 AM

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,

How does session hijacking work and how can you mitigate it in PHP? How does session hijacking work and how can you mitigate it in PHP? Apr 06, 2025 am 12:02 AM

Session hijacking can be achieved through the following steps: 1. Obtain the session ID, 2. Use the session ID, 3. Keep the session active. The methods to prevent session hijacking in PHP include: 1. Use the session_regenerate_id() function to regenerate the session ID, 2. Store session data through the database, 3. Ensure that all session data is transmitted through HTTPS.

What are Enumerations (Enums) in PHP 8.1? What are Enumerations (Enums) in PHP 8.1? Apr 03, 2025 am 12:05 AM

The enumeration function in PHP8.1 enhances the clarity and type safety of the code by defining named constants. 1) Enumerations can be integers, strings or objects, improving code readability and type safety. 2) Enumeration is based on class and supports object-oriented features such as traversal and reflection. 3) Enumeration can be used for comparison and assignment to ensure type safety. 4) Enumeration supports adding methods to implement complex logic. 5) Strict type checking and error handling can avoid common errors. 6) Enumeration reduces magic value and improves maintainability, but pay attention to performance optimization.

Describe the SOLID principles and how they apply to PHP development. Describe the SOLID principles and how they apply to PHP development. Apr 03, 2025 am 12:04 AM

The application of SOLID principle in PHP development includes: 1. Single responsibility principle (SRP): Each class is responsible for only one function. 2. Open and close principle (OCP): Changes are achieved through extension rather than modification. 3. Lisch's Substitution Principle (LSP): Subclasses can replace base classes without affecting program accuracy. 4. Interface isolation principle (ISP): Use fine-grained interfaces to avoid dependencies and unused methods. 5. Dependency inversion principle (DIP): High and low-level modules rely on abstraction and are implemented through dependency injection.
