  Ciscox notes (Anthony C. Zboralski Gaius)
  
  Research is being done on a useless Cisco 1600 with 4 megs of flash running IOS 11.1.
  
  Recently after writting my first cisco warez (tunnelx), I told myself hey we need to find a way to inject arbitrary code, poke and peek at the memory
  on a cisco, hide interfaces, route-maps, Access-lists.
  
  Let's look around:

  now you can even dump the memory with 'show memory'. Good but there isn't a write memory command, too bad. Maybe not...
  
  I started looking for undocumented and hidden commands and found quite a bunch of them.
  
  Among all the stupid hidden command, the best candidate for taking full control of the cisco is 'gdb'.
  
  The IOS gdb command offers three subcommands:
  
  gdb
  debug  PID
  examine PID
  kernel
  
  the kernel subcommand works only on the console.
  However 'examine' and 'debug' works perfectly; the debug subcommand is a bit tricky to use though.
  
  scep#gdb debug 27
  
  
  oops..
  
  Ok grab a copy of gdb-4.18 and try to compile a version for your cisco.
  mkdir m68k-cisco
  ../configure --target m68k-cisco
  make
  
  if you have a mips based cisco, just s/m68k/mips64/ the above 4 lines.
  
  now type make install and you should have a m68-cisco-gdb binary in your path.
  
  fire# m68k-cisco-gdb

  This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-Linux-gnu --target=m68k-cisco".
  (cisco-68k-gdb)
  
  my cisco 1600 is connected to /dev/ttyS0,
  scep>en
  PassWord:
  scep#gdb debug 18
  
  scep#
  
  As you can see it bails out if you hit return. while examine works it seems.
  
  scep#gdb examine 18
  
  
  now the console seems locked.
  go back to our gdb-4.18 source tree and check out gdb/remote.c which contains a nice documentation of the gdb remote communication protocol.
  added.
  
  IOS gdbserver implementation
  Don't get too excited, IOS gdbserver supports only a limited subset of those commands. I'll grab a binary of IOS 12 and check if new commands were added.
  I didn't have to test every command by hand.. let's just say I have reliable sources and I know that in IOS 11.2-8 (hum hum), the following commands are supported:
  
  Request    Packet
  
  read registers  g
  write regs    GXX..XX    Each byte of register data
  is described by two hex digits.
  Registers are in the internal order
  for GDB, and the bytes in a register
  are in the same order the machine uses.
  read mem    mAA..AA,LLLL  AA..AA is address, LLLL is length.
  write mem    MAA..AA,LLLL:XX..XX
  AA..AA is address,
  LLLL is number of bytes,
  XX..XX is data
  continue    cAA.AA    AA..AA is address to resume
  IF AA..AA is omitted
  resume at same address.
  step      sAA..AA    AA..AA is address to resume
  If AA..AA is omitted,
  resume at same address.
  
  kill request    k
  last signal    ?    Reply the current reason for stopping.
  This is the same reply as is generated
  for step or cont : SAA where AA is the
  signal number.
  toggle debug    d    toggle debug flag (see 386 & 68k stubs)
  
  All other commands will be ignored... too bad 'search' isn't implemented.
  
  The protocol is simple, quoting remote.c comments:
  
  A debug packet whose contents are <data> is encapsulated for transmission in the form.
  $ <data> # CSUM1 CSUM2
  
  <data> must be ASCII alphanumeric and cannot include characters
  '$' or '#'. If <data> starts with two characters followed by
  ':', then the existing stubs interpret this as a sequence number.
  
  CSUM1 and CSUM2 are ascii hex representation of an 8-bit checksum of <data>, the most significant nibble is sent first.
  the hex digits 0-9,a-f are used.
  
  Before trying to make gdb work i wrote a little program that computed the right checksum:
  
  #include <stdio.h>
  unsigned char const hexchars[] = "0123456789abcdef";
  char tohexchar (unsigned char c)
  {
  c &= 0x0f;
  return(hexchars[c]);
  }
  
  int main(int argc, char **argv)
  {
  unsigned char checksum;
  int count;
  char *command;
  char ch;
  if (argc <= 1)
  exit(1);
  printf("gdb protocol command: ");
  command = argv[1];
  putchar ('$');
  checksum = count = 0;
  while ((ch = command[count]))
  {
  putchar(ch);
  checksum += ch;
  count++;
  }
  putchar('#');
  putchar(tohexchar(checksum >> 4));
  putchar(tohexchar(checksum));
  putchar(' ');
  }
  
  ./gdbproto g
  gdb protocol command: $g#67
  
  now paste that on the prompt and you get register output:
