SLAE – Assignment #6: Polymorphic Shellcode
Assignment #6: Polymorphic Shellcode
Sixth SLAE’s assignment requires to create three different (polymorphic) shellcodes version starting from published Shell Storm's examples. I've decided to take this three in exam: http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-752.php - linux/x86 execve ("/bin/sh") - 21 bytes http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-624.php - linux/x86 setuid(0) + chmod("/etc/shadow",0666) - 37 bytes http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-231.php - linux/x86 open cd-rom loop (follows "/dev/cdrom" symlink) - 39 bytes As always, all the code is also available on GitHub. Stay updated, join...

SLAE – Assignment #5: Metasploit Shellcode Analysis
Assignment #5: Metasploit Shellcode Analysis
Fifth SLAE’s assignment requires to dissect and analyse three different Linux x86 Metasploit Payload. Metasploit currently has 35 different payloads but almost half of it are Meterpreter version, thus meaning staged payloads. I’ve then decided to skip meterpreter payloads as they involve multiple stages and higher complexity that will break libemu graph generation (which I find very useful to better explain shellcode’s operations). In this blog we are going to analyse the following shellcodes: linux/x86/shell_find_tag linux/x86/shell_find_port linux/x86/shell/bind_nonx_tcp As always,...

SLAE – Assignment #4: Custom shellcode encoder
Assignment #4: Custom Shellcode Encoder
As the 4th SLAE’s assignment I was required to build a custom shellcode encoder for the execve payload, which I did, here how. Stay updated, join VoidSec's Telegram Channel: https://t.me/voidsec_updatesEncoder Implementations
I’ve decided to not relay on XORing functionalities as most antivirus solutions are now well aware of this encoding schema, the same reason for which I’ve skipped ROT13 and other “rotating” encoding. I thought of using some multiple weird shifting schema but that...

SLAE – Assignment #3: Egghunter
Assignment #3: Egghunter
This time the assignment was very interesting, here the requirements: study an egg hunting shellcode and create a working demo, it should be configurable for different payloads. As many before me, I’ve started my research journey with Skape’s papers: “Searching Process Virtual Address Space”. I was honestly amazed by the paper content, it’s not only very well written and explained but it ‘s mind-blowing. Understanding why and how egg hunter shellcode should be crafted in such tailored way...

SLAE – Assignment #2: Reverse TCP Shell
Assignment #2: Reverse TCP Shell
Create a shell_reverse_tcp shellcode that connects back to an IP address, on a specific a port and execute a shell. The IP address and port number should be easy configurable. Again, instead of going for the path of writing a C TCP reverse shell from scratch, I decided to generate a raw Metasploit payload and analyze it with libemu.Analyzing the Shellcode
All the code is also available on GitHub. This time the analysis will be a lot shorter...
