Custom Encoder x86 - SLAE Assignment 0x4

Before we start , I would like to bring your attention to this SLAE course from securitytube which will help you learn Shellcoding - http://www.securitytube-training.com/online-courses/securitytube-linux-assembly-expert/

AGENDA : 
1. Introduction to Insertion Encoder
2. Create a custom encoding scheme similar to the “Insertion Encoder” 
3. Proof of concept using the execve-stack as the shellcode to encode 

1. Introduction to Encoding:
Encoding is the process of converting data from one form to another.
Insertion encoding is used to obfuscate shellcode instructions by adding some extra instructions .This reduces the detection of shellcode.

2. Create a custom encoding scheme similar to the “Insertion Encoder” :

I have written a python encoder which takes every byte of shellcode and do a XOR operation . After the XOR encoding we keep on inserting random bytes in between shellcode. 

3. Proof of Concept using execve-stack as the shellcode to encode :

The address of the shellcode is saved in esi register by using jmp call pop technique .The decoding process involves removal of random bytes and then XORing with same key value to obtain the actual decoded shellcode. 

After extracting the opcodes from object file we can check the shellcode through C file as shown below -

Review of Pentester Academy - Attacking and Defending Active Directory Lab

Few months ago I didn't know what Active Directory is, and why should I care about it and never heard about ACL abuse and all. Although I had attended a BPAD (Breaking and Pwning Active Directory) training which was provided by Nullcon but I was not confident enough to go for this course exam, since my day-today activity involves VAPT stuffs related to Web/Network/Mobile and sometimes basic malware analysis (very basic one :p).  I started doing offshore lab and took help from some friends in understanding few Active Directory concepts. I did many silly mistakes during the lab and learned a lot. Meanwhile I registered for Active Directory Lab Course and got it in a discounted offer for first 50 students of about 11k INR  ( 1 mont lab access) :). Before wasting time any further let's dive into the review.

Hacking Thick Clients – Authorization Bypass

Hello Readers, This post will be focused on setting up a vulnerable thick client application and finding vulnerabilities. The blog post is an unofficial part of the on going series of post by NetSPI. NetSPI has released a vulnerable thick client app called BetaFast which has two versions - BetaBank and BetaFast based on 2-tier and 3-tier architecture respectively. The app is coded by Austin Altmann  and he is writing the walk-through series. Note: At the time of writing this blog, the walk-through/write-up for authorization bypass vulnerability was yet to be published by NetSPI and therefore I decided to create this blog post. All the credit for developing and maintaining this app goes to Austin and NetSPI team. You can find some of the cool write-ups here . Let's start. Setting up Betafast - 1. Download the files from github -  https://github.com/NetSPI/BetaFast  . 2. Extract and open the...

Brute Force Basic Authentication - PSP Assignment 0x1

Before we start I would like to bring your attention to this PSP course from Pentester Academy   - https://www.pentesteracademy.com/course?id=21 . The course is focused on Powershell scripting which can be used in pentesting activities. AGENDA  : 1. Introduction to Powershell 2. Basic Authentication lab setup 3. Brute-force Basic Authentication using Powershell Script -   - cmdlet   - IP,Port and word-list should be easily configurable 1.  Introduction to Powershell  -  Microsoft says- PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language built on .NET. PowerShell helps system administrators and power-users rapidly automate tasks that manage operating systems (Linux, macOS, and Windows) and processes. PowerShell commands let you manage computers from the command line. PowerShell providers let you access data stores, such as the registry and certificate store, as easily as you access the file system. PowerShell inc...
