Student ID: SLAE-858
Exercise
- Take up at least 3 shellcode sambles created using Msfpayload for linux/x86
- Use GDB/Ndisasm/Libemu to dissect the functionality of the shellcode
- Present your analysis
Solution
I chose the shellcodes:- linux/x86/chmod - Runs chmod on specified file with specified mode
- linux/x86/read_file - Read up to 4096 bytes from the local file system and write it back out to the specified file descriptor
- linux/x86/exec - Execute an arbitrary command
linux/x86/chmod
For the first example, we added a file named "slae.txt" and our shellcode generated with metasploit would change the file permissions (0666).
root@HackingLab:/opt/metasploit-framework# ./msfvenom -p linux/x86/chmod -a x86 FILE=slae.txt -o /home/hiro/SLAE/SLAE/EXAMEN/GitHub/SLAE/Assignment5/msf-chmod-shellcode
No platform was selected, choosing Msf::Module::Platform::Linux from the payload
No encoder or badchars specified, outputting raw payload
Payload size: 33 bytes
Saved as: /home/hiro/SLAE/SLAE/EXAMEN/GitHub/SLAE/Assignment5/msf-chmod-shellcode
We dissasemble the shellcode with ndisasm and look the code:
hiro@HackingLab:~/SLAE/SLAE/EXAMEN/GitHub/SLAE/Assignment5$ cat msf-chmod-shellcode | ndisasm -u -
00000000 99 cdq
00000001 6A0F push byte +0xf
00000003 58 pop eax
00000004 52 push edx
00000005 E809000000 call dword 0x13
0000000A 736C jnc 0x78
0000000C 61 popad
0000000D 652E7478 cs jz 0x89
00000011 7400 jz 0x13
00000013 5B pop ebx
00000014 68B6010000 push dword 0x1b6
00000019 59 pop ecx
0000001A CD80 int 0x80
0000001C 6A01 push byte +0x1
0000001E 58 pop eax
0000001F CD80 int 0x80
First, we analyze the shellcode with libemu to show which are the syscalls that the shellcode is called. For it, we looked the eax register before the int 0x80 instruction. Look the highlight (0x0f - chmod)

Unfortunately, libemu doesn't recognize these syscalls, so, any graphic or source code in C language is shown.
Our last step, to undertstand this shellcode, it is debug the program, using gdb (and peda).
For this purpose, we generate the shellcode again, but this time, the output will be in C language, before, I am going to compile it.

Resume of how the shellcode works
The chmod syscall needs the following arguments:
int chmod(const char *pathname, mode_t mode);
so, eax register will be the syscall, 0xf, the pathname will be in ebx and the mode in ecx register.
It is very simple to understand shellcode.
linux/x86/read_file
First, we generate the shellcode with the command:
root@HackingLab:/opt/metasploit-framework# ./msfvenom -p linux/x86/read_file -a x86 PATH=/etc/passwd -o /home/hiro/SLAE/SLAE/EXAMEN/GitHub/SLAE/Assignment5/msf-read_file-shellcode

We can see the syscalls:
0x5 - sys_open Open the file
0x3 - sys_read Read the file
0x4 - sys_write Used for write
Very easy to understand reading the assembly code. To execute, we compile the shellcode and debug it. Generate the shellcode in C format.

We dissasemble the shellcode with ndisasm.
hiro@HackingLab:~/SLAE/SLAE/EXAMEN/GitHub/SLAE/Assignment5$ cat msf-exec | ndisasm -u -
00000000 6A0B push byte +0xb

00000025 80 db 0x80
We know the "/bin/sh" code is in
0000000B 682F736800 push dword 0x68732f
00000010 682F62696E push dword 0x6e69622f
I thought that ndisasm did not dissasemble correctly the shellcode. So I compiled and debugged it with gdb.
hiro@HackingLab:~/SLAE/SLAE/EXAMEN/GitHub/SLAE/Assignment5$ gcc -fno-stack-protector -z execstack msf-exec.c -o msf-exec
hiro@HackingLab:~/SLAE/SLAE/EXAMEN/GitHub/SLAE/Assignment5$ gdb -q ./msf-exec
Reading symbols from ./msf-exec...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
gdb-peda$ b *&code
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8049760
gdb-peda$ r
....
I saw that the call dword 0x20 instruction is executed, the arguments are:
arg[0]: 0x0
arg[1]: 0x6e69622f ('/bin')
arg[2]: 0x68732f ('/sh')
arg[3]: 0x632d ('-c')
arg[4]: 0x84690000
And it call to code+32
0x804977f : add BYTE PTR [edi+0x53],dl
0x8049782 : mov ecx,esp
=> 0x8049784 : int 0x80

0x8049788: add BYTE PTR [eax],al
0x804978a: add BYTE PTR [eax],al

[------------------------------------stack-------------------------------------]
0000| 0xbffff32e --> 0xbffff33e ("/bin/sh")
0004| 0xbffff332 --> 0xbffff346 --> 0x632d ('-c')
0008| 0xbffff336 --> 0x804977d --> 0x57006469 ('id')
The problem with ndisasm is that the line 0000001D is not dissasembled correctly.
0000001D 696400575389E1CD imul esp,[eax+eax+0x57],dword 0xcde18953
So, when we debugged the program, we understood how it works. When the syscall sys_execve (0xb) is called, the registers are:
EAX: 0xb ('\x0b')
EBX: 0xbffff33e ("/bin/sh")
ECX: 0xbffff32e --> 0xbffff33e ("/bin/sh")
EDX: 0x0
... and the stack:
0000| 0xbffff32e --> 0xbffff33e ("/bin/sh")
0004| 0xbffff332 --> 0xbffff346 --> 0x632d ('-c')
0008| 0xbffff336 --> 0x804977d --> 0x57006469 ('id')
It works...
