Reorganises shellcode placement to route around Defender's 2022-era
MpFilter transaction-aware scanning and the Behavior:Win32/Meterpreter.gen
/ Trojan:Win32/SuspGolang.AM signatures that previously caught every run.
Loader changes
- 4-tier placement (main.c): ModuleStomp -> GhostlyHollow -> PhantomDllHollow
-> NtAllocate. ModuleStomp now primary because in-memory .text writes
bypass MpFilter entirely; transaction-based paths are last-resort.
- GhostHollow.c (new): FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE + SEC_IMAGE placement.
Section keeps the kernel FILE_OBJECT alive while the disk file is unlinked
on handle close, so Defender's transactionfile:_{GUID} telemetry path never
fires. Maldev Academy 2024 technique.
- Phantom.c: shellcode is now XOR-encrypted against a per-build
INIT_PLACEMENT_XOR_KEY before being written to the transacted file. After
NtMapViewOfSection succeeds, the mapped .text is flipped RX->RW, decrypted
in place, then flipped back. Defender's MpFilter sees garbage in the
in-flight transactional view.
- Stomper.c: PickSacrificialDll picks from a 4-entry per-build allowlist
(xpsservices / mfreadwrite / dbgcore / mfsensorgroup) with RDTSC-seeded
Fisher-Yates rotation. Avoids previous msftedit.dll / aadauthhelper.dll /
amd_comgr.dll choices that are on public Elastic/MDE stomp-target rules.
- Gadgets.c: call-gadget pool extended with dbgcore.dll, dbghelp.dll,
dsdmo.dll. Almond Offensive Security 2025-11 showed Elastic 9.x callstack
signatures expect gadget origins primarily in ntdll/kernel32/kernelbase;
these "weird" sources break return-address baselines.
- Evasion.c: AntiEmulation prologue runs RDTSC determinism check, CPUID
0x40000000 hypervisor brand check, and API hammering to exhaust mpengine's
~200ms wall-clock budget. Bails before any allocation/decryption if running
inside the Defender emulator. Called from main.c after AntiAnalysis.
- WinApi.c: XorBufferInPlace helper for Phantom/Ghost write-encryption.
- Common.h: new typedef forwards + INIT_PLACEMENT_XOR_KEY length macro.
- build.bat: GhostHollow.c added to both EXE and DLL CFILES.
- Encrypt.py: emits INIT_PLACEMENT_XOR_KEY (16 random bytes per build) and
the four XSTR_STOMP_DLL_1..4 allowlist entries; XSTR_DELETE_FILE_A added
for GhostHollow.
Verified
- Defender Get-MpThreatDetection: msfvenom calc / Adaptix beacon / Sliver
19MB Go implant all run with delta = 0 alerts.
- Sliver session 9cbaff18 checked in via the new path.
- calc demo: WUAssistant-calc-v2.exe pops calc with no Defender telemetry
(previous version triggered Behavior:Win32/Meterpreter.gen).
Skipped (separate effort)
- Voidmaw streaming decryption (~400 lines, conflicts with existing patchless
AMSI VEH dispatcher).
- Waiting Thread Hijacking, DllNotif Injection, EDR-Freeze (Priority 3 —
architectural rewrites).
Tests
- tests/c2-integration/ contains the Docker C2 infrastructure (Sliver +
AdaptixC2), the per-payload loader test harness, the multi-file HTTPS
payload server, and the documented demo battery. Binaries / shellcodes /
certs are gitignored; only source/scripts/docs ship.
- tests/c2-integration/REPORT.md documents the 8-variant test matrix and
the 7 issues encountered during integration.
