PELoader - PE loader with various shellcode injection techniq

项目说明

PELoader

Following techniques were implemented:

Credits: most of my work was based on 's PoC scripts.

Testing

PELoader was tested on Windows 10 with Cortex XDR / SentinalOne / Windows Defender / CrowdStrike, and Windows Defender / CrowdStrike detected Transacted Hollowing techniques. Characteristics of each techniques were tested with a memory scanner tool Moneta from -orr.

Module Stomping (LoadLibrary)

Call LoadLibrary to load a legitimate DLL. O DLL with payload

Pros

!cdll

Module Stomping (NtMap)

Call NtCreateSection to create file mapping object (PAGE_READONLY) for a legitimate DLL, and call NtMap to map it to current process. O the DLL with payload.

Pros

Cons

!mdll

reference to 's PoC.

Transacted Hollowing

A hybrid between Process Hollowing and Process Doppelgänging. Create “in” file within the NTFS transaction and write payload into the file. Map section to current process and execute it.

Pros

Cons

!txf

Ghostly Hollowing

A hybrid between Process Hollowing and Process Ghosting. Create a file with delete pending state and write payload into the file. Map section to current process and execute it.

Pros

Cron

!ghostreference to 's PoC.

NtMap (RWX-RW-RX)

Call NtCreateSection to create memory section (RWX). Call NtMap map a view to current process (RWX). Call to change protection to RW. Copy shellcode to mapped section. Change protection to RX and execute it.

Pros

Cons

!map

NtAllocate (RW-RX)

Call NtAllocate to allocate memory (RW). Copy shellcode to memory. Change protection to RX and execute it.

Pros

Cons

!priv

Usage

AES Encrypt Payload

Convert PE file to shellcode with pe_to_shellcode and encrypted with PELoader

PE Execution

Set argument to en "hagrid" and execute PELoader
