RustPotato - A Rust implementation of GodPotato — abusing SeImp

项目说明

RustPotato

RustPotato is a Rust-based implementation of GodPotato, a pri escalation tool that abuses DCOM and RPC to le SeImpersonatePri and gain NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM pri on Windows systems.

Key Features

TCP-based Reverse Shell:

RustPotato features a TCP-based reverse shell based on Rustic64Shell. It le Winsock APIs for network communication and indirect NT APIs for pipe-based I/O redirection, enabling command execution through cmd or powershell.

Indirect NTAPI:

RustPotato le indirect NTAPI calls for operations, including token handling and manipulation.

O

Below is an o of its execution flow, highlighting key operations at each step:

1. Initialize and Hook RPC Context

1. Locate RPC_SER Structure:
The tool scans the memory of combase.dll to find the RPC_SER structure, a critical component for managing RPC communications through the OXID Resolver.

2. Hook RPC Dispatch Table:
RustPotato replaces the first entry in the RPC_DISPATCH_TABLE with a custom function pointer, enabling interception and manipulation of specific RPC calls.

2. Start Named Pipe Server and Trigger RPCSS

The named pipe ser a central role in impersonation and pri escalation:

Create Named Pipe:

A named pipe (e.g., \\.\pipe\RustPotato) is created with unrestricted access, serving as the endpoint for client connections.

Unmarshal COM Object:

RustPotato crafts and unmarshals a COM object, compelling RPCSS to establish a connection with the named pipe.

Trigger RPCSS:

The unmarshalled object invokes RPC calls that traverse the hooked dispatch table, allowing RustPotato to intercept and manipulate the interactions.

Impersonate Client:

When RPCSS connects to the named pipe, RustPotato impersonates the client using ImpersonateNamedPipeClient to assume its security context.

Retrie Token:

During impersonation, RustPotato locates and duplicates a token associated with the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account.

3. Execute Command or Establish Reverse Shell

Execute a Command:

RustPotato uses the duplicated token to execute a specified command, le CreateProcessWithTokenW.

Establish a Reverse Shell:

With reverse shell options (-h and -p), RustPotato connects to a listener and executes commands through cmd or powershell.

4. Restore State and Cleanup

Restore RPC Dispatch Table:

Removes the custom function pointer from the RPC_DISPATCH_TABLE and restores the original state in combase.dll.

Terminate Pipe Server:

Stops the named pipe server, releasing all associated resources and handles.

Usage

RustPotato provides the following features:

: Enables detailed logging during execution.

Build Options

Build with logging:

> [!NOTE]
> RustPotato requires Rust nightly 1.86 and supports only x86_64 targets (MSVC or GNU).
