Polymorphic Shellcode x86 - SLAE Assignment 0x6

Before we start , I would like to bring your attention to this SLAE course from securitytube which will help you learn Shellcoding - http://www.securitytube-training.com/online-courses/securitytube-linux-assembly-expert/

AGENDA : 
1. Introduction to Polymorphic Shellcode
2. Create a new version (polymorphic) of an existing shellcode taken from www.shell-storm.org
3. Newer version of shellcode should not be more than 150% of the original code

 1. Introduction to Polymorphic Shellcode:

We replace assembly instructions with other equivalent assembly instructions in order to defeat signature based systems and the functionality of the shellcode remains intact.
For example, the following assembly code snippet should give you an idea of what this means:
xor eax,eax
xor edx,edx

This simply empty/zeroout eax and edx . Exactly the same functionality could be achieved by using:
sub eax,eax
cdq

2. Create a new version (polymorphic) of an existing shellcode taken from www.shell-storm.org :

We will see polymorphic version of three shellcodes obtained from shellstorm -
a) http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-212.php - Kill all process
b) http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-752.php - execve ("/bin/sh")
c) http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-571.php - /bin/cat /etc//passwd

[x] Shellcode 1 : Kill all process
Shellstorm - http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-212.php
The shellcode was downloaded from shellstorm and then tweaking of instructions are done inorder to achieve polymorphic shellcode.

Original Version from Shellstorm -

Polymorphic Version -

[x] Shellcode 2 : execve ("/bin/sh")
Shellstorm - http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-752.php
The shellcode was downloaded from shellstorm and then tweaking of instructions are done inorder to achieve polymorphic shellcode.

Original Version from Shellstorm -
Polymorphic Version -

[x] Shellcode 3 : set system time to 0 and exit
Shellstorm -  http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-571.php
The shellcode was downloaded from shellstorm and then tweaking of instructions are done inorder to achieve polymorphic shellcode.

Original Version from Shellstorm -

Review of Pentester Academy - Attacking and Defending Active Directory Lab

Few months ago I didn't know what Active Directory is, and why should I care about it and never heard about ACL abuse and all. Although I had attended a BPAD (Breaking and Pwning Active Directory) training which was provided by Nullcon but I was not confident enough to go for this course exam, since my day-today activity involves VAPT stuffs related to Web/Network/Mobile and sometimes basic malware analysis (very basic one :p).  I started doing offshore lab and took help from some friends in understanding few Active Directory concepts. I did many silly mistakes during the lab and learned a lot. Meanwhile I registered for Active Directory Lab Course and got it in a discounted offer for first 50 students of about 11k INR  ( 1 mont lab access) :). Before wasting time any further let's dive into the review.

Brute Force Basic Authentication - PSP Assignment 0x1

Before we start I would like to bring your attention to this PSP course from Pentester Academy   - https://www.pentesteracademy.com/course?id=21 . The course is focused on Powershell scripting which can be used in pentesting activities. AGENDA  : 1. Introduction to Powershell 2. Basic Authentication lab setup 3. Brute-force Basic Authentication using Powershell Script -   - cmdlet   - IP,Port and word-list should be easily configurable 1.  Introduction to Powershell  -  Microsoft says- PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language built on .NET. PowerShell helps system administrators and power-users rapidly automate tasks that manage operating systems (Linux, macOS, and Windows) and processes. PowerShell commands let you manage computers from the command line. PowerShell providers let you access data stores, such as the registry and certificate store, as easily as you access the file system. PowerShell includes a rich expression parser and a fu
