Module: Rex::Payloads::Win32::Kernel::Stager

Defined in:
lib/rex/payloads/win32/kernel/stager.rb

Overview

Stagers are responsible for reading in another payload and executing it. The reading in of the payload may actually be as simple as copying it to another location. The executing of it may be done either directly or indirectly.

Class Method Details

.stager_sysenter_hook(opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Works on Vista, Server 2008 and 7.

Full assembly source at: /msf3/external/source/shellcode/windows/x86/src/kernel/stager_sysenter_hook.asm

This payload works as follows:

  • Our sysenter handler and ring3 stagers are copied over to safe location.

  • The SYSENTER_EIP_MSR is patched to point to our sysenter handler.

  • The ring0 thread we are in is placed in a halted state.

  • Upon any ring3 proces issuing a sysenter command our ring0 sysenter handler gets control.

  • The ring3 return address is modified to force our ring3 stub to be called if certain conditions met.

  • If NX is enabled we patch the respective page table entry to disable it for the ring3 code.

  • Control is passed to real sysenter handler, upon the real sysenter handler finishing, sysexit will return to our ring3 stager.

  • If the ring3 stager is executing in the desired process our sysenter handler is removed and the real ring3 payload called.

.sud_syscall_hook(opts = {}) ⇒ Object

XP SP2/2K3 SP1 ONLY

Returns a kernel-mode stager that transitions from r0 to r3 by placing code in an unused portion of SharedUserData and then pointing the SystemCall attribute to that unused portion. This has the effect of causing the custom code to be called every time a user-mode process tries to make a system call. The returned payload also checks to make sure that it’s running in the context of lsass before actually running the embedded payload.
