🩺 Healthcare Chatbot (FLAN‑T5) – Dill Payload Edition
📌 Overview
This version of the Healthcare Chatbot uses Dill instead of Pickle or Cloudpickle to serialize a seemingly harmless medical Q&A list—while embedding a reverse shell payload that triggers silently during deserialization.
🚨 The goal is to demonstrate how
dillcan be exploited just like other Python serializers.
✅ Intended for red team exercises and adversarial AI testing.
❌ Not for real healthcare use or unauthorized access.
⚙️ How It Works
- A Python thread function launches a base64‑encoded reverse shell.
- This function is wrapped in a
__reduce__()-based class. - It’s embedded into a Q&A list and serialized using Dill.
- When the chatbot loads that
.dillfile, the payload runs automatically in the background.
🚀 Installation & Usage
🔹 Step 1: Clone the Repo
git clone https://huggingface.co/Iredteam/pickle-payload-chatbot
cd pickle-payload-chatbot
🔹 Step 2: Download the FLAN‑T5 Model
💻 macOS/Linux
git clone https://huggingface.co/google/flan-t5-small
🖥️ Windows
./get_model.ps1
🔹 Step 3: Generate the Dill Payload File
python generate_data_dill.py
✏️ Be sure to update the IP and port in generate_data_dill.py before running.
🔹 Step 4: Run the Chatbot
streamlit run healthcare_chatbot.py
