The Scope Recently, we conducted a red team assessment for a large enterprise client where the scenarios allowed were to either use the hardened laptop of the client or to try and connect our own laptop to the network (though they did have a Network Access Control system in place). This blog posts lists out […]

Prologue In the previous blogpost, we reverse engineered a binary and extracted the password from within it. This binary however contained a plaintext password. This was good to start for beginners, but you won’t really find such types of binaries in today’s world. In real life, passwords are mostly obfuscated or encrypted. Most of the […]

Welcome to the part 4 of malware development .In the previous parts 1, 2-1, 2-2 and 3, we created a binary which can listen to the commands from our botnet server. We also wrote the C2 server in python3 which can handle multiple connections via multithreading and send commands to all of them. In this […]

In the previous parts 1, 2-1 and 2-2 of this series we created a binary that can connect to, and parse commands sent via netcat listener. However, netcat is not an ideal choice for a Botnet Server, and in this post, we will be writing a full-fledged python3 Botnet Server, sending commands to our Bot […]

  In the previous parts of this blog series, I introduced the concept of writing a full-undetectable malware and about writing a client-side socket using Windows API. In this blog, we are going to parse the reply received from the netcat server and prompt a reply as to whether the command was parsed or not. […]

Welcome to the second part of the malware development blog series. Here’s the link to Part 1. Given the length of Part 2, I have split this 2nd part of the blog series into two itself. So, this is what we will cover in part 2: Hide the console Window from user [Part 2-1] Write […]

If you are in cybersecurity, especially Red Teaming, writing a full-undetectable (FUD) malware is a great skill to have. Folks tend to use Metasploit combined with Veil-Evasion or PE injectors like LordPE or Shelter, to generate a binary which can bypass the antivirus. Sometimes this works and sometimes it does not. The worst thing that […]

Part IV: Customizations – Custom Kernels and building Chroots This is the blog part 4 of building your custom Pentesting device. If you haven’t read the previous blogs, here are the links to them: – Part I Part II Part III So, now let’s get started with adding our own set of firmware support and […]

Part I: The Prologue – Android rooting Background In the game, Watchdogs, the hacker ‘Aiden Pierce’ uses his cell phone alone to hack into organizations or perform MITMs (Man in the Middle Attacks). This got me thinking, what if I could build my own mobile pen-testing device and started my research on the same. After […]
