shellnoob Package Description

Writing shellcodes has always been super fun, but some parts are extremely boring and error prone. Focus only on the fun part, and use ShellNoob!

Features:

• convert shellcode between different formats and sources. Formats currently supported: asm, bin, hex, obj, exe, C, python, ruby, pretty, safeasm, completec, shellstorm. (All details in the “Formats description” section.)
• interactive asm-to-opcode conversion (and viceversa) mode. This is useful when you cannot use specific bytes in the shellcode and you want to figure out if a specific assembly instruction will cause problems.
• support for both ATT & Intel syntax. Check the –intel switch.
• support for 32 and 64 bits (when playing on x86_64 machine). Check the –64 switch.
• resolve syscall numbers, constants, and error numbers (now implemented for real! :-)).
• portable and easily deployable (it only relies on gcc/as/objdump and python). It is just one self-contained python script, and it supports both Python2.7+ and Python3+.
• in-place development: you run ShellNoob directly on the target architecture!
• built-in support for Linux/x86, Linux/x86_64, Linux/ARM, FreeBSD/x86, FreeBSD/x86_64.
• “prepend breakpoint” option. Check the -c switch.
• read from stdin / write to stdout support (use “-” as filename)
• uber cheap debugging: check the –to-strace and –to-gdb option!
• Use ShellNoob as a Python module in your scripts! Check the “ShellNoob as a library” section.
• Verbose mode shows the low-level steps of the conversion: useful to debug / understand / learn!
• Extra plugins: binary patching made easy with the –file-patch, –vm-patch, –fork-nopper options! (all details below)

Tools included in the shellnoob package

shellnoob – Shellcode writing toolkit

[email protected]:~# shellnoob -h
shellnoob.py [--from-INPUT] (input_file_path | - ) [--to-OUTPUT] [output_file_path | - ]
shellnoob.py -c (prepend a breakpoint (Warning: only few platforms/OS are supported!)
shellnoob.py --64 (64 bits mode, default: 32 bits)
shellnoob.py --intel (intel syntax mode, default: att)
shellnoob.py -q (quite mode)
shellnoob.py -v (or -vv, -vvv)
shellnoob.py --to-strace (compiles it & run strace)
shellnoob.py --to-gdb (compiles it & run gdb & set breakpoint on entrypoint)

Standalone "plugins"
shellnoob.py -i [--to-asm | --to-opcode ] (for interactive mode)
shellnoob.py --get-const <const>
shellnoob.py --get-sysnum <sysnum>
shellnoob.py --get-strerror <errno>
shellnoob.py --file-patch <exe_fp> <file_offset> <data> (in hex). (Warning: tested only on x86/x86_64)
shellnoob.py --vm-patch <exe_fp> <vm_address> <data> (in hex). (Warning: tested only on x86/x86_64)
shellnoob.py --fork-nopper <exe_fp> (this nops out the calls to fork(). Warning: tested only on x86/x86_64)

"Installation"
shellnoob.py --install [--force] (this just copies the script in a convinient position)
shellnoob.py --uninstall [--force]

Supported INPUT format: asm, obj, bin, hex, c, shellstorm
Supported OUTPUT format: asm, obj, exe, bin, hex, c, completec, python, bash, ruby, pretty, safeasm
All combinations from INPUT to OUTPUT are supported!

Check out the README file for more info.

shellnoob Usage Example

Start in interactive mode (-i) in asm to opcode mode (–to-opcode):

[email protected]:~# shellnoob -i --to-opcode
asm_to_opcode selected (type "quit" or ^C to end)
>> xchg %eax, %esp
xchg %eax, %esp ~> 94
>> ret
ret ~> c3
>>
