Egghunter Linux Shellcode

 

An egghunter can be useful in situations where the buffer space the attacker controls is limited and doesn’t allow for a full shellcode to be placed on the stack. The egghunter acts as a staged payload: the smaller payload which is executed first looks through the entire process memory space for a marker (the egg) indicating the start of the larger payload. Once the egg is found, the stager jumps to the memory address following the egg and executes the shellcode.

TCP reverse shellcode

 

A TCP reverse shell connects back to the attacker machine, then executes a shell and redirects all input & output to the socket. This is especially useful when a firewall denies incoming connections but allows outgoing connections.

TCP bind shellcode

 

A bind shellcode listens on a socket, waiting for a connection to be made to the server then executes arbitrary code, typically spawning shell for the connecting user. This post demonstrates a simple TCP bind shellcode that executes a shell.
