shellnoob Usage Example

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

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


Packages and Binaries:

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 * portable and easily deployable (it only relies on gcc/as/objdump and Python) And it just one self-contained Python script! * 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

How to install: sudo apt install shellnoob

Dependencies:
  • python3
shellnoob
root@kali:~# 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!
