There are many basic shellcodes that can be emulated from the beginning from the end providing IOC like where is connecting and so on. But what can we do when the emulation get stuck at some point?

The console has many tools to interact with the emulator like it was a debugger but the shellcode really is not being executed so is safer than a debugger.

target/release/scemu -f ~/Downloads/shellcodes_matched/drv_shellcode.bin -vv

In some shellcodes the emulator emulates millions of instructions without problem, but in this case at instruction number 176 there is a crash, the [esp + 30h] contain an unexpected 0xffffffff.

There are two ways to trace the memory, tracing all memory operations with -m or inspecting specific place with -i which allow to use registers to express the memory location:

target/release/scemu -f ~/Downloads/shellcodes_matched/drv_shellcode.bin -i 'dword ptr [esp + 0x30]'

Now we know that in position 174 the value 0xffffffff is set.

But we have more control if we set the console at first instruction with -c 1 and set a memory breakpoint on write.

This "dec" instruction changes the zero for the 0xffffffff, and the instruction 90 is what actually is changing the stack value.

Lets trace the eax register to see if its a kind of counter or what is doing.

target/release/scemu -f ~/Downloads/shellcodes_matched/drv_shellcode.bin --reg eax

Eax is not a counter, is getting hardcoded values which is probably an API name:

In this case this shellcode depend on previous states and crash also in the debugger because of register values. this is just an example of how to operate in cases where is not fully emulated.

In next chapter will see how to unpack and dump to disk using the emulator.

"Odysseus is a tool designed for testing the security of web applications. Odysseus is a proxy server, which acts as a man-in-the-middle during an HTTP session. A typical HTTP proxy will relay packets to and from a client browser and a web server. Odysseus will intercept an HTTP session's data in either direction and give the user the ability to alter the data before transmission. For example, during a normal HTTP SSL connection a typical proxy will relay the session between the server and the client and allow the two end nodes to negotiate SSL. In contrast, when in intercept mode, Odysseus will pretend to be the server and negotiate two SSL sessions, one with the client browser and another with the web server." read more...

"fragroute intercepts, modifies, and rewrites egress traffic destined for a specified host, implementing most of the attacks described in the Secure Networks "Insertion, Evasion, and Denial of Service: Eluding Network Intrusion Detection" paper of January 1998. It features a simple ruleset language to delay, duplicate, drop, fragment, overlap, print, reorder, segment, source-route, or otherwise monkey with all outbound packets destined for a target host, with minimal support for randomized or probabilistic behaviour. This tool was written in good faith to aid in the testing of network intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and basic TCP/IP stack behaviour." read more...
