Pic Shellcode Generator

Pic Shellcode Generator is a Visual Studio project that allows you to use C/C++ to create functionality and build to shellcode easily.

Features

Written in C++
Each compile hashes DLL and function names differently
Write shellcode without knowing Assembly
Can be extended easily

How To Compile

Open the Solution file in Visual Studio
Build solution

Possible Future Changes

Custom LoadLibrary()
Compress/encrypt stub wrapper
Random function selection
???

How To Use

Open pic_sc_generate.cpp and find the function code().
Write your C/C++ code in this function.
If you add functions, make sure they are created above code().
If you need to call Win32 functions you will need to get address of function. This is done using the macro FIND_FUNCTION("dll.name", FunctionNameA). A example is provided in the code() already.
Each compile runs a prebuild event that will generate a random number used for hashing DLL and function names.
After compilation run pic_sc_generate.exe. No arguments will output usage information.
If save option is used it will save the shellcode ready to be used.
Run PicShellcodeGenerator.exe with no arguments for more info.

Example

 1| VOID WINAPI code() {
 2|     CHAR strUser32[] = { 'u','s','e','r','3','2','.','d','l','l',0 };
 3|     FIND_FUNCTION("kernel32.dll", LoadLibraryA);
 4|     LoadLibraryA(strUser32);
 5|
 6|     char one[] = { 'T', 'h', 'i', 's', '\0'};
 7|     char two[] = { 'T', 'h', 'a', 't', '\0' };
 8|     FIND_FUNCTION("user32.dll", MessageBoxA);
 9|     MessageBoxA(NULL, one, two, MB_OK);
10|     return;
11| }

Line 2 is a char array showing how we can create strings without showing up in strings.exe. Line 3 is the format when you need to use a Windows function, such as LoadLibraryA. Line 4 is now referencing our function pointer created from line 3 and loading user32.dll so we can get a function pointer. Line 6 and 7 are char arrays again. Line 8 is now getting pointer to MessageBoxA. Line 9 calls MessageBoxA and a message box is displayed.

Notes

Function pointers are only valid in the scope they are created. It would be worth creating a global struct to store function pointers if you want to call from other functions.

A reference to the code() needs to be present else it will get optimized away. To prevent this I added a command line argument -r that will run the code. This will keep the code building correctly.

I have not actually used this for anything more than a hello world program. I am not sure of its limitations beyond that but hope to see what all can be made from it.

Credits

During a project I was working on I needed the ability to create shellcode easily. After lots of searching I came across a Reddit post that took me to this repository. After going over it I wanted to make a few changes to it. This repository is my version that I will continue to work on. The original can be found here: https://github.com/jackullrich/ShellcodeStdio
