Shellcode Reflective DLL Injection (sRDI) in Rust (Codename: Venom)

Shellcode reflective DLL injection (sRDI) is a process injection technique that allows us to convert a given DLL into a position-independent code which can then be injected using our favourite shellcode injection and execution technique.

Features

The size of the reflective loader is approximately 4KB.
Does not release the memory that was allocated by the injector, nor does it remove any existing RWX permissions set by the user injector, if applicable.
Does not overwrite or erase the DOS or NT Headers of the newly allocated memory after/before resolving imports or rebasing image.
Applies protection settings for each section allocated by the VirtualAlloc function, and subsequently executes either DllMain or SayHello functions.

What about OPSEC? Feel free to implement it yourself :)

Usage

0). Install Rust

1). Build all of the projects

cargo build --release

2). Generate the shellcode.

PS C:\Users\memN0ps\Documents\GitHub\srdi-rs\target\release> .\generate_shellcode.exe -h
Shellcode Reflective DLL Injection (sRDI)

Usage: generate_shellcode.exe [OPTIONS] --loader <LOADER> --payload <PAYLOAD> --function <FUNCTION> --parameter <PARAMETER> --output <OUTPUT>

Options:
      --loader <LOADER>        The reflective loader DLL path (loader.dll)
      --payload <PAYLOAD>      The payload DLL path (payload.dll)
      --function <FUNCTION>    The function to execute inside payload.dll (SayHello)
      --parameter <PARAMETER>  The parameter to pass to the function inside payload.dll (https://localhost:1337/)
      --output <OUTPUT>        The output file path (shellcode.bin)
      --flags <FLAGS>          The 0x0 flag will execute DllMain and any other flag will execute the function inside payload.dll (SayHello) [default: 1]
  -h, --help                   Print help
  -V, --version                Print version
PS C:\Users\memN0ps\Documents\GitHub\srdi-rs\target\release>

3). Bring your own injector (BYOI) and inject the position-independent code with your favourite injection and execution technique or use the one in the repository.

PS C:\Users\memN0ps\Documents\GitHub\srdi-rs\target\release> .\inject.exe -h
Simple Injector for PoC

Usage: inject.exe --process <PROCESS> --file <FILE>

Options:
      --process <PROCESS>  The target process name (notepad.exe)
      --file <FILE>        The PIC file path (shellcode.bin)
  -h, --help               Print help
  -V, --version            Print version
PS C:\Users\memN0ps\Documents\GitHub\srdi-rs\target\release>
