Is this project still working? experiencing issues loading several shellcodes

[sl4cky]

I tested the framework using different shellcodes but I keep getting errors, or nothing happens , have used console output for debug.

./ScareCrow -I beacon.bin -domain www.microsoft.com -console

The shellcode is a stageless cobalt shellcode. I'm getting the following output from console and there is no callback to c2:

[DEBUG] [+] Detected Version: 10.0

also tried with metasploit calc shellcode:
msfvenom -p windows/x64/exec CMD="calc.exe" -f raw -o ok.bin

using the same flags as previous and the following error on console:

Yes, this project is very much still working. It looks like it's your shellcode, unfortunately, I can't help you as not sure what your shellcode looks like (posting debug outputs don't help me when I don't know what's being loaded) It could be a UDRL in the case of cobalt strike or something else. Based on your output, I suggest you try some of the other loaders built into Scarecrow.

[sl4cky]

Ok will do some research and update on this thanks for a quick response :)

Maybe it's the null bytes?

[sl4cky]

Tried without null bytes as well still not working, will check it further out and update

[chucksploit]

FYI @sl4cky I was running into this same issue with fresh stageless shellcode for CS. I unloaded my UDRL and made a new payload with ScareCrow and everything was resolved.

[Tylous]

It shoulds like it could be a UDRL issue. Hard to know with out know for sure with out all the details of the C2 and other things going into your payload.

[ptr0x1]

I ended up getting this error too, in my case the "image_size_x64" value was too low and c2lint called it out too. Not sure if this related to more recent changes because the profile used to work but maybe this helps.

I also ran into an issue where the binary output is unreliable. Sometimes it straight exits, other times I can see the beacon come in and then die (sometimes after a few successful sleep cycles). I turned off any custom settings in the profile/UDRL but the issue persisted. I ended up modifying the loader routine so it uses virtualalloc + write (just like the DLL loader) instead of the pointer trickery + virtualprotect. This solved it and it is now consistently triggering and stays alive. Again it used to work so maybe latest CS changes are causing an access violation somewhere?

[chucksploit]

Came back to say that I'm experiencing similar issues to @ptr0x1. With bone stock CS shellcode (4.8 release), I will very rarely get a beacon callback, and if I do it dies shortly after. Same outcome for binary payloads and DLLs, so something must be causing issues with the new CS versions; as my previous comment was from old CS shellcode (< 4.7). I'm going to tinker with this a good bit in the coming days and see if I can find some answers.

[chucksploit]

I was able to implement the fix @ptr0x1 spoke about (using the DLL loader for the Binary template) and everything works fine. @Tylous I didn't submit a PR for it since it's not really a fix, but the code's in my fork here: https://github.com/chucksploit/ScareCrow. I'm still trying to see what the root cause is.

[Tylous]

I am working on a new version (which should be out shortly) that removes the old binary template with 4 new ones. The Binary template no longer works with the latest versions of golang. As a result the new version will provide several universal templates.

[Tylous]

ScareCrow 5.0 is out now, this should take of this, please feel free to re-open this if you experience it still.
