Description:

PeInjector 1.0.3

PeInjector
Description
This python tool injects shellcode in Windows Program Executable to
backdoor it with optional polymorphism.

Support x86 ans x64 architectures.

Requirements
This package require:

python3
python3 Standard Library

Installation
python3 -m pip install PeInjector

git clone "https://github.com/mauricelambert/PeInjector.git"
cd "PeInjector"
python3 -m pip install .

Usages
Command line
PeInjector # Using CLI package executable
python3 -m PeInjector # Using python module
python3 PeInjector.pyz # Using python executable
PeInjector.exe # Using python Windows executable

PeInjector test.exe 90 # Inject shellcode "NOP" (instruction 0x90) in test.exe
PeInjector -p test.exe 90 # Inject polymorphism shellcode to execute "NOP" (instruction 0x90) in test.exe

Python
from PeInjector import *

shellcode = b"\x90" # NOP instruction

with open("target.exe", "rb") as target, open("backdoor.exe", "wb") as backdoor:
inject(target, backdoor, shellcode, polymorphism=False)

Detections

Thanks to VirusTotal online, public and free service. I use it to test my backdoored files and compare antivirus solution.

My pe-injector is not sneaky, there is no antivirus bypass and contains a lot of IOC or suspicious content but only few antivirus detect backdoored files:

I sent 32 bits backdoored executable (compiled with gcc and stripped) on virustotal with a polymorphic shellcode execution but only 15 antivirus detect it as malicious. The following elements should be detected by antivirus:

Last section have RWX permissions (very very suspicious)
Last section name is .inject and contains executable code (PE characteristics) (very suspicious)
Entry point in the last section (very suspicious)
There are 2 section with executable code (PE characteristics) (suspicious)

I sent 64 bits backdoored executable (compiled with gcc and stripped) on virustotal with a polymorphic shellcode execution but only 7 antivirus detect it as malicious. The following elements should be detected by antivirus:

Last section have RWX permissions (it's very very suspicious)
Last section name is .inject and contains executable code (PE characteristics) (very suspicious)
Entry point in the last section (very suspicious)
There are 2 section with executable code (PE characteristics) (suspicious)

I sent 32 bits backdoored executable (compiled with gcc and stripped) on virustotal with shellcode execution but only 13 antivirus detect it as malicious. The following elements should be detected by antivirus:

Last section name is .inject and contains executable code (PE characteristics) (very suspicious)
Entry point in the last section (very suspicious)
Last section jump on the first executable section (very suspicious)
There are 2 section with executable code (PE characteristics) (suspicious)
Last section have RX permissions (suspicious)

I sent 64 bits backdoored executable (compiled with gcc and stripped) on virustotal with a polymorphic shellcode execution but only 4 antivirus detect it as malicious. The following elements should be detected by antivirus:

Last section name is .inject and contains executable code (PE characteristics) (very suspicious)
Entry point in the last section (very suspicious)
Last section jump on the first executable section (very suspicious)
There are 2 section with executable code (PE characteristics) (suspicious)
Last section have RX permissions (suspicious)

Detection and antivirus solution comparaison
Only 3 antivirus detect all backdoored Program Executable:

Bkav Pro
SecureAge
Zoner

For all of theses antivirus solutions, there is only one interesting detection name, an antivirus solution should detect malicious files, block it and sent some basic informations to SOC analyst. For the least detected backdoored file we have the following detection names:

BehavesLike.Win64.Kudj.lt -> Windows 64 bits, detected as Kudj.lt, this detection name is very interesting because Kudj is a file infector but this detection name come from Skyhigh and this solution don't detect 32 bits backdoored files
Probably Heur.ExeHeaderL -> heuristic detection for suspicious headers, this detection is not very bad but some informations are missing
W64.AIDetectMalware -> Windows 64 bits, detected as malware by AI module but what is malicious ? No information about PE backdoored file... all techniques i use are documented on internet
Malicious -> What is malicious ? No information about PE backdoored file... all techniques i use are documented on internet

Best antivirus solution for PeInjector
The best solution to detect backdoored Program Executable is probably Zoner because it's one of the 3 solutions that detect 4 different tests and the detection name not really bad (with Probably Heur.ExeHeaderL a SOC analyst can analyze PE headers and identify the file as malicious file).

I don't know if Zoner is a good antivirus, i don't say it's the best antivirus for general detection, but when i wrote theses lines it's probably the best antivirus to detect the PeInjector backdoored files. It's really a specific test. I never use Zoner antivirus solution.
