PersistBOF is a tool to help automate common persistence mechanisms. Currently supports Print Monitor (SYSTEM), Time Provider (Network Service), Start folder shortcut hijacking (User), and Junction Folder (User)
Clone, run make, add .cna to Cobalt Strike client.
run: help persist-ice in CS console
Syntax:
All of these techniques rely on a Dll file to be seperately placed on disk. It is intentially not part of the BOF.
The Dll MUST be on disk and in a location in PATH (Dll search order) BEFORE you run the BOF. It will fail otherwise. The Dll will immediately be loaded by spoolsv.exe as SYSTEM. This can be used to elevate from admin to SYSTEM as well as for persistence. Will execute on system startup. Must be elevated to run.
Example:
Loaded by svchost.exe as NETWORK SERVICE (get your potatoes ready!) on startup after running the BOF. Must be elevated to run.
Example:
Same technique as demonstrated in Vault 7 leaks. Executed on user login. Non-elevated. Dll will be loaded into explorer.exe
Example:
Create a new, user writeable folder, copy a hijackable windows binary to the folder, then create a shortcut in the startup folder. Executed on user login. Non-elevated.
