Shaco – C linux agent for the Havoc framework

Shaco

Shaco is a simple C Linux agent for the Havoc framework, available at https://github.com/HavocFramework/Havoc. Utilizing a hardcoded socket, Shaco communicates with the server over HTTP.

Commands

This is the list of commands that the agent supports:

  • shell { command }
  • upload { localfile remotefile }
  • download { remotefile } – download file from remote
  • sleep { time }
  • jitter { time }
  • cd { path } – change directory
  • checkin – register again the agent and show informations
  • pwd – show the location
  • exit

Features

Features of Shaco agent

  • Random Connect ( randomint(sleep, sleep + jitter) )
  • Random hash from http send to avoid rules
  • Hardcoded Http client
  • Custom Memory Management
  • Minimal
  • No dependencies
  • InLine syscall
  • Hide Cmdline changing for a random process in the target

Running and Configuration/Compilation

Clone

git clone –recurse-submodules https://github.com/souzomain/Shaco.git 

After cloning this repo, you can execute the python handler

python handler.py

Create an HTTP havoc listener.

https://havocframework.com/docs/listeners

To compile this, you can use the havoc payload generator in Attack -> Payload and choose the Shaco option

https://havocframework.com/docs/agent

Issues

The upload option will not function if the file size is greater than 7000 bytes because HTTP is hardcoded and does not support chunks in Havoc 0.6, a bug that is being worked on. 

TODO

TODO of the project

  • Implement python-support ( ex: pyload cme.py )
  • Implement in-memory file exec ( after havoc 0.6 )
  • Implement shared library injection to migrate the process
  • Better compilation using havoc
  • Update shell command to execute async
  • Create “job” command equals demon job.
  • Implement time to exec, ex: run_time 2020/02/02:10.05 rm -rf /
  • Configure compilation to compile for macOS and Android
  • Implement Crypt to the communication ( after havoc 0.6 )
  • Automatic agent update ( optional )
