Exploitation Process
-
Payload Preparation
- AES-256-CBC encryption
- XOR encoding layer
- Random padding insertion
-
Archive Creation
- Base RAR generation with WinRAR CLI
- ADS (Alternate Data Stream) attachment

-
Header Manipulation
- RAR5 format parsing
- CRC32 recalculation
- Placeholder replacement
-
Target Path Construction
..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\
Encryption Scheme
Original Payload → AES-256-CBC → XOR Encoding → Random Padding → Final Archive
