exe2hex logo

- - - ### Overview exe2hex encodes an executable binary file into ASCII text format. The result then can be transferred to the target machine (It is much easier to echo a ASCII file than binary data). Upon executing exe2hex's output file, the original program is restored by using `DEBUG.exe` or PowerShell (which are pre-installed by default on Windows). Can be automated by using either the in-built Telnet or WinEXE options in exe2hex to transfer the file over to the target machine, else the output can manually be inserted. ```Binary EXE -> ASCII Text -> *Transfer* -> Binary EXE``` ![](https://i.imgur.com/vAmiyj9.png) - - - ### Quick Guide + Input using a file (`-x /path/to/binary-program.exe`) or STDIN (`-s`) + Output to BATch (`-b file.bat`) and/or PoSH (`-p powershell.cmd`) #### Example Usage **Create BATch & PowerShell files**: ```bash $ python3 exe2hex.py -x /usr/share/windows-binaries/sbd.exe [*] exe2hex v1.5 [i] Outputting to /root/sbd.bat (BATch) and /root/sbd.cmd (PoSh) [+] Successfully wrote (BATch) /root/sbd.bat [+] Successfully wrote (PoSh) /root/sbd.cmd $ ``` **Compress the file before creating a BATch file**: ```bash $ ./exe2hex.py -x /usr/share/windows-binaries/nc.exe -b /var/www/html/nc.txt -cc [*] exe2hex v1.5 [i] Attempting to clone and compress [i] Creating temporary file /tmp/tmpft9tmm_i [+] Compression (strip) was successful! (0.0% saved) [+] Compression (UPX) was successful! (50.9% saved) [+] Successfully wrote (BATch) /var/www/html/nc.txt $ ``` **Use STDIN to create BATch & PowerShell files**: ```bash $ cat /usr/share/windows-binaries/whoami.exe | python3 exe2hex.py -s -b debug.bat -p ps.cmd [*] exe2hex v1.5 [i] Reading from STDIN [+] Successfully wrote (BATch) /root/debug.bat [+] Successfully wrote (PoSh) /root/ps.cmd $ ``` #### Help ```bash $ python3 exe2hex.py [*] exe2hex v1.5 Encodes an executable binary file into ASCII text format Restore using DEBUG.exe (BATch - x86) or PowerShell (PoSh - x86/x64) Quick Guide: + Input binary file with -s or -x + Output with -b and/or -p Example: $ /usr/bin/exe2hex -x /usr/share/windows-binaries/sbd.exe $ /usr/bin/exe2hex -x /usr/share/windows-binaries/nc.exe -b /var/www/html/nc.txt -cc $ cat /usr/share/windows-binaries/whoami.exe | /usr/bin/exe2hex -s -b debug.bat -p ps.cmd --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Usage: exe2hex [options] Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -x EXE The EXE binary file to convert -s Read from STDIN -b BAT BAT output file (DEBUG.exe method - x86) -p POSH PoSh output file (PowerShell method - x86/x64) -e URL encode the output -r TEXT pRefix - text to add before the command on each line -f TEXT suFfix - text to add after the command on each line -l INT Maximum HEX values per line -c Clones and compress the file before converting (-cc for higher compression) -t Create a Expect file, to automate to a Telnet session. -w Create a Expect file, to automate to a WinEXE session. -v Enable verbose mode $ ``` - - - ### Methods/OS Support + **`DEBUG.exe` (BATch mode - `-b`)** + Supports x86 OSs (No x64 support). + Useful for legacy versions of Windows (e.g. Windows XP/Windows 2000). + Pre-installed by default. Works out of the box. + ~~Limitation of 64k file size for binary programs.~~ Creates multiple parts and joins with `copy /b` so this is not an issue anymore! + **PowerShell (PoSh mode - `-p`)** + Supports both x86 & x64 OSs. + Aimed at more "recent" versions of Windows. + PowerShell was first integrated into core OS with Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2. + Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 & Windows Vista requires PowerShell to be pre-installed. + This is **not** a `.ps1` file (pure PowerShell). It only calls PowerShell at the end. - - - ### Features **Primary purpose**: Convert a binary program into a ASCII HEX file which can be restored using in-built OS programs. + Work on old and new versions of Windows without requiring any 3rd party programs to be pre-installed. + Supports x86 & x64 OSs. + Can use DEBUG.exe or PowerShell to restore the file. + Able to compress the file before converting. + URL encode the output. + The option to add prefix and suffix text to each line. + Able to set a maximum HEX length per line. + Can use a binary file or pipe from standard input (`STDIN`). + Automate transfers over Telnet and/or WinEXE. Note: This is nothing new. [The core idea (using DEBUG.exe for inline file transfer) has been around since 2003](https://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-asia-03/bh-asia-03-chong.pdf) _(if not earlier!)_. - - - ### Telnet When pasting a large amount of data (100+ lines) directly into a Telnet session, the results can be "unpredictable". Behaviours include lines being executed in a incorrect order or characters are just completely skipped. A solution is to use "[Expect](http://expect.sourceforge.net/)" (which is an extension of [TCL](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/)). Expect can be found in a most major Linux OSs repositories (`apt-get -y install expect` / `yum -y install expect` / `pacman -S expect`). Upon executing exe2hex's Telnet script, Expect will automate the Telnet login (based on the arguments used), look for a writeable folder (e.g. defaults to the system variable, `%TEMP%`) and then start inputting commands from exe2hex's output file, line by line one at a time. If required, the variables at the top of the Expect script can be manually edited (to use a different Telnet port, path, or command prompt). An example of exe2hex's Telnet mode can be seen below: ```bash $ python3 exe2hex.py -x /usr/share/windows-binaries/klogger.exe -b klogger.bat -t [*] exe2hex v1.5 [+] Successfully wrote (BATch) /root/klogger.bat [+] Successfully wrote (Expect) /root/klogger-bat-telnet $ $ expect /root/klogger-bat-telnet Usage: ./klogger-bat-telnet $ $ /root/klogger-bat-telnet 192.168.103.148 winxp pass123 spawn telnet 192.168.103.148 Trying 192.168.103.148...
