Like execve, we require a pointer to a string of our target file's name. In C, we have a function which can do the same job and guess what it's called. In the command line, we can do this with the chmod utility. Because of this, we may require a function to programmatically and automatically do this for us. On a linux machine, when we output a file, it may not have the necessary permissions to be executed. Overall, the execve requires a char * array which has pointers to the name of our target executable file as a string and environment arguments (which we do not need for this so it will just be NULL). Head over to the manpage for execve for complete details. Fear not, for I have found a suitable one for us. We have yet to discover a function which will execute a file (I do not recommend using the system function). If you have completed the task I assigned in the previous tutorial the hard part is done. So our deobfuscation routine will be exactly the same! How wonderfully convenient! Write the obfuscated contents into the output file.Īs for the deobfuscation part, remember that XOR can decrypt the encrypted as long as we use the same key.Extract the contents one-by-one from our malware.Open an output file to disk with a binary write.Open our malware from disk with a binary read.

Let's now create a plan on how to code our crypter. We've completed our checklist and understand how crypters work.
#Crypter programme windows#
Obviously, we do not have the knowledge to create the runtime crypter because we are not familiar with either the Windows API or how executables are loaded into memory, so we will have to settle with a scantime.

Welcome to a tutorial on crypting technology.
