I wanted to ask if there is any way how to create shellcode that will be later used in some shellcode runner.
I know that there is tool like donut that can generate position independent shellcode from executables or msfvenom that can generate shellcode to for example call process 'calc.exe' or something.
But I would like to create my own shellcode and learn something about the way how msfvenom or donut can generate these shellcodes.
For example, I would like to try to create shellcode that will print "Hello, World!" to console.
And the created shellcode will be used in one of my shellcode runners in python.
Shellcodes are just PIC self-contained programs. If you want to develop a shellcode, write a program that uses no global variable or imported API. You may want to look at the PEB structure. Of course this assumes you have no other constraints on your shellcode (like size or null bytes).
Creating shellcode can be a complex task that requires a good understanding of assembly language and the target architecture. One approach is to start by writing your code in assembly language, keeping it as small and efficient as possible. Once you have your assembly code, you can use an assembler like NASM or YASM to convert it into machine code. Then, you'll need to convert the machine code into shellcode analysis. This can be done manually by removing any null bytes and other characters that might cause issues, or you can use tools like Metasploit's msfvenom to automate the process. It's important to note that creating shellcode can be risky, as it is often used in exploits and attacks. Make sure you have permission to create and use shellcode, and always test it in a safe, controlled environment.
