So after using csharp to inject shellcode I wanted to see what other languages were able to directly write to and call memory locations.

As I’ve been working my way through The SecurityTube Python Scripting Expert course I decided it made sense to see if it was possible with python.

A quick google found me a href=”http://www.debasish.in/2012/04/execute-shellcode-using-python.html” target=”_blank”>this post by Debasish. FULL credit for this work goes to Debasish, this post is purely for my notes and memory. 🙂

So the first thing we need to do is create a payload for the exploit, a simple shell bind TCP will suffice:

1
root@bt:~# msfvenom -p windows/shell/bind_tcp -e none

Insert the code into the short python script and then run it, pretty simple really:
