Shellcode reflective DLL injection in Rust

Reflective DLL injection demo for fun and education. In practical applications, there's significant scope for enhancing build sizes, obfuscation, and delivery logic.

A blog post describing the technicalities of sRDI.

Project Structure

.
├── generator           # Shellcode generator (ties together bootstrap, loader, payload, and user data)
├── injector            # PoC injector (CreateRemoteThread)
├── payload             # PoC payload (calc.exe or MessageBoxW based on generator's flag)
├── reflective_loader   # sRDI implementation
└── utils               # Common XOR and hashing functions

Features

• ~14 kB reflective loader
• Hashed import names & indirect function calls
• XOR encrypted payload shellcode
• Shuffled and delayed IDT iteration (during IAT patching)

Usage

The following command compiles the DLLs and executables into target/release/:

$ cargo build --release

1. Generate shellcode containing the loader and the payload:

Usage: airborne-generator.exe [OPTIONS] --loader <LOADER_PATH> --payload <PAYLOAD_PATH> --function <FUNCTION_NAME> --parameter <PARAMETER> --output <OUTPUT_PATH>

Options:
-l, --loader <LOADER_PATH>      Path to the sRDI loader DLL
-p, --payload <PAYLOAD_PATH>    Path to the payload DLL
-f, --function <FUNCTION_NAME>  Name of the function to call in the payload DLL
-n, --parameter <PARAMETER>     Parameter to pass to the function
-o, --output <OUTPUT_PATH>      Path to the output file
-f, --flag <FLAG>               Flag to pass to the loader (by default DllMain is called) [default: 0]
-h, --help                      Print help
-V, --version                   Print version

2. Inject the created shellcode into target:

Usage: airborne-injector.exe -p <process_name> -s <shellcode_path> -k <keyfile_path>

3. Depending on the flag passed to the generator, either payload's DllMain or user defined function will run:
