version badge github badge lgtm badge codefactor badge codecov badge bandit badge

The number of client-side attacks has grown significantly in the past few years shifting focus on poorly protected vulnerable clients. Just as the most known honeypot technologies enable research into server-side attacks, honeyclients allow the study of client-side attacks.

A complement to honeypots, a honeyclient is a tool designed to mimic the behavior of a user-driven network client application, such as a web browser, and be exploited by an attacker's content.

Thug is a Python low-interaction honeyclient aimed at mimicing the behavior of a web browser in order to detect and emulate malicious contents.

    Add support for WScriptNetwork object.

    Adds support for the WScriptNetwork object which was used in some recent samples.

    Ideally the attributes shouldn't be static but retrieved using WScriptShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(). Any comments on how to do that?

    Also did some improvements on the Scripting.FileSystemObject module.

  • Thug not properly handling redirects logging

    Thug not properly handling redirects logging

    Hi! Let's take a look at this situation: At hxxp://localhost:1337/ek_tests/dummy_redirect_chain/exploit.html some code was added by nasty hacker.

    <html>
<head>
<title>Dummy sploit</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- malicious code start -->
<script src="javascript.php?option=0"></script>
<!-- malicious code end -->
</body>
</html>

    That code redirects (indirectly) to (imaginated) exploit kit's gate (that uses alert(1) from js as exploit). It creates some new scripts on the way to gate. At the backend side, it looks like this:

    <?php
/**
* javascript.php
*/
$i = $_GET['option'];
$to_write = "";
switch ($i) {
    case 0:
        $to_write =  "var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'javascript.php?option=1';
document.body.appendChild(script);";
        break;
    case 1:
        header('Location: javascript.php?option=2');
        break;
    case 2:
        $to_write = "document.write(\"<iframe src='iframe.php?option=1'></iframe>\");";
        break;
   case 3:
        $to_write =  "var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'javascript.php?option=4';";
    case 4:
       $to_write = "alert('1');";
}
echo $to_write;
?>

    Also uses iframes

    <?php
/**
* iframe.php
*/
$i = $_GET['option'];
$to_write = "";
switch ($i) {
    case 0:
        $to_write =  "var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'javascript.php?option=1';";
        break;
    case 1:
        $to_write = "<script src='javascript.php?option=3'></script>";
        break;
    case 2:
        $to_write = "document.write(\"<iframe src='iframe.php?option=1'></iframe>\");";
        break;
   case 3:
        $to_write =  "var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'javascript.php?option=4';";
    case 4:
       $to_write = "document.alert(1);";
}
echo '<html><head></head><body>';
echo $to_write;
echo '</body></html>';
?>

    When user (thug) enters that site, it produces some redirects with alert(1) at the end. It looks like this: http://svgur.com/i/1XW.svg - graph made by thug itself.

    The problem is: Even if one script leads to another, we are not informed about that. We cannot build proper redirect chains for that redirections. We get such output:

     | -> 1    / (2->3 redirected by HTTP Location header)
0| -> 2 -> 3
 | -> 4

    Even if that really should be:

    0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4

    I know that this is caused by, for example, that newly created scripts are executed within base (0's) DOM. I believe we could somehow get information about real source of some action from V8. It is critical aspect for analysis of web threats, because at the moment we don't really know what part of website is malicious, and what is not. Also, thanks for a great tool :)

  • Data in mongodb

    Data in mongodb

    Hi, I wonder how possible it would be to push most of the data in analysis.xml/avlog.json and graph.svg into mongodb so it can be used by eg. a web interface.

    I really want to use thug, but I find the lack of a web interface for viewing the reports quite the problem.

    Ideally I guess a JSON version of the MAEC schema would be the best, but that kinda goes against the MAEC specifications, for now.. :)

    An example of a web interface I could make with having all the data in mongodb could be something like http://two.mrfjo.org/02906d5b-a7cd-47f8-9885-6e80eecf967a/

  • Fix infinite recursion problem in Window.__getattr__

    Fix infinite recursion problem in Window.__getattr__

    Window object has infinite recursion when the following two conditions:

    1. Check whether the V8 JSContext has been initialized through getattr(). It would be a lookup loop which always calls getattr() since the code uses self.context before initializing V8 JSContext.

    Fix by: Raise attribute error if getattribute() can't find "_context" variable.

    1. Get the nonexistent variable or function by "self.context.eval(name)". When V8 JSContext can't find the variable, it will call getattr() again. It also becomes a lookup loop.

    Fix by: Avoid to call getattr() from V8Context internal.

  • Problem with shellcode encoding - MongoDB logging

    Problem with shellcode encoding - MongoDB logging

    Hello, I think that the shellcode is not properly handled and stored in MongoDB. I get error messages like this one when thug tries to decode the hex encoded shellcode:

    ...
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/thug/Logging/ThugLogging.py", line 125, in add_shellcode_snippet
    m(snippet, language, relationship, tag.hex, method)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/thug/Logging/modules/MongoDB.py", line 416, in add_code_snippet
    'snippet'      : self.fix(snippet),
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/thug/Logging/modules/MongoDB.py", line 408, in fix
    return thug_unicode(data).replace("\n", "").strip()
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xeb in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)

    The problem is that the shellcode contains non printable characters and thus can not be stored in decoded form. Also even when it is possible to decode the shellcode from unicode encoding the output is not as useful as the original hex encoded form. This exception also breaks the analysis and thus it is not properly finished. I think that the shellcode should not be decoded and should be stored in its original form. What do you think about that? Thank you.

  • Timeout option not working properly

    Timeout option not working properly

    Hello Is it possible that the timeout option (-T) is not working as intended? I was scanning some targets that take a long time or never finish at all (longer than the 600s default timeout), where I noticed that the runs actually don't finish after the default timeout. I still see the timeout message in the log: [2019-03-19 09:09:30] The analysis took more than 60 second(s). Aborting! however the run is not stopped as result, rather it continues as if nothing happened. The same behaviour was occurring after choosing different targets and a shorter timeout.

    I am running thug inside a docker container and am starting the scans with the following command (short timeout for testing purposes): docker run --rm -it buffer/thug thug -T 10 -d <target url>

    I am misinterpreting what the timeout option is for? I am assuming it should abort the scan as soon as the timeout is reached, but maybe that is not the case.
