About GRAT2

GRAT2 is a Command and Control (C2) tool written in python3 and the client in .NET 4.5. The main idea came from Georgios Koumettou who initiated the project.

Why we developed GRAT2 ?

We are aware that there are numerous C2 tools out there but, we developed this tool due to curiosity of how C2 and other evasion techniques work. That's all! ;-)

Current Features:

Evasion Techniques:

• Sandbox (Check whether the machine is in the domain, if not exit).
• Patch Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) Logging.
• Patch Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI).
• caretrun - Execute command via cmd.exe in a caret format (^i^p^c^o^n^f^i^g) using explorer.exe as Parent PID (Evade some AV/EDRs).

Communication:

• HTTP and HTTPS
• DNS - Currently support only TXT records.
• Encoded Communication using XOR and base64.
• Proxy Aware.

Modules:

• startdns - Start DNS listener server.
• listagents - List current agents.
• localip - Get the local IP Address of the machine.
• uac - Attempt to bypass UAC using silent disk clean-up with Parent PID Spoofing technique.
• maketoken - Remove the current token and create a new one using the given credentials (Domain or Local).
• revtoself - Remove the current token.
• stealtoken - Attempt to steal a token from a running process and impersonate user (Administrator rights is required).
• rportfwd - Attempt to create a reverse port forward.
• whoami - Display the current user.
• hostname - Display the machine hostname.
• domain - Display the domain FQDN.
• screenshot - Take a screenshot.
• download - Download a file.
• upload - Upload File.
• cd - Change Directory.
• run - Execute command via cmd.exe using explorer.exe as Parent PID.
• caretrun - Execute command via cmd.exe in a caret format (^i^p^c^o^n^f^i^g) using explorer.exe as Parent PID (Evade some AV/EDRs).
• sleep - Set new sleep time.
• exit - Exit.
• shell - Execute command via cmd.exe.
• powershell - Execute powershell command using Unmanaged PowerShell.
• powerscript - Execute powershell scripts using Unmanaged PowerShell.
• executeassembly - Attempt to execute .NET assemblies in memory.
• ps - Print the current processes.
• pwd - Print the current directory.
• ls - Directory Listing.
• pid - Print the current Process ID.

Process Injection Techniques:

• dynamic_injectcrt - Attempt to inject a shellcode into a process using Dynamic Invoke.
• ppid_processhollow - Attempt to inject a shellcode into a process using Process Hollowing and Parent PID Spoofing (explorer.exe) technique.
• processhollow - Attempt to inject a shellcode into a process using Process Hollowing technique.
• injectppidapc - Attempt to inject a shellcode into a process using QueueUserAPC and Parent PID Spoofing (explorer.exe) technique.
• injectapc - Attempt to inject a shellcode into a process using QueueUserAPC technique.
• injectcrt - Attempt to inject a shellcode into a remote process using Create Remote Thread technique.

Refer to GRAT2_Shellcodes in order to generate position-independent shellcode using Donut.

TODO:

• SMB Listener.
• Improve DNS Listener by adding more features like A records, switch from DNS to HTTP, etc.
• Add Logging.
• Implement SOCKS5.
• Fix known issues.

Configure your client profile:

General settings and HTTP/s Listener:

• c2 - Your GRAT2 Server IP Address or Hostname (Required).

• sandboxEvasion - If enabled (1), GRAT2 will be executed only on a domain join computer otherwise, GRAT2 will be terminated. If disabled (0), GRAT2 will be executed only on a non domain join computer otherwise, will be terminated (Default: Disabled).

• patchEtw - If enabled (1), Event Tracing for Windows will be patched (Default: Enabled).

• patchAmsi - if enabled (1), Antimalware Scan Interface will be patched (Default: Enabled).

• sleep - Set sleep time (Default: 3 seconds).

• UserAgent - Set UserAgent (Default: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; yie11; rv:11.0) like Gecko").

• initialUrl - Initial GRAT2 HTTP GET request (Default: jquery.js).

• sendResults - GRAT2 HTTP POST results request (Default: login.aspx).

  NOTE if you change either initialUrl or sendResults string, you have to update the string under GRAT2_Server/handlers.py on line 49 and 84 respectively.

DNS Listener:

• DNSListener - Enable (1) or Disable (0). If enabled, configure the GRAT2 Server (see below) accordingly.
• DNSServer - Your GRAT2 DNS Server.
• dnsMaxTXT - Maximum length of TXT Records (Default: 255).
• maxDNSChar - The maximum size in chars for each DNS subdomain (Default: 63).

Configure your server profile:

HTTP/s and DNS Listener:

• HOST_NAME - Your GRAT2 Server IP Address or Hostname.
• PORT_NUMBER - Listening port. (80 or 443)
• server_pem - Your PEM file Location.
• dnsDomainName - Your GRAT2 DNS Server.

Usage:

• Open GRAT2 Client (GRAT2_Client.sln) project using Visual Studio, change the solution configuration from Debug to Release and then Build Solution.
• Install the two dependencies (dnslib and termcolor) on GRAT2 Server: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
• Start GRAT2 Server:
• Run GRAT2 Client executable - GRAT2_Client\bin\Release\GRAT2_Client.exe
• Interact with the agent:

Release Notes:

Version 1.0 - 05 Sep 2020

• Initial Release

Version 1.1 - 13 Dec 2020

• Added DNS Listener
• Added HTTPS Listener
