HTMLSmuggler - JS payload generator for IDS bypass and payload delivery via HTML smuggling.

Description

The full explanation what is HTML Smuggling may be found here.

The primary objective of HTML smuggling is to bypass network security controls, such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems, by disguising malicious payloads within seemingly harmless HTML and JavaScript code. By exploiting the dynamic nature of web applications, attackers can deliver malicious content to a user’s browser without triggering security alerts or being detected by traditional security mechanisms. Thanks to this technique, the download of a malicious file is not displayed in any way in modern IDS solutions.

The main goal of HTMLSmuggler tool is creating an independent javascript library with embedded malicious user-defined payload. This library may be integrated into your phishing sites/email html attachments/etc. to bypass IDS and IPS system and deliver embedded payload to the target user system. An example of created javascript library may be found here.

Features

  • Built-in highly configurable JavaScript obfuscator that fully hides your payload.
  • May be used both as an independent JS library or embedded in JS frameworks such as React, Vue.js, etc.
  • The simplicity of the template allows you to add extra data handlers/compressions/obfuscations.

Installation

  1. Install yarn package manager.
  2. Install dependencies:

yarn

  1. Read help message.

yarn build -h

Options:
  -p, --payload <string>   Path to payload file you want to smuggle
  -n, --name <string>      Name of file, that would be downloaded
  -t, --type <string>      Contet-Type of downlonaded file (default: "application/octet-stream")
  -f, --function <string>  Name of exported function (default: "download")
  -c, --compress           Enable payload compression (gzip)
  -h, --help               display help for command

Usage

Preparation steps

  1. Modify (or use my) javascript-obfuscator options in obfuscator.js, my preset is nice, but very slow.
  2. Compile your javascript payload:

yarn build -p /path/to/payload -n file.exe -t “application/octet-stream” -c

  1. Get your payload from dist/payload.esm.js or dist/payload.umd.js. After that, it may be inserted into your page and called with download() (or custom specified with -f flag) function.

payload.esm.js is used in import { download } from 'payload.esm'; imports (ECMAScript standart).

payload.umd.js is used in html script SRC and require('payload.umd'); imports (CommonJS, AMD and pure html).

Pure HTML example

A full example may be found here.

  1. Do preparation steps.
  2. Import created script to html file (or insert it inline):
  1. Call download() function from body:
