What’s this talk about?◈ Veil-Framework History◈ Veil-Framework 2.0◈ Problems with Veil◈ Veil-Framework 3.0
⬥ All the new stuff :)◈ Public Release◈ Questions

Veil - 1.0
![Page 5: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Inception◈ The idea for Veil came after many pen tests◈ The problem - time◈ Will Schroeder and myself began developing
different toolsets, and I released Veil◈ First choice for developing payloads?
⬥ Python
![Page 6: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
![Page 7: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Veil 1.0◈ This was probably my second script, ever◈ It was just one giant file◈ Tons of random functions◈ Easy for me to develop with, but probably no
one else◈ Not extensible, would be a pain to add new
features
![Page 8: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Veil 1.0◈ At this point, Will began combining both
codebases◈ We wanted a framework to allow drag and
drop payloads⬥ Just create your own private module and the
framework will pick it up!◈ We wanted something that was easy to use
and fast
![Page 9: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Veil - 2.0
![Page 10: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
![Page 11: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Veil 2.0◈ This is the Veil (Veil-Evasion) that everyone
knows today◈ Original Veil 2.0 didn’t include really any of
our own research⬥ Why reinvent the wheel?⬥ We just packaged existing research into the
framework◈ But we slowly started to add our own flair
![Page 12: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Veil 2.0◈ We largely wanted to focus on usability
⬥ Seems funny, but it’s important⬥ If you can’t use it, then it’s worthless
◈ Included some of the basics such as:⬥ Tab completion
⬦ Payloads⬥ Error checking
⬦ Users….. :)◈ Wanted to be able to easily help people
![Page 13: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Veil 2.0◈ Veil was designed to be language agnostic
⬥ Write payloads in any language we can!◈ Currently support 7 different languages, plus
native executables and auxiliary modules⬥ C, C#, Go, Perl, PowerShell, Python, and Ruby
◈ Anything that can access Windows functions can be used as a stager
◈ Built in native compilation everywhere we could
![Page 15: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Problems I’ve Encountered
![Page 16: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Shellcode and Metasploit◈ Veil can generate shellcode for its payloads
within the tool⬥ That whole usability thing…
◈ But Veil simply invokes msfvenom⬥ It’s not created within Veil
◈ This makes our life easier..◈ … until msfvenom gets updated...
![Page 17: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Shellcode and Metasploit◈ This happened one time early on after Veil
2.0’s release⬥ It completely broke Veil’s ability to receive/parse
shellcode from msfvenom◈ This was pretty easily fixed once we
understood the new output format⬥ But it identified a problem
◈ We needed to remove complete reliance on msfvenom
![Page 18: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Shellcode and Metasploit◈ Doesn’t seem widely used, but it has its
advantages for us⬥ I control the output, so no unforeseen changes⬥ It supports what we believe are the most widely
used payloads⬥ It’s faster for use vs. using msfvenom⬥ Simply patching the shellcode allows for an
immediate return of results
![Page 22: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
AV Trying to Signature Veil
![Page 23: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
AV Signature◈ About a year after Veil 2.0’s release, we
received word of a signature
![Page 24: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

![Page 30: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Veil 3.0
![Page 33: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Veil 3.0◈ Veil 3.0 has multiple changes in the tool
when compared to version 2.0⬥ First and foremost, Veil has been completely
rewritten in Python 3⬥ Python 3 is the way forward with using Python⬥ I did not want to refactor the code in Python 2
now, to need to update to Python 3 when Py2 is end-of-life (2020)
![Page 34: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Veil 3.0◈ Refactoring the codebase while updating to
Python 3 was a challenge⬥ It went beyond just changing print statements into
functions◈ Handling shellcode in Python 3 is completely
different from Python 2◈ Creating a Python payload that injects
shellcode into memory is different
![Page 35: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Veil 2.0
![Page 36: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Veil 3.0
![Page 40: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Python 3◈ Why else did I choose Python3?
⬥ I discovered some AntiVirus companies are trying to flag Veil Python payloads simply by the environment it was compiled in
![Page 41: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Python 3◈ How did I determine this?
⬥ Generated payload - caught⬥ Removed shellcode - caught⬥ Renamed CTypes - caught⬥ Commented Windows function calls - caught
⬦ From 1 to all of them⬥ Deleted EVERYTHING and did a hello world
program - ...take a guess...
![Page 42: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Python 3
![Page 43: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Python 3◈ Next…
⬥ Use the same payload source code⬥ Copied it to Windows VM⬥ “Compiled” the Python code in Windows using
Pyinstaller⬥ Scanned the new executable
![Page 44: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Python 3
![Page 45: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Python 3◈ Updating the version of Python used changes
the environmental signature it was “compiled” in
◈ Easily bypass this detection method◈ Try to get AV to go the smarter route and
actually analyze the executable vs. develop poor signatures
![Page 46: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Shellcode Generation◈ MSFVenom is still available to generate
shellcode⬥ Supports all of the payload built into MSF⬥ Still requires instantiating the “simple” framework
object◈ Veil-Ordnance is the default choice
⬥ Quickly generate shellcode⬥ In the event msfvenom output changes again, this
is a fallback (or use it by default :))
![Page 50: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Ordnance Payloads◈ Veil-Ordnance Payloads
⬥ reverse_tcp⬥ reverse_http⬥ reverse_https⬥ reverse_tcp_dns⬥ reverse_tcp_all_ports⬥ bind_tcp
![Page 51: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Ordnance Encoder◈ Veil-Ordnance does have a single encoder
⬥ Thanks to @sixdub◈ This can be used when needing to avoid bad
characters◈ I’d love to have more encoders added into
Ordnance⬥ Send any my way! :)
![Page 52: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Veil 3.0◈ So… what else is new with Veil payloads?
![Page 53: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
![Page 54: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Environmental Checks◈ Nearly all payloads now have the ability to
set pre-execution environmental checks◈ Set just one, or all of the checks◈ All checks need to pass in order for the
payload to execute⬥ All or nothing
◈ Each check developed in its respective language
![Page 55: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Environmental Checks◈ Current supported environmental checks:
⬥ Computer domain⬥ System hostname⬥ Payload expiration⬥ Number of processors⬥ Current username
◈ There’s room for more checks to be added in⬥ Want to find an easy way to contribute, add a new
environmental check!
![Page 56: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Environmental Checks◈ These are here to try to combat a few things:
⬥ Prevent analysis of the end payload by an automated malware analysis solution
⬥ If payload is run in sandbox prior to execution, it will (hopefully) prevent malicious detection
⬥ Allow the end user to create highly targeted malware
![Page 57: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
New Languages◈ While we’re at it, let’s add two new languages
⬥ AutoIt3⬥ Lua
◈ Lua - currently generates source code⬥ Can’t do native compilation, yet
◈ AutoIt3 - Generates code and can be compiled within Linux
![Page 58: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Future Work◈ Add in additional environmental checks◈ Always looking for new languages and
payloads to support◈ Additional encoders to Ordnance
![Page 60: Antivirus Evasion Reconstructed - Veil 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ef7433f8b870d302db3b/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
