If your exploit gets caught all the time, it doesnt matter how awesome or how technically challenging your exploit is, it is most likely not very usable in a real penetration test. Browser exploits in particular, heavily rely on JavaScript to trigger vulnerabilities, therefore a lot of antivirus or signature-based intrusion detection/prevention systems will scan the JavaScript and flag specific lines as malicious. The following code used to be considered as MS12-063 by multiple <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/90fdf2beab48cf3c269f70d8c9cf7736f3442430ea023d06b65ff073f724870e/analysis/1388888489/">antivirus vendors</a> even though it is not necessarily harmful or malicious, well use this as an example throughout the wiki:</p><div class="language-javascript highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="kd">var</span> <span class="nx">arrr</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">new</span> <span class="nc">Array</span><span class="p">();</span>

For example, you can manually modify the code a little bit to make it not recognizable by any signatures. Or if the antivirus relies on cached webpages to scan for exploits, it is possible to make the browser not cache your exploit so you stay undetected. Or in this case, you can obfuscate your code, which is what this writeup will focus on.</p><p>In Metasploit, there are three common ways to obfuscate your JavaScript. The first one is simply by using the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">rand_text_alpha</code> method (in <a href="https://github.com/rapid7/rex-text/blob/3bb11cb5c9997096a82a4e160fcb31c152385a9a/lib/rex/text/rand.rb#L127-L132">Rex</a>) to randomize your variables. The second one is by using the <a href="https://github.com/rapid7/rex-exploitation/blob/f3058a0737ba89fd116f99a8381a409bba6a53fa/lib/rex/exploitation/obfuscatejs.rb">ObfuscateJS</a> class. And the third option is the <a href="https://github.com/rapid7/rex-exploitation/blob/f3058a0737ba89fd116f99a8381a409bba6a53fa/lib/rex/exploitation/jsobfu.rb">JSObfu</a> class.</p><h2 id="the-rand_text_alpha-trick"> <a href="#the-rand_text_alpha-trick" class="anchor-heading" aria-labelledby="the-rand_text_alpha-trick"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#svg-link"></use></svg></a> The rand_text_alpha trick</h2><p>Using <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">rand_text_alpha</code> is the most basic form of evasion, but also the least effective. If this is your choice, you should randomize whatever can be randomized without breaking the code.</p><p>By using the above MS12-063, heres how you would use <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">rand_text_alpha</code>:</p><div class="language-ruby highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Randomizes the array variable</span>
<span class="c1"># Max size = 6, Min = 3</span>
<span class="n">var_array</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">rand_text_alpha</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nb">rand</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">6</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">)</span>

</span><span class="si">#{</span><span class="n">var_array</span><span class="si">}</span><span class="sx">[0]["src"] = "</span><span class="si">#{</span><span class="n">val_src</span><span class="si">}</span><span class="sx">";
|</span>
</code></pre></div></div><h2 id="the-obfuscatejs-class"> <a href="#the-obfuscatejs-class" class="anchor-heading" aria-labelledby="the-obfuscatejs-class"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#svg-link"></use></svg></a> The ObfuscateJS class</h2><p>The ObfuscateJS class is like the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">rand_text_alpha</code> technique on steroids, but even better. It allows you to replace symbol names such as variables, methods, classes, and namespaces. It can also obfuscate strings by either randomly using <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">fromCharCode</code> or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">unescape</code>. And lastly, it can strip JavaScript comments, which is handy because exploits often are hard to understand and read so you need comments to remember why something is written in a specific way, but you dont want to show or leak those comments in a pentest.</p><p>To use ObfuscateJS, lets use the MS12-063 example again to demonstrate. If you feel like following the steps yourself without writing a module, what you can do is go ahead and run <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">msfconsole</code>, and then switch to irb, like this:</p><div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ ./msfconsole -q
msf &gt; irb
[*] Starting IRB shell...
&gt;&gt;
</code></pre></div></div><p>And then you are ready to go.</p><p>The first thing you do with ObfuscateJS is you need to initialize it with the JavaScript you want to obfuscate, so in this case, begin like the following:</p><div class="language-ruby highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="n">js</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="sx">%Q|
var arrr = new Array();
arrr[0] = windows.document.createElement("img");
arrr[0]["src"] = "a";
|</span>
<span class="n">obfu</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="o">::</span><span class="no">Rex</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="no">Exploitation</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="no">ObfuscateJS</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nf">new</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">js</span><span class="p">)</span>
</code></pre></div></div><p><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">obfu</code> should return a <a href="https://github.com/rapid7/rex-exploitation/blob/f3058a0737ba89fd116f99a8381a409bba6a53fa/lib/rex/exploitation/obfuscatejs.rb">Rex::Exploitation::ObfuscateJS</a> object. It allows you to do a lot of things, you can really just call <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">methods</code>, or look at the source to see what methods are available (with additional API documentation). But for demo purposes, well showcase the most common one: the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">obfuscate</code> method.</p><p>To actually obfuscate, you need to call the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">obfuscate</code> method. This method accepts a symbols argument that allows you to manually specify what symbol names (variables, methods, classes, etc) to obfuscate, it should be in a hash like this:</p><div class="language-ruby highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{</span>
<span class="s1">'Variables'</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="p">[</span> <span class="s1">'var1'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="p">],</span>
<span class="s1">'Methods'</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="p">[</span> <span class="s1">'method1'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="p">],</span>
<span class="s1">'Namespaces'</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="p">[</span> <span class="s1">'n'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="p">],</span>
<span class="s1">'Classes'</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="p">[</span> <span class="p">{</span> <span class="s1">'Namespace'</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">'n'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'Class'</span> <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">'y'</span><span class="p">},</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="p">]</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</code></pre></div></div><p>So if I want to obfuscate the variable <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">arrr</code>, and I want to obfuscate the src string, heres how:</p><div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>&gt;&gt; obfu.obfuscate('Symbols' =&gt; {'Variables'=&gt;['arrr']}, 'Strings' =&gt; true)
=&gt; "\nvar QqLFS = new Array();\nQqLFS[0] = windows.document.createElement(unescape(String.fromCharCode( 37, 54, 071, 045, 0x36, 0144, 37, 066, 067 )));\nQqLFS[0][String.fromCharCode( 115, 0x72, 0143 )] = unescape(String.fromCharCode( 045, 0x36, 0x31 ));\n"
</code></pre></div></div><p>In some cases, you might actually want to know the obfuscated version of a symbol name. One scenario is calling a JavaScript function from an elements event handler, such as this:</p><div class="language-html highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="nt">&lt;html&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;head&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;script&gt;</span>
<span class="kd">function</span> <span class="nf">test</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="nf">alert</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="dl">"</span><span class="s2">hello, world!</span><span class="dl">"</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;/script&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;/head&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;body</span> <span class="na">onload=</span><span class="s">"test();"</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;/body&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;/html&gt;</span>
</code></pre></div></div><p>The obfuscated version would look like the following:</p><div class="language-ruby highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="n">js</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="sx">%Q|
function test() {
alert("hello, world!");

The obfuscation is more complex and you can actually tell it to obfuscate multiple times. You also no longer have to manually specify what symbol names to change, it just knows.</p><p><strong>Trying JSObfu in Rex</strong></p><p>Lets get back to irb again to demonstrate how easy it is to use JSObfu:</p><div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ ./msfconsole -q
