About this blog

Hacking techniques include penetration testing, network security, reverse cracking, malware analysis, vulnerability exploitation, encryption cracking, social engineering, etc., used to identify and fix security flaws in systems.

If you're unsure what Impero is, it's essentially a corporate/educational RAT. Vendor site: https://www.imperosoftware.co.uk/

They recently were in the news about how they implemented "anti-radicalisation" shit or something.

They had a booth at BETT back in January. They gave out donuts. Those were nice. Unfortunately, when I asked about their security, nobody answered me.

Some reversing later, looks like Impero is completely pwned amirite.

The proprietary Impero protocol on the wire is encrypted. With AES-128 CBC. And a hardcoded key and iv that are both derived from sha512(Imp3ro). ISO10126 padding is used.

After connection, a client must authenticate. This is done by sending "-1|AUTHENTICATE\x02PASSWORD". Not even joking here. "PASSWORD" is a seperate string though, so it might be different for some special clients maybe. No idea.

Then, we have full range to do whatever we want. My PoC also does negotiatiation, but I'm not sure if that's needed.

We can get a list of clients with the "SENDCLIENTS" command, then send all the IDs to "SENDCOMMANDMSG" (run CLI command as SYSTEM), or OPENFILE (run visibly an EXE under whatever user, including SYSTEM), or other protocol commands, etc.

There's an OSX version, but I haven't properly looked into that. Run my PoC with the right args and it pops calc on every Windows client as SYSTEM. It also runs "whoami > c:\lol.txt", also as SYSTEM. This second one gets logged serverside, but the server logs it as "unknown" as it doesn't know what client did it.

Basically, if you use Impero, please don't.

Oh yeah -- free speech for the win... internet censorship is <insert some expletives here>, and so are any and all RATs.

PoC code follows. In PHP because lol. PoC works on at least 5.x (latest).
