Overview

The logical meterpreter packet class

Constant Summary collapse

XOR_KEY_SIZE =

The Packet container itself has a custom header that is slightly different than the typical TLV packets. The header contains the following:

XOR KEY - 4 bytes Session GUID - 16 bytes Encrypt flags - 4 bytes Packet length - 4 bytes Packet type - 4 bytes Packet data - X bytes

If the encrypt flags are zero, then the Packet data is just straight TLV values as per the normal TLV packet structure.

If the encrypt flags are non-zer, then the Packet data is encrypted based on the scheme.

Flag == 1 (AES256)

IV             - 16 bytes
Encrypted data - X bytes

The key that is required to decrypt the data is stored alongside the session data, and hence when the packet is initially parsed, only the header is accessed. The packet itself will need to be decrypted on the fly at the point that it is required and at that point the decryption key needs to be provided.

Constructor Details

#initialize(type = nil, method = nil) ⇒ Packet

Initializes the packet to the supplied packet type and method, if any. If the packet is a request, a request identifier is created.
