My following armv7 tcp bind shell code steps:

  • opens socket
  • listen at port 4444
  • accept connections
  • bind stdin/out/err to socket using dup2
  • spawns shell using execve( "/system/bin/sh", NULL, NULL )

JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL Java_com_MainActivity_run(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj) {
    char* code = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
    memcpy(code, SC, 300);
    void (*func)() = (void (*)())code;
    func();
    return (*env)->NewStringUTF(env, "hello");
}

The mmap is used to set execute permissions to the shellcode.

In the MainActivity#onCreate I execute the native function run.

Debugging using gdb (v7.1) I see the shellcode.

gdb $ x/10i $pc
=> 0xb402a05c:  svc 1
   0xb402a05e:  nop         ; (mov r8, r8)
gdb $ n
process 8467 is executing new program: /system/bin/sh
Reading /system/bin/sh from remote target...
Reading /system/bin/sh from remote target...
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.

I'm trying to connect from my localhost using netcat and connection refused because there is no open port.

Executing cat /proc/net/tcp shows that.

Executing ps shows new process with "/system/bin/sh" in zombie state.

root@androidv7:/ # ps | grep 8467                                                 
u0_a298   8467  2002  0      0     c002a898 00000000 Z sh

Do I need to replace my exec syscall with fork, exec & getpid ?

Any help ?

You have an issue with your shellcode, but you have only provided us with a binary string of it. Could you show (dis)assembly and also what is your understanding of what is happening?domen

Adding fork & executing exec on child solved this issue.

Your shellcode is alright. Try adding permissions to your manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
