SharpShooter
A payload creation framework for generating and executing C# code payloads with anti-evasion capabilities for offensive security operations.
SharpShooter Description
SharpShooter is a payload creation framework designed for retrieving and executing arbitrary C# source code in offensive security operations. The framework utilizes James Forshaw's DotNetToJavaScript tool to invoke methods from serialized .NET objects, enabling flexible payload deployment strategies. SharpShooter supports multiple delivery mechanisms including web-based and DNS-based payload retrieval, with compatibility for the MDSec ActiveBreach PowerDNS project for DNS delivery operations. The tool can generate both staged payloads that retrieve code remotely and stageless payloads with embedded shellcode execution capabilities across various scripting formats. Security evasion features include RC4 encryption with randomized keys for basic anti-virus bypass, sandbox detection capabilities, and environment keying functionality to avoid analysis in security research environments. The framework includes predefined C# templates specifically designed for shellcode execution in both staged and stageless payload configurations.
