EmbedInHTML – Embed and hide any file in an HTML file


iSpeech

What this tool does is taking a file (any type of file), encrypt it, and embed it into an HTML file as ressource, along with an automatic download routine simulating a user clicking on the embedded ressource.
Then, when the user browses the HTML file, the embedded file is decrypted on the fly, saved in a temporary folder, and the file is then presented to the user as if it was being downloaded from the remote site. Depending on the user's browser and the file type presented, the file can be automatically opened by the browser.
This tool comes in two flavors, providing the same overall functionnality but with some slight changes in the way of using it:
  1. AnĀ python scriptĀ which generates the output HTML file based on a template, usingĀ RC4 encryptionĀ routines, and embedding the decryption key within the output file. The resulting HTML can either be browsed by the targeted user or sent as an attachement.
  2. AnĀ HTML/JavascriptĀ that you can drag the file into be encrypted to, which generates the output HTML file, using theĀ WebCrypto API, but NOT embedding the decryption material (key and counter). Instead, the decryption material is displayed as a set of URL parameters to be added into a URL pointing to the HTML resulting file:
    http(s)://hosting.server.com/result.html#hexencodedkey!hexencodedcounter

    . So the resulting HTML file cannot be sent as an attachment. The main advantage of this technique is that the decryption material is not embedded into the file itself, hence preventingĀ analysisĀ and even retrieval of the payload by any system which doesn't have the full URL (eg: intercepting proxy)

Side notes:

Usage
Few payload examples files are provided in theĀ payloads_examplesĀ directory. For instance the
calc.xllĀ is an Excel add-in (XLL) file that contains aĀ metasploitĀ shellcode forĀ x86Ā processesĀ to launch theĀ calc.exeĀ process.

Using the python script
1/ Generate the malicious html file from the XLL file, along with a secret key:

python embedInHTML.py -k mysecretkey -f example_calc.xll -o index.html

2/ Expose the html file on a web server (one can be optionnaly started for you with the-wĀ flag)

Using the HTML/Javascript
1/ Open the embedInHTML.html file within a browser
2/ Simply drag the payload file into the page (you can optionnaly change the output file name)
3/ Save the resulting file and take note of the decryption material as URL parameters to be added to the file name in the form:





http(s)://hosting.server.com/result.html#hexencodedkey!hexencodedcounter

Eventually...
Point the target's browser to the html file and let the magic happen:
