Program uses Thread Hijacking to Inject Native Shellcode into a Standard Win32 Application.

I developed this small project to continue my experiences of different code injection methods and to allow RedTeam security professionals to utilize this method as a unique way to perform software penetration testing. With Thread hijacking, it allows the hijacker.exe program to susepend a thread within the target.exe program allowing us to write shellcode to that target thread, and later be executed (via; WriteProcessMemory(), SetThreadContext(), ResumeThread(), CreateThread()).

int main(){	System sys;	Interceptor incp;	Exception exp;	sys.returnVersionState();	if (sys.returnPrivilegeEscalationState())	{		std::cout << "Token Privileges Adjusted\n";	}		if (DWORD m_procId = incp.FindWin32ProcessId((PCHAR)m_win32ProcessName))	{		incp.ExecuteWin32Shellcode(m_procId);	}	system("PAUSE");	return 0;}

This code was simply written to demonstrate an overlooked method to inject shellcode or a DLL into a Win32 program. This code is not to be used for malicous purposes. The author, Josh Schiavone, is not liable for misuse of this software. May God bless you all.
