Description
EternalBlue exploit for Windows 8, Windows 10, and 2012 by sleepya
The exploit might FAIL and CRASH a target system (depended on what is overwritten)
The exploit support only x64 target
Tested on:
- Windows 2012 R2 x64
- Windows 8.1 x64
- Windows 10 Pro Build 10240 x64
- Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation Build 10586 x64
Default Windows 8 and later installation without additional service info:
- anonymous is not allowed to access any share (including IPC$)
- More info: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3034016/ipc-share-and-null-session-behavior-in-windows
- tcp port 445 is filtered by firewall

Exploit info:
- If you do not know how exploit for Windows 7/2008 work. Please read my exploit for Windows 7/2008 at
https://gist.github.com/worawit/bd04bad3cd231474763b873df081c09a because the trick for exploit is almost the same
- The exploit use heap of HAL for placing fake struct (address 0xffffffffffd00e00) and shellcode (address 0xffffffffffd01000).
On Windows 8 and Wndows 2012, the NX bit is set on this memory page. Need to disable it before controlling RIP.
- The exploit is likely to crash a target when it failed
- The overflow is happened on nonpaged pool so we need to massage target nonpaged pool.
- If exploit failed but target does not crash, try increasing 'GroomAllocations' value (at least 5)
- See the code and comment for exploit detail.
Disable NX method:
- The idea is from "Bypassing Windows 10 kernel ASLR (remote) by Stefan Le Berre" (see link in reference)
- The exploit is also the same but we need to trigger bug twice
- First trigger, set MDL.MappedSystemVa to target pte address
- Write '\x00' to disable the NX flag
- Second trigger, do the same as Windows 7 exploit
- From my test, if exploit disable NX successfully, I always get code execution
