BadAssMacros: C# based automated Malicous Macro Generator
BadAssMacros
Proof of Concept tool to generate malicious macros leveraging techniques like VBA Purging and Shellcode Obfuscation to evade AV engines.
This tool takes in raw shellcode that can be generated by popular C2 frameworks like (Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, etc) and outputs a VBA macro.
The tool takes in the malicious doc/excel file ready and embedded with the generated VBA code and performs VBA purging.
Current Features
BadAssMacros features currently include:
- Classic VBA shellcode injection.
- Indirect VBA shellcode injection (using LoadLibrary).
- Sandbox Detection.
- VBA Purging.
- Shellcode obfuscation.
- Variable name Randomization.
Shellcode Injection Techniques
Detection
BadAssMacro was tested against local Antivirus solutions and online services like antiscan.me. The results of testing the same using the Indirect shellcode execution method is attached below.
