Smoochum : A Miniature Version Of The (In)famous Jynx Rootkit

How To Compile It ?

gcc smoochum.c -fPIC -shared -D_GNU_SOURCE -o libc.man.so.6 -ldl

Let's break down the command :

• gcc : Our very own GNU Compiler Collection
• smoochum.c : The name of our program (Get the pokemon refernce ?)
• -fPIC : Generate position-independent code
• shared : Create a Shared Object which can be linked with other objects to produce an executable
• -D_GNU_SOURCE : It is specified to satisfy #ifdef conditions that allow us to use the RTLD_NEXT enum. Optionally this flag can be replaced by adding #define _GNU_SOURCE
• -o : Create an output file
• libc.man.so.6 : Name of output file
• -ldl : Link against libdl

Functions Hooked :

• ssize_t write(int fd, const void *buf, size_t count) : To Provide Reverse or Bind Shell as per trigger
• FILE *fopen(const char *pathname, const char *mode); To Hide netstat and lsof connections
• struct dirent *readdir(DIR *dirp); : To Hide our so file from ls

Note : The variants of these functions are provided incase the file sizes are large

To-Do :

• Add SSL Encryption
• Test and Debug IPv6 compatibilty
• Hide our Shared Object from ldd
• MORE !
