Why you need InjectPE?

• You can test your security products.
• Use in a phishing campaign.
• Learn how PE injection works.
• ...and so on.

In the project, there is hardcoded x-code of MessageBoxA, you can change it.

Download

Windows x86 binary - Hardcoded MessageBoxA x-code, only for demos.

Dependencies:

vc_redist.x86 - Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

Usage

.\InfectPE.exe .\input.exe .\out.exe code

X-code is injected into code section, this method is more stealthy, but sometimes there is no enough space in the code section.

.\InfectPE.exe .\input.exe .\out.exe largest

X-code is injected into a section with the largest number of zeros, using this method you can inject bigger x-code. This method modifies characteristics of the section and is a bit more suspicious.

.\InfectPE.exe .\input.exe .\out.exe resize

Expand the size of code section and inject x-code. This technique, like "code" one, is less suspicious, also you can inject much bigger x-code.

In the patched file, ASLR and NX are disabled, for the more technical information you can analyze VS project.

Please, don't use with packed or malformed executables.
