Set of tools for creating/injecting payload into images.
Useful references for better understanding of pixload and its use-cases:
- Bypassing CSP using polyglot JPEGs
- Hacking group using Polyglot images to hide malvertising attacks
- Encoding Web Shells in PNG IDAT chunks
- An XSS on Facebook via PNGs & Wonky Content Types
- Revisiting XSS payloads in PNG IDAT chunks
If you want to encode a payload in such a way that the resulting binary blob is both valid x86 shellcode and a valid image file, I recommend you to look here and here.
SETUP
The following Perl modules are required:
- GD
- Image::ExifTool
- String::CRC32
On Debian-based systems install these packages:
sudo apt install libgd-perl libimage-exiftool-perl libstring-crc32-perl
On OSX please refer to this workaround (thnx 2 @iosdec).
