Outs1d3r-Net / WALK_WebAssembly_Lure_Krafter

A web assembly (WASM) phishing lure generator based on pre-built templates and written in Rust with some GenAI assistance. W.A.L.K. aims at aiding with initial access during red teams and phishing exercises leveraging WASM smuggling techniques.

What, Why?

This is the tool I developed off the back of the recent research I’ve done into crafting web smuggling lures using web assembly. You can read the accompanying blogpost "WASM Smuggling for Initial Access and W.A.L.K. Tool Release" on JUMPSEC Labs.

Setup

Install Rust

Install Rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

# source the corresponding env file under $HOME/.cargo
. "$HOME/.cargo/env"   

Install wasm-pack and wasm-bindgen-cli

cargo install -f wasm-pack wasm-bindgen-cli

# add cargo to path
# zshrc
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc
# bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

🚧 For Arch / Manjaro users

Install base-devel dependency first sudo pacman -Syu && sudo pacman -S base-devel

Open New Terminal or use Source command to enable wasm-pack binary path

# replace with zshrc if you are using zsh
source ~/.bashrc

Clone, Build and Run W.A.L.K.

git clone https://github.com/JumpsecLabs/WALK_WebAssembly_Lure_Krafter.git
cd WALK_WebAssembly_Lure_Krafter

From the project's root folder run:

cargo run

Use

The Web Assembly Lure Krafter is quite straightforward to use. Just execute cargo run from the project’s folder. The tool will ask you to select a lure to generate.

Select the lure template you want to use, then the tool will ask you to enter the following:

• Select the lure to generate.
• Enter the payload’s extension. This can be anything but should match the extension of your payload.
• Enter the absolute file path of the payload to smuggle.
• Enter the payload name (without the extension at the end).

The tool will then compile and generate a lure based on the template selected and embed the payload file you provided the path for.

Each lure that W.A.L.K. generates is stored in a sub-directory of the `results/` directory, presenting a timestamp and a random string in the name. The generated lure will consist in a single `index.html` file stored in its timestamped sub-directory contained in `results/`. The `index.html` is the only file you will need as it contains the Web Assembly lure and the payload embedded within it.

This file can be sent over email or chat without triggering anti-virus scans or security measures, effectively flying under the radar at the time of writing. To the end-user is left the arduous task to determine the best way to share their lures.

Lure Templates

W.A.L.K. comes pre-packed with some lures, namely:

• Google Chrome Update
• One Drive File Download
• Sample

However, as described next, it is possible to add extra lure templates to the tool and use them in your engagement. At the moment, these are the lure I developed for the tool:

Google Chrome Update

This lure was designed to simulate a Google Chrome browser update request from an I.T. department. The payload download is triggered when the “Update Chrome” button is clicked.

One Drive File Download

This web assembly lure was designed to simulate a OneDrive file download. The lure presents the screen shown below and sleeps for 4 seconds before automatically downloading the payload.

Sample

It’s just a sample web page with no contents that automatically downloads the payloads you embedded in it.

Modularity

W.A.L.K. was designed to be modular and be able to create new lures based on template files located in lure_templates/ . By adding more lures in the lure_templates/ directory it is possible to then call the template from the tool’s menu by adding an entry to it in src/main.rs.

Once you add a .rs template file in lure_templates/, modify the src/main.rs file’s menu by adding an entry for the new template in fn main():

The menu entry will trigger the searching for the relevant file using the following logic.

This means that if you add a menu entry such as "New Lure" and then select it from the menu, W.A.L.K. will go look for a file names "new_lure.rs" file inside the `lure_templates/` directory. For example, when selecting the “Google Chrome Update” lure from the menu, W.A.L.K. will look for `google_chrome_update.rs` in the `lure_templates/` directory.
