Description

Encodes a payload in such a way that the resulting binary blob is both valid x86 shellcode and a valid bitmap image file (.bmp). The selected bitmap file to inject into must use the BM (Windows 3.1x/95/NT) header and the 40-byte Windows 3.1x/NT BITMAPINFOHEADER. Additionally the file must use either 24 or 32 bits per pixel as the color depth and no compression. This encoder makes absolutely no effort to remove any invalid characters.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
