# execute_assembly - Execute .NET Assembly in Remote Process
Execute a .NET Assembly in a remote process and retrieve its output.
## Description
The `execute_assembly` command converts a .NET assembly to shellcode using Donut and injects it into a remote process (or the current process if no target is specified). The assembly is executed in the target process and its output is captured and returned.
## Syntax
```
execute_assembly -Assembly <assembly_file> -Arguments <args>
```
## Parameters
- `-Assembly` or `assembly_name` (required): Name of an already uploaded .NET assembly (e.g., `SharpUp.exe`)
- `assembly_file` (required for new uploads): A new .NET assembly file to upload and execute
- `-Arguments` or `assembly_arguments` (required): Arguments to pass to the assembly
## Examples
```
# Execute assembly with arguments
execute_assembly -Assembly SharpUp.exe -Arguments "audit"
# Execute Seatbelt with all checks
execute_assembly -Assembly Seatbelt.exe -Arguments "all"
# Execute SharpHound for domain enumeration
execute_assembly -Assembly SharpHound.exe -Arguments "-c All -d domain.local"
```
## Features
- **Shellcode Conversion**: Automatically converts .NET assemblies to shellcode using Donut
- **Process Injection**: Injects shellcode into a target process (defaults to current process)
- **Output Capture**: Captures and returns assembly output
- **No File System**: Assembly is executed entirely in memory without writing to disk
## How It Works
1. The command retrieves the .NET assembly from Mythic
2. The assembly is converted to shellcode using Donut
3. A subtask is created to call `inject_shellcode` with the generated shellcode
4. The shellcode is injected into the target process
5. The .NET assembly is loaded and executed in the target process
6. Output is captured and returned to Mythic
## Output
```
[execute_assembly] Converting .NET Assembly to Shellcode...
[execute_assembly] Shellcode generated: 123456 bytes
[execute_assembly] Injecting shellcode into process...
[Assembly Output]
SharpUp execution started...
[*] Checking for insecure file permissions...
[+] Found: C:\Program Files\Vulnerable Service\service.exe
```
## OPSEC Considerations
- **HIGH OPSEC RISK**: Process injection is heavily monitored by EDR/XDR solutions
- **Shellcode Injection**: Donut shellcode injection may trigger behavioral detections
- **Process Create Artifact**: Creates a "Process Create" artifact
- **Memory Scanning**: Injected shellcode may be scanned by EDR memory protection
- **API Monitoring**: Process injection APIs (VirtualAllocEx, WriteProcessMemory, CreateRemoteThread) are monitored
- **Donut Detection**: Donut shellcode patterns may be detected by advanced security solutions
## Technical Details
### Donut Integration
The command uses Donut to convert .NET assemblies to position-independent shellcode:
- Automatically handles .NET assembly loading
- Supports .NET Framework and .NET Core assemblies
- Generates position-independent shellcode
- Handles assembly dependencies
### Process Injection
The shellcode injection process:
1. Shellcode is generated from the .NET assembly
2. Shellcode is registered as a temporary file in Mythic
3. `inject_shellcode` command is called via subtask
4. Shellcode is injected into the target process
5. Assembly executes and output is captured
## Error Handling
The command handles various error scenarios:
- **Assembly Not Found**: Returns error if assembly file cannot be retrieved
- **Donut Conversion Failure**: Returns error if assembly cannot be converted to shellcode
- **Injection Failure**: Returns error if shellcode cannot be injected
- **Execution Failure**: Returns error if assembly fails to execute

# inline_execute - Execute Beacon Object File (BOF)
Execute a Beacon Object File (BOF) in the current process thread and capture its output.
## Description
The `inline_execute` command loads and executes a COFF (Common Object File Format) file, commonly known as a Beacon Object File (BOF), directly in the memory of the current process. BOFs are lightweight, position-independent code objects that can be executed without creating new processes, making them useful for stealthy operations.
## Syntax
```
inline_execute -BOF <bof_file> [-Arguments <arguments>]
```
## Parameters
- `-BOF` or `bof_name` (required): Name of an already uploaded BOF file (e.g., `whoami.x64.o`)
- `bof_file` (required for new uploads): A new BOF file to upload and execute
- `-Arguments` or `bof_arguments` (optional): Arguments to pass to the BOF
### Argument Types
BOF arguments can be specified using the following format:
- `int16:123` or `-s:123` - 16-bit integer
- `int32:1234` or `-i:1234` - 32-bit integer
- `string:hello` or `-z:hello` - Null-terminated string
- `wchar:hello` or `-Z:hello` - Wide character string
- `base64:abc==` or `-b:abc==` - Base64-encoded binary data
## Examples
```
# Execute a BOF with no arguments
inline_execute -BOF whoami.x64.o
# Execute a BOF with integer argument
inline_execute -BOF listmods.x64.o -Arguments int32:1234
# Execute a BOF with multiple arguments
inline_execute -BOF netstat.x64.o -Arguments int32:4 string:TCP
# Upload and execute a new BOF
inline_execute -BOF custom_bof.x64.o -Arguments int32:5678
```
## Features
- **In-Memory Execution**: BOFs are executed directly in the current process memory without creating new processes
- **COFF Loader**: Full COFF loader implementation supporting x64 BOFs with relocations and symbol resolution
- **Beacon API Compatibility**: Compatible with Cobalt Strike BOF API (BeaconPrintf, BeaconOutput, etc.)
- **Output Capture**: Automatically captures and returns BOF output
- **Argument Parsing**: Supports multiple argument types (int16, int32, string, wchar, base64)
## Output
```
[inline_execute] BOF execution requested
[inline_execute] File ID: abc123...
[inline_execute] Arguments: int32:1234
[BOF Output]
Module Name: ntdll.dll
Base Address: 0x7ffa12340000
Size: 0x1f0000
```
## OPSEC Considerations
- **Process Create Artifact**: BOF execution creates a "Process Create" artifact that is logged
- **Memory Allocation**: BOFs allocate executable memory which may be detected by EDR solutions
- **API Hooking**: Some EDR solutions monitor API calls that BOFs make
- **Symbol Resolution**: External symbol resolution (LoadLibraryA, GetProcAddress) may be logged
- **No New Process**: Unlike `shell` or `execute_assembly`, BOFs execute in-process, reducing some detection vectors
## Technical Details
### COFF Loader
The COFF loader implementation:
- Supports x64 COFF files (IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_AMD64)
- Handles relocations (IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR64, IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32NB, IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32)
- Resolves internal Beacon API functions
- Resolves external symbols via LoadLibraryA/GetProcAddress
- Maps sections with PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE permissions
### Beacon API Compatibility
The following Beacon API functions are supported:
- `BeaconPrintf` - Formatted output
- `BeaconOutput` - Raw output
- `BeaconDataParse` - Parse input data
- `BeaconDataInt`, `BeaconDataShort`, `BeaconDataExtract` - Data extraction
- `BeaconUseToken`, `BeaconRevertToken` - Token manipulation
- `BeaconIsAdmin` - Admin check
## Error Handling
The command handles various error scenarios:
- **File Not Found**: Returns error if BOF file cannot be retrieved from Mythic
- **Invalid COFF**: Returns error if file is not a valid COFF or unsupported architecture
- **Symbol Resolution Failure**: Warns if external symbols cannot be resolved
- **Execution Failure**: Returns error if BOF entry point cannot be found or execution fails

# inline_execute_assembly - Execute .NET Assembly In-Process
Execute a .NET Assembly in the current process using the Inline-EA BOF (Beacon Object File).
## Description
The `inline_execute_assembly` command executes a .NET assembly directly in the current process memory using the Inline-EA BOF developed by @EricEsquivel. This method loads and executes .NET assemblies without creating new processes, providing better OPSEC than traditional process spawning methods.
## Syntax
```
inline_execute_assembly -Assembly <assembly_file> [-Arguments <args>] [--patchexit] [--amsi] [--etw]
```
## Parameters
- `-Assembly` or `assembly_name` (required): Name of an already uploaded .NET assembly (e.g., `SharpUp.exe`)
- `assembly_file` (required for new uploads): A new .NET assembly file to upload and execute
- `-Arguments` or `assembly_arguments` (optional): Arguments to pass to the assembly
- `--patchexit` or `patch_exit` (optional, default: false): Patch `System.Environment.Exit` to prevent the Beacon process from exiting
- `--amsi` or `amsi` (optional, default: false): Bypass AMSI by patching `clr.dll` instead of `amsi.dll` to avoid common detections
- `--etw` or `etw` (optional, default: false): Bypass ETW by EAT hooking `advapi32.dll!EventWrite` to point to a function that returns immediately
## Examples
```
# Execute assembly with arguments
inline_execute_assembly -Assembly SharpUp.exe -Arguments "audit"
# Execute with AMSI and ETW bypass
inline_execute_assembly -Assembly Seatbelt.exe -Arguments "all" --amsi --etw
# Execute with all bypasses enabled
inline_execute_assembly -Assembly SharpHound.exe -Arguments "-c All" --patchexit --amsi --etw
```
## Features
- **In-Process Execution**: Executes .NET assemblies in the current process without spawning new processes
- **AMSI Bypass**: Optional AMSI bypass by patching clr.dll (more evasive than patching amsi.dll)
- **ETW Bypass**: Optional ETW bypass via EAT hooking
- **Exit Patch**: Prevents assemblies from calling `System.Environment.Exit` and terminating the agent
- **Output Capture**: Automatically captures and returns assembly output
- **BOF-Based**: Uses the Inline-EA BOF under the hood (executed via `inline_execute`)
## How It Works
1. The command creates a subtask that calls `inline_execute` with the Inline-EA BOF
2. The .NET assembly is passed to the BOF as raw bytes
3. The BOF loads the assembly into memory using .NET CLR APIs
4. Optional bypasses (AMSI, ETW) are applied if requested
5. The assembly's entry point is executed with the provided arguments
6. Output is captured and returned to Mythic
## Output
```
[inline_execute_assembly] Assembly execution requested
[BOF Output from Inline-EA]
SharpUp execution started...
[*] Checking for insecure file permissions...
[*] Checking for unquoted service paths...
[+] Found: C:\Program Files\Vulnerable Service\service.exe
```
## OPSEC Considerations
- **Process Create Artifact**: Assembly execution creates a "Process Create" artifact
- **CLR Loading**: Loading .NET assemblies into memory may be detected by EDR solutions
- **AMSI Bypass**: Patching clr.dll for AMSI bypass may trigger behavioral detections
- **ETW Bypass**: EAT hooking may be detected by advanced EDR solutions
- **No New Process**: Executes in-process, reducing some detection vectors compared to `execute_assembly`
- **Memory Allocation**: Allocates executable memory for the assembly, which may be scanned
## Technical Details
### Inline-EA BOF
This command uses the Inline-EA BOF developed by @EricEsquivel:
- GitHub: https://github.com/EricEsquivel/Inline-EA
- Loads .NET assemblies directly into memory
- Supports AMSI and ETW bypasses
- Prevents assembly from exiting the process
### Bypass Options
- **--patchexit**: Patches `System.Environment.Exit` to prevent the assembly from terminating the agent process
- **--amsi**: Bypasses AMSI by patching `clr.dll` instead of `amsi.dll` (more evasive)
- **--etw**: Bypasses ETW by hooking `advapi32.dll!EventWrite` via Export Address Table (EAT) hooking
## Error Handling
The command handles various error scenarios:
- **Assembly Not Found**: Returns error if assembly file cannot be retrieved from Mythic
- **BOF Execution Failure**: Returns error if Inline-EA BOF cannot be executed
- **Assembly Load Failure**: Returns error if .NET assembly cannot be loaded
- **Bypass Failure**: May fail silently if bypasses cannot be applied
