Readclient shellcode is the obvious way to go when doing ISAPI. The 
retrieval
of the connection ID is in most cases not a problem -- very few ISAPI's I've 
seen
overflow in a different thread than the one that went through 
HttpExtensionProc.
In that case, unless you're very unlucky, your ESP is still intact, and 
unless you
_really_ smashed the stack (e.g. memcpy(,,-1)) you will have no problem 
retrieving
the lpECB from [ESP+static_offset]. Remember that stack frame sizes are 
constant
for a given executable, and that you can just rely on a value you figured 
out in your
own debugger here. Of yourse, you have to adjust 1 offset in the shellcode 
to make
it work for different targets.

The idea is that you can in many situations find a socket handle or 
equivalent if
you look upwards on the stack a bit. All the local variables of the entire 
chain of
functions calling you should be there, and at static offsets -- thus your 
shellcode can
access all local variables of all the functions in that chain as it's own 
local variables.

I have to admit that I never actually sat down to properly write 
GOcode-style shellcode,
although there are a bunch of situations where it is clearly of use 
(asymetric situations where
the original socket handle is gone and you just want _any_ socket to a box 
you control).
Somebody please figure out the art of cloning yourself for enhanced 
productivity :(

Concerning cryptographic shellcode: If you don't intend to have decent 
compatibility
(e.g. if you just want to attack windows boxes from windows boxes, and not 
windows
from linux) MS's crypto api is very convenient for properly encrypting any 
communication
between you and the owned box. I like convenient API's.

Cheers,
Halvar
