Re: WinExec payload?

[Abuse007 <abuse007 () gmail com>]

Hi Jun,

I haven't looked into metasploit's WinExec shellcode but it is probably working out the addresses of the functions in 
the libraries that it needs. The addresses of breakpoints you are setting and the calculated addresses might not match. 
The shellcode could be calling a little past the function prologue. Try setting the break points further into the 
functions.

Also in general some functions are merely wrappers around others, so break on the lowest level function. 

Msf may have source code or documentation on the shellcode. Otherwise disassemble it and have a look at how it is 
working.

I may be missing something myself, but I hope the above helps.
