C library that is intended for providing methods for executing and injecting code.

Features

  • Supports different ways of loading executable files in-memory.
  • Supports most common executable file formats: ELF, PE and Mach-O.
  • Lightweight and small library that can be ported to almost every single program.

API usage

#include <pawn.h>

Mach-O

Execute main function from Mach-O bundle from buffer and pass argv and env as arguments.

int pawn_exec_bundle(usigned char *bundle, size_t size, char *argv[], char *env[]);

ELF

Execute ELF from buffer and pass argv and env to it.

int pawn_exec(unsigned char *elf, char *argv[], char *env[])

NOTE: This method does not work for statically linked targets since it uses dynamic interpreter as a part of ELF loading chain.

Write ELF to the file descriptor from buffer and execute it.

int pawn_exec_fd(unsigned char *elf, char *argv[], char *env[])
