From Zero to Root: Python Scripts That Break Systems
“Exploit frameworks are great—until they’re patched. Write your own and you patch nothing.”
Why Every Hacker Needs Custom Exploits
Off-the-shelf exploits get flagged. But Python gives you the control to:
- Manipulate memory
- Exploit misconfigurations
- Chain vulnerabilities into full-blown exploits
Top 5 Python Exploits You’ll Code from Scratch
These are hands-on red-team projects we build at HackersvellA during exploitation labs.
1. OverflowX – Stack Buffer Overflow Exploiter
- ? Identify and exploit buffer overflow in C-based apps
- ? Use
structto craft payloads and overwrite EIP - ? Automate shellcode injection with msfvenom or custom shellcode
? Tip: Pair with pwntools for faster exploitation.
2. ShellStormer – Reverse Shell Generator
- ? Create custom reverse shells for Windows, Linux, Mac
- ?️♂️ Evade detection using Base64/ROT13 encoding
- ? Auto port-bind and connect back to C2
? Use PyInstaller + UPX for compacting the executable.
3. SambaBleed – CVE Exploit Replication
- ? Replicate older CVEs (e.g. EternalBlue, SambaCry)
- ? Scan target for vulnerability signatures
- ? Trigger exploit and upload shell payload
? Extend to Metasploit-compatible modules using python-msfrpc.
4. PHPInjector – RCE via File Upload
- ? Exploit misconfigured file upload points
- ? Inject PHP webshells through fake image headers
- ? Trigger remote code execution from browser
? Chain with directory traversal for full system pwnage.
5. XploitChainz – Multi-Stage Exploit Chain Builder
- ? Combine LFI + Upload + Command Injection
- ⚙ Automate execution in logical sequence
- ? Supports custom payload templates
? Add webhook alerts on successful exploitation.
Phase 3 @ HackersvellA: You Code Exploits That Drop Shells
You’ll also learn:
- Fuzzing techniques to discover new vulnerabilities
- Writing Python PoCs from CVE databases
- Automating exploitation using Python + Bash
Exploiters don’t wait for tools—they write history.
