This one year old post has been bothering me.
I felt great discomfort someone hasn't been demented enough to do HTTP stuff as close to the metal as possible with the Windows sockets API (in regards to malware stuff).
I'm not done yet, this code is ... sort of(?) ... in a debug state.
This code connects to HTTPBin, performs a TLS handshake, verifies the web certificate, then performs a simple HTTP GET. The way my code is organized the stage is set to perform HTTP POST to demonstrate data exfiltration to a remote HTTP host.
The next step is basically taking a file, reading it to memory, then uploading it to a remote host and ensuring it was received successfully.
Following the completion of the HTTP post, I'll transform the entire code base into being more position independent. In other words, trying to recreate Windows APIs (like QueryContextAttributesW) to avoid unnecessary (not really "unnecessary", but less hooking opportunities, looks unusual) abstractions. I'll also manually recreate GetProcAddress and do string hashing because ???
When I'm done with this low-level Windows socket C HTTP post example, this code base will probably be well over 3,000 lines of code.
tl;dr 3,000 lines of C or 12 lines of Python code (I tested it, it's literally 12 lines of Python code).
The code so far:

My baby boy is the difficult age where he is learning several things simultaneously:
- How to grow teeth
- How to crawl
- Proto-communication
If you've never had a child, around 7 - 9 months (or later, each baby is different, but that's the average-average) babies will begin proto-communication.
They've picked up on people talking, and communicating back and forth, they understand the concept of sentence structure and vocal inflection being indicative of a question. They—understand—you—pausing—between—words, or pausing and waiting for someone to reply back verbally.
My baby boy now tries to join in conversations because he doesn't want to feel left out. He doesn't understand we're having a conversation, he doesn't even understand words, but he understands the "prototype of communication", hence now, seemingly out of nowhere, he inserts himself into our conversations by screaming like a psychopath and babbling incoherent nonsense.
He favorite "word" is blowing raspberries (pressing your lips together and blowing) and "ge-ge-ge" (think of the GE in "geese") or quite literally screaming as loud as he can.
Another interesting thing about proto-communication is he tries to initiate conversations now. Unfortunately, he does not possess manners. Additionally, he does not respect me as a person, place, or thing. This results in him attempting to start conversations with me, while I'm asleep, at 3 in the morning.
It's very interesting watching my baby boy grow. I remember when my wife first got pregnant and we confirmed the pregnancy visually via ultrasound. He was tiny, probably no greater than the size of a pea. His fetus kind of looked like a little sea horse, or something, and under the ultra sound we could see his little heart beating.
Now we look at him. He is much larger than a pea. He no longer looks like a sea horse (thankfully). He is screaming in my face at 3 in the morning because he wants to "talk". If he isn't screaming at my face at 3 in the morning, he's practicing his hand-eye coordination by trying to feed himself ... by putting food all over his face ... or in his pants ... or in his hair ...
As difficult as it can be being a parent, and as much as you "suffer", there is something oddly rejuvenating about the experience and it somehow (in ways I don't understand yet) makes you feel young again.

Okay, I'm done schizo ranting about being a Dad.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming of malware and kitty cats.
I just wanted to share this with someone, even if it means screaming into the void of the internet, because I don't have many friends in real life anymore who I can schizo rant about stuff to (I'm old).

I was watching this YouTube video of this Russian dude who traveled to North Korea to go sightseeing.
North Korea is notoriously strict on what visitors can and cannot do. Throughout most of the trip he risked his own safety by illegally filming around North Korea on his cell phone.
At one point during the trip he managed to sneak away from his appointed North Korean tour guide. He approached a group of people sitting down, ... just kind of hanging around ..., doing something.
They were very friendly to him.
During the conversation he asked them what they'd like to do in the future. One of the men said, "I hope some day to travel. I really want to see Yugoslavia"
The fuckin' Russian guy looked at him like this when he said "Yugoslavia"

For those who don't get it because they're unfamiliar with Europe, or history, or live under a rock like Patrick Star: Yugoslavia hasn't existed since 1992.

My post about the Russian dude visiting North Korea has escaped my core audience and I've got a bunch of random people being like, "PfffT tHaT dIdNt HaPpEn"
What the fuck?
Do you think I'm some kind of anti-North Korean account and I'm dedicating my free time to anti-North Korean posts?
Why would I (or anyone for the matter) go out of their way to lie about something visually documented on YouTube?
Whenever I didn't IMMEDIATELY respond for requests to a link for the video, people began being like, "sEe? iT dIdNt HaPpEn!". Yeah, bro. Let me drop everything I'm doing with my work, and my family, to argue with you fucking dorks on the internet.
I know I shouldn't be this annoyed... but there has been a few occasions now where when I mention North Korea I've got a bunch of schizos trying to disprove anything remotely critical of North Korea. I can't tell if it's unironically a psyop or deranged basement dwellers.
Here's the video, you jackass:

Hello,
I appreciate everyone who offers to buy me a beer, or something, if I ever attend a cybersecurity conference. I understand the gesture and I understand it is in good faith.
Unfortunately, in a past life I had a pretty bad drinking problem (and kind of a gambling problem). I've been sober for 11 years.
Thank you
