Capability summary

FeatureDescription
AF_VSOCK / Hyper-V channelUses hypervisor sockets to connect Linux guest and Windows host without going through TCP/IP.
Per-session encryptionGenerates a 1-byte XOR key per run to encrypt the payload before sending it.
Fileless deliveryShellcode in clear-text only ever lives in host memory; no extra binaries are written to NTFS.
Dynamic service registrationCreates and configures the GuestCommunicationServices registry key in Windows at runtime.
Indirect executionUses EnumSystemLocalesA as a callback to execute shellcode without CreateThread.
WSL2 awarenessAutomatically discovers the active WSL instance GUID using hcsdiag.

Notes

  • Traveler is not meant to be an all-in-one framework; it is a PoC focused on one very specific delivery and injection flow.
  • The actual payload (shellcode) is agnostic: the only requirement is being PIC in raw format.
