0 Preface

It might be, you demand to comprehend the ways a virus program injects its procedure in to the interior of a portable executable file and corrupts it, or you are interested in implementing a packer or a protector for your specific intention to encrypt the data of your portable executable (PE) file. This article is committed to represent a brief intuition to realize the performance which is accomplished by EXE tools or some kind of mal-wares.

You can employ the source code of this article to create your custom EXE builder. It could be used to make an EXE protector in the right way, or with a wrong intention, to pullulate a virus. However, my purpose of writing this article has been to gaze on the first application, so I will not be responsible for the immoral usage of these methods.

1 Prerequisite

There are no specific mandatory prerequisites to follow the topics in this article. If you are familiar with debugger and also the portable file format, I suggest you to drop the sections 2 and 3, the whole of these sections have been made for people who don’t have any knowledge regarding the EXE file format and also debuggers.

2 Portable Executable file format

The Portable Executable file format was defined to provide the best way for the Windows Operating System to execute code and also to store the essential data which is needed to run a program, for example constant data, variable data, import library links, and resource data. It consists of MS-DOS file information, Windows NT file information, Section Headers, and Section images, Table 1.

2.1 The MS-DOS data

These data let you remember the first days of developing the Windows Operating System, the days. We were at the beginning of a way to achieve a complete Operating System like Windows NT 3.51 (I mean, Win3.1Win95,Win98 were not perfect OSs). The MS-DOS data causes that your executable file calls a function inside MS-DOS and the MS-DOS Stub program lets it display: "This program can not be run in MS-DOS mode" or "This program can be run only in Windows mode", or some things like these comments when you try to run a Windows EXE file inside MS-DOS 6.0, where there is no footstep of Windows. Thus, this data is reserved for the code to indicate these comments in the MS-DOS operating system. The most interesting part of the MS-DOS data is "MZ"! Can you believe, it refers to the name of "Mark Zbikowski", one of the first Microsoft programmers?

To me, only the offset of the PE signature in the MS-DOS data is important, so I can use it to find the position of the Windows NT data. I just recommend you to take a look at Table 1, then observe the structure ofIMAGE_DOS_HEADER in the <winnt.h> header in the <Microsoft Visual Studio .net path>\VC7\PlatformSDK\include\ folder or the <Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 path>\VC98\include\ folder. I do not know why the Microsoft team has forgotten to provide some comment about this structure in the MSDNlibrary!

typedef struct _IMAGE_DOS_HEADER { // DOS .EXE header <FONT color=green>"MZ"</FONT>

    WORD   e_magic;                // Magic number

    WORD   e_cblp;                 // Bytes on last page of file

    WORD   e_cp;                   // Pages in file

    WORD   e_crlc;                 // Relocations

    WORD   e_cparhdr;              // Size of header in paragraphs

    WORD   e_minalloc;             // Minimum extra paragraphs needed

    WORD   e_maxalloc;             // Maximum extra paragraphs needed

    WORD   e_ss;                   // Initial (relative) SS value

    WORD   e_sp;                   // Initial SP value

    WORD   e_csum;                 // Checksum

    WORD   e_ip;                   // Initial IP value

    WORD   e_cs;                   // Initial (relative) CS value

    WORD   e_lfarlc;               // File address of relocation table

    WORD   e_ovno;                 // Overlay number

    WORD   e_res[4];               // Reserved words

    WORD   e_oemid;                // OEM identifier (for e_oeminfo)

    WORD   e_oeminfo;              // OEM information; e_oemid specific

    WORD   e_res2[10];             // Reserved words

    LONG   <FONT color=red>e_lfanew</FONT>;               // File address of the new exe header

  } IMAGE_DOS_HEADER, *PIMAGE_DOS_HEADER;

e_lfanew is the offset which refers to the position of the Windows NT data. I have provided a program to obtain the header information from an EXE file and to display it to you. To use the program, just try:

2.2 The Windows NT data

As mentioned in the preceding section, e_lfanew storage in the MS-DOS data structure refers to the location of the Windows NT information. Hence, if you assume that the pMem pointer relates the start point of the memory space for a selected portable executable file, you can retrieve the MS-DOS header and also the Windows NT headers by the following lines, which you also can perceive in the PE viewer sample (pelib.cpp,PEStructure::OpenFileName()):

IMAGE_DOS_HEADER        image_dos_header;

IMAGE_NT_HEADERS        image_nt_headers;

PCHAR pMem;

…

memcpy(&image_dos_header, pMem, 

       sizeof(IMAGE_DOS_HEADER));

memcpy(&image_nt_headers,

       pMem+image_dos_header.e_lfanew, 

       sizeof(IMAGE_NT_HEADERS));

It seems to be very simple, the retrieval of the headers information. I recommend inspecting the MSDN library regarding the IMAGE_NT_HEADERS structure definition. It makes comprehensible to grasp what the image NT header maintains to execute a code inside the Windows NT OS. Now, you are conversant with the Windows NT structure, it consists of the "PE" Signature, the File Header, and the Optional Header. Do not forget to take a glimpse at their comments in the MSDN Library and besides in Table 1.

One the whole, I consider merely, on the most circumstances, the following cells of the IMAGE_NT_HEADERSstructure:

FileHeader->NumberOfSections

OptionalHeader->AddressOfEntryPoint

OptionalHeader->ImageBase

OptionalHeader->SectionAlignment

OptionalHeader->FileAlignment

OptionalHeader->SizeOfImage

OptionalHeader->

  DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT]->VirtualAddress

OptionalHeader->DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT]->Size

You can observe clearly, the main purpose of these values, and their role when the internal virtual memory space allocated for an EXE file by the Windows OS is fully allocated, if you pay attention to their explanations in MSDNlibrary, so I am not going to repeat the MSDN annotations here.

I should mention a brief comment regarding the PE data directories, or OptionalHeader-> DataDirectory[], as I think there are a few aspects of interest concerning them. When you come to survey the Optional header through the Windows NT information, you will find that there are 16 directories at the end of the Optional Header, where you can find the consecutive directories, including their Relative Virtual Address and Size. I just mention here, the notes from <winnt.h> to clarify these information:

#define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_EXPORT          0 // Export Directory #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT 1 // Import Directory #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_RESOURCE 2 // Resource Directory #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_EXCEPTION 3 // Exception Directory #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_SECURITY 4 // Security Directory #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_BASERELOC 5 // Base Relocation Table #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_DEBUG 6 // Debug Directory #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_ARCHITECTURE 7 // Architecture Specific Data #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_GLOBALPTR 8 // RVA of GP #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_TLS 9 // TLS Directory #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_LOAD_CONFIG 10 // Load Configuration Directory #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_BOUND_IMPORT 11 // Bound Import Directory in headers #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IAT 12 // Import Address Table #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_DELAY_IMPORT 13 // Delay Load Import Descriptors #define IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_COM_DESCRIPTOR 14 // COM Runtime descriptor

The last one (15) was reserved for use in future; I have not yet seen any purpose to use it even in PE64.

For instance, if you desire to perceive the relative virtual address (RVA) and the size of the resource data, it is enough to retrieve them by:

DWORD dwRVA = image_nt_headers.OptionalHeader->

  DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_RESOURCE]->VirtualAddress;

DWORD dwSize = image_nt_headers.OptionalHeader->

  DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_RESOURCE]->Size;

To comprehend more regarding the significance of data directories, I forward you to section 3.4.3, Microsoft Portable Executable and the Common Object File Format Specification document by Microsoft, and furthermore section 6 of this document, where you discern the various types of sections and their applications. We will discuss the section's advantage subsequently.

2.3 The Section Headers and Sections

We currently observe how the portable executable files declare the location and the size of a section on a disk storage file and inside the virtual memory space allocated for the program with IMAGE_NT_HEADERS->OptionalHeader->SizeOfImage by the Windows task manager, as well the characteristics to demonstrate the type of the section. To understand better the Section header as my previous declaration, I suggest having a short gape on the IMAGE_SECTION_HEADER structure definition in the MSDN library. For an EXE packer developer,VirtualSizeVirtualAddressSizeOfRawDataPointerToRawData, and Characteristics cells have significant rules. While developing an EXE packer, you should be clever enough to play with them. There are somethings to be noted while you modify them; you should take care to align the VirtualSize andVirtualAddress according to OptionalHeader->SectionAlignment, as well as SizeOfRawData andPointerToRawData in line with OptionalHeader->FileAlignment. Otherwise, you will corrupt your target EXE file and it will never run. Regarding Characteristics, I pay attention mostly to establish a section byIMAGE_SCN_MEM_READ | IMAGE_SCN_MEM_WRITE | IMAGE_SCN_CNT_INITIALIZED_DATA, I prefer my new section has ability to initialize such data during running process; such as import table; besides, I need it to be able to modify itself by the loader with my settings in the section characteristics to read- and writeable.

Moreover, you should pay attention to the section names, you can know the purpose of each section by its name. I will just forward you to section 6: Microsoft Portable Executable and the Common Object File Format Specification documents. I believe, it represents the totality of sections by their names, Table 2.

Table 2 - Section names

".text" Code Section
"CODE" Code Section of file linked by Borland Delphi or Borland Pascal
".data" Data Section
"DATA" Data Section of file linked by Borland Delphi or Borland Pascal
".rdata" Section for Constant Data
".idata" Import Table
".edata" Export Table
".tls" TLS Table
".reloc" Relocation Information
".rsrc" Resource Information

To comprehend the section headers and also the sections, you can run the sample PE viewer. By this PE viewer, you only can realize the application of the section headers in a file image, so to observe the main significance in the Virtual Memory, you should try to load a PE file by a debugger, and the next section represents the main idea of using the virtual address and –size in the virtual memory by using a debugger. The last note is aboutIMAGE_NT_HEADERS-> FileHeader-><CODE>NumberOfSections, that provides a number of sections in a PE file, do not forget to adjust it whenever you remove or add some sections to a PE file, I am talking about section injection!

3 Debugger, Disassembler and some Useful Tools

In this part, you will become familiar with the necessary and essential equipments to develop your PE tools.

3.1 Debuggers

The first essential prerequisite, to become a PE tools developer, is to have enough experience with bug tracer tools. Furthermore, you should know most of the assembly instructions. To me, the Intel documents are the best references. You can obtain them from the Intel site for IA-32, and on top of that IA-64; the future belongs to IA-64 CPUs, Windows XP 64-bit, and also PE64!

To trace a PE file, SoftICE by Compuware Corporation, I knew it also as named NuMega when I was at high school, is the best debugger in the world. It implements process tracing by using kernel mode method debugging without applying Windows debugging application programming interface (API) functions. In addition, I am going to introduce one perfect debugger in user mode level. It utilizes the Windows debugging API to trace a PE file and also attaches itself to an active process. These API functions have been provided by Microsoft teams, inside the Windows Kernel32 library, to trace a specific process, by using Microsoft tools, or perhaps, to make your own debugger! Some of those API functions inlude: CreateThread()CreateProcess()OpenProcess(),DebugActiveProcess()GetThreadContext()SetThreadContext()ContinueDebugEvent(),DebugBreak()ReadProcessMemory()WriteProcessMemory()SuspendThread(), and ResumeThread().

3.1.1 SoftICE

It was in 1987; Frank Grossman and Jim Moskun decided to establish a company called NuMega Technologies in Nashua, NH, in order to develop some equipments to trace and test the reliability of Microsoft Windows software programs. Now, it is a part of Compuware Corporation and its product has participated to accelerate the reliability in Windows software, and additionally in Windows driver developments. Currently, everyone knows the Compuware DriverStudio which is used to establish an environment for implementing the elaboration of a kernel driver or a system file by aiding the Windows Driver Development Kit (DDK). It bypasses the involvement of DDK to implement a portable executable file of kernel level for a Windows system software developer. For us, only one instrument of DriverStudio is important, SoftICE, this debugger can be used to trace every portable executable file, a PE file for user mode level or a PE file for kernel mode level.

3.1.2 OllyDbg

It was about 4 years ago, that I first saw this debugger by chance. For me, it was the best choice, I was not so wealthy to purchase SoftICE, and at that time, SoftICE only had good functions for DOSWindows 98, andWindows 2000. I found that this debugger supported all kinds of Windows versions. Therefore, I started to learn it very fast, and now it is my favorite debugger for the Windows OS. It is a debugger that can be used to trace all kinds of portable executable files except a Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) file format in user mode level, by using the Windows debugging APIOleh Yuschuk, the author, is one of worthiest software developers I have seen in my life. He is a Ukrainian who now lives in Germany. I should mention here that his debugger is the best choice for hacker and cracker parties around the world! It is a freeware! You can try it from OllyDbg Homepage.

3.1.3 Which parts are important in a debugger interface?

I have introduced two debuggers without talking about how you can employ them, and also which parts you should pay attention more. Regarding using debuggers, I refer you to their instructions in help documents. However, I want to explain shortly the important parts of a debugger; of course, I am talking about low-level debuggers, or in other words, machine-language debuggers of the x86 CPU families.

All of low-level debuggers consist of the following subdivisions:

  1. Registers viewer.

     

    EAX
    ECX
    EDX
    EBX
    ESP
    EBP
    ESI
    EDI
    EIP

    o d t s z a p c

     

  2. Disassembler or Code viewer.

     

    010119E0 PUSH EBP 010119E1 MOV EBP,ESP 010119E3 PUSH -1 010119E5 PUSH 01001570 010119EA PUSH 01011D60 010119EF MOV EAX,DWORD PTR FS:[0] 010119F5 PUSH EAX 010119F6 MOV DWORD PTR FS:[0],ESP 010119FD ADD ESP,-68 01011A00 PUSH EBX 01011A01 PUSH ESI 01011A02 PUSH EDI 01011A03 MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-18],ESP 01011A06 MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-4],0 

     

  3. Memory watcher.

  4. Stack viewer.

  5. Command line, command buttons, or shortcut keys to follow the debugging process.

     

    Command SoftICE OllyDbg
    Run F5 F9
    Step Into F11 F7
    Step Over F10 F8
    Set Break Point F8 F2

     

You can compare Figure 1 and Figure 2 to distinguish the difference between SoftICE and OllyDbg. When you want to trace a PE file, you should mostly consider these five subdivisions. Furthermore, every debugger comprises of some other useful parts; you should discover them by yourself.

3.2 Disassembler

We can consider OllyDbg and SoftICE as excellent disassemblers, but I also want to introduce another disassembler tool which is famous in the reverse engineering world.

3.2.1 Proview disassembler

Proview or PVDasm is an admirable disassembler by the Reverse-Engineering-Community; it is still under development and bug fixing. You can find its disassmbler source engine and employ it to create your own disassembler.

3.2.2 W32Dasm

W32DASM can disassemble both 16 and 32 bit executable file formats. In addition to its disassembling ability, you can employ it to analyze import, export and resource data directories data.

3.2.3 IDA Pro

All reverse-engineering experts know that IDA Pro can be used to investigate, not only x86 instructions, but that of various kinds of CPU types like AVR, PIC, and etc. It can illustrate the assembly source of a portable executable file by using colored graphics and tables, and is very useful for any newbie in this area. Furthermore, it has the capability to trace an executable file inside the user mode level in the same way as OllyDbg.

3.3 Some Useful Tools

A good PE tools developer is conversant with the tools which save his time, so I recommend to select some appropriate instruments to investigate the base information under a portable executable file.

3.3.1 LordPE

LordPE by y0da is still the first choice to retrieve PE file information with the possibility to modify them.

3.3.2 PEiD

PE iDentifier is valuable to identify the type of compilers, packers, and cryptors of PE files. As of now, it can detect more than 500 different signature types of PE files.

3.3.3 Resource Hacker

Resource Hacker can be employed to modify resource directory information; icon, menu, version info, string table, and etc.

3.3.4 WinHex

WinHex, it is clear what you can do with this tool.

3.3.5 CFF Explorer

Eventually, CFF Explorer by Ntoskrnl is what you wish to have as a PE Utility tool in your dream; it supports PE32/64, PE rebuild included Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) file, in other words, the .NET file, a resource modifier, and much more facilities which can not be found in others, just try and discover every unimaginable option by hand.

4 Add new section and Change OEP

We are ready to do the first step of making our project. So I have provided a library to add a new section and rebuild the portable executable file. Before starting, I like you get familiar with the headers of a PE file, by usingOllyDbg. You should first open a PE file, that pops up a menu, View->Executable file, again get a popup menuSpecial->PE header. And you will observe a scene similar to Figure 3. Now, come to Main Menu View->Memory, try to distinguish the sections inside the Memory map window.

 Offset to PE signature

I want to explain how we can plainly change the Offset of Entry Point (OEP) in our sample fileCALC.EXE of Windows XP. First, by using a PE Tool, and also using our PE Viewer, we find OEP, 0x00012475, and Image Base,0x01000000. This value of OEP is the Relative Virtual Address, so the Image Base value is used to convert it to the Virtual Address.

Virtual_Address = Image_Base + Relative_Virtual_Address

DWORD OEP_RVA = image_nt_headers->OptionalHeader.AddressOfEntryPoint ; 

// OEP_RVA = 0x00012475 DWORD OEP_VA = image_nt_headers->OptionalHeader.ImageBase + OEP_RVA ; // OEP_VA = 0x01000000 + 0x00012475 = 0x01012475

PE Maker - Step 1

CALC.EXE - test file

DynLoader(), in loader.cpp, is reserved for the data of the new section, in other words, the Loader.

DynLoader Step 1

__stdcall void DynLoader() { _asm { //---------------------------------- DWORD_TYPE(DYN_LOADER_START_MAGIC) //---------------------------------- MOV EAX,01012475h // << Original OEP JMP EAX //---------------------------------- DWORD_TYPE(DYN_LOADER_END_MAGIC) //---------------------------------- } } 

Unfortunately, this source can only be applied for the sample test file. We should complete it by saving the value of the original OEP in the new section, and use it to reach the real OEP. I have accomplished it in Step 2 (Section 5).

4.1 Retrieve and Rebuild PE file

I have made a simple class library to recover PE information and to use it in a new PE file.

CPELibrary Class Step 1

//---------------------------------------------------------------- class CPELibrary { private: //----------------------------------------- PCHAR pMem; DWORD dwFileSize; //----------------------------------------- protected: //----------------------------------------- PIMAGE_DOS_HEADER image_dos_header; PCHAR pDosStub; DWORD dwDosStubSize, dwDosStubOffset; PIMAGE_NT_HEADERS image_nt_headers; PIMAGE_SECTION_HEADER image_section_header[MAX_SECTION_NUM]; PCHAR image_section[MAX_SECTION_NUM]; //----------------------------------------- protected: //----------------------------------------- DWORD PEAlign(DWORD dwTarNum,DWORD dwAlignTo); void AlignmentSections(); //----------------------------------------- DWORD Offset2RVA(DWORD dwRO); DWORD RVA2Offset(DWORD dwRVA); //----------------------------------------- PIMAGE_SECTION_HEADER ImageRVA2Section(DWORD dwRVA); PIMAGE_SECTION_HEADER ImageOffset2Section(DWORD dwRO); //----------------------------------------- DWORD ImageOffset2SectionNum(DWORD dwRVA); PIMAGE_SECTION_HEADER AddNewSection(char* szName,DWORD dwSize); //----------------------------------------- public: //----------------------------------------- CPELibrary(); ~CPELibrary(); //----------------------------------------- void OpenFile(char* FileName); void SaveFile(char* FileName); //----------------------------------------- };

By Table 1, the usage of image_dos_headerpDosStubimage_nt_headersimage_section_header[MAX_SECTION_NUM], and image_section[MAX_SECTION_NUM] is clear. We use OpenFile() and SaveFile()to retrieve and rebuild a PE file. Furthermore, AddNewSection() is employed to create the new section, the important step.

4.2 Create Data for new Section

In pecrypt.cpp, I have represented another class, CPECryptor, to comprise the data of the new section. Nevertheless, the data of the new section is created by DynLoader() in loader.cppDynLoader Step 1. We use the CPECryptor class to enter this data in to the new section, and also some other stuff.

CPECryptor Class Step 1

//---------------------------------------------------------------- class CPECryptor: public CPELibrary { private: //---------------------------------------- PCHAR pNewSection; //---------------------------------------- DWORD GetFunctionVA(void* FuncName); void* ReturnToBytePtr(void* FuncName, DWORD findstr); //---------------------------------------- protected: //---------------------------------------- public: //---------------------------------------- void CryptFile(int(__cdecl *callback) (unsigned int, unsigned int)); //---------------------------------------- }; //----------------------------------------------------------------

4.3 Some notes regarding creating a new PE file

  • Align the VirtualAddress and the VirtualSize of each section by SectionAlignment:
    image_section_header[i]->VirtualAddress=
    
        PEAlign(image_section_header[i]->VirtualAddress,
    
        image_nt_headers->OptionalHeader.SectionAlignment);
    
    
    
    image_section_header[i]->Misc.VirtualSize=
    
        PEAlign(image_section_header[i]->Misc.VirtualSize,
    
        image_nt_headers->OptionalHeader.SectionAlignment);
  • Align the PointerToRawData and the SizeOfRawData of each section by FileAlignment:
    image_section_header[i]->PointerToRawData =
    
        PEAlign(image_section_header[i]->PointerToRawData,
    
                image_nt_headers->OptionalHeader.FileAlignment);
    
    
    
    image_section_header[i]->SizeOfRawData =
    
        PEAlign(image_section_header[i]->SizeOfRawData,
    
                image_nt_headers->OptionalHeader.FileAlignment);
  • Correct the SizeofImage by the virtual size and the virtual address of the last section:
    image_nt_headers->OptionalHeader.SizeOfImage = 
    
              image_section_header[LastSection]->VirtualAddress +
    
              image_section_header[LastSection]->Misc.VirtualSize;
  • Set the Bound Import Directory header to zero, as this directory is not very important to execute a PE file:
    image_nt_headers->
    
      OptionalHeader.DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_BOUND_IMPORT].
    
      VirtualAddress = 0;
    
    image_nt_headers->
    
      OptionalHeader.DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_BOUND_IMPORT].Size = 0;

4.4 Some notes regarding linking this VC Project

  • Set Linker->General->Enable Incremental Linking to No (/INCREMENTAL:NO).

    PE打补丁技术大全

    You can comprehend the difference between incremental link and no-incremental link by looking at the following picture:

    PE打补丁技术大全

    To acquire the virtual address of DynLoader(), we obtain the virtual address of JMP pemaker.DynLoaderin the incremental link, but by no-incremental link, the real virtual address is gained by the following code:

    DWORD dwVA= (DWORD) DynLoader;

    This setting is more critical in the incremental link when you try to find the beginning and ending of theLoaderDynLoader(), by CPECryptor::ReturnToBytePtr():

    void* CPECryptor::ReturnToBytePtr(void* FuncName, DWORD findstr) { void* tmpd; __asm { mov eax, FuncName jmp df hjg: inc eax df: mov ebx, [eax] cmp ebx, findstr jnz hjg mov tmpd, eax } return tmpd; }

5 Store Important Data and Reach Original OEP

Right now, we save the Original OEP and also the Image Base in order to reach to the virtual address of OEP. I have reserved a free space at the end of DynLoader() to store them, DynLoader Step 2.

PE Maker - Step 2

DynLoader Step 2

__stdcall void DynLoader() { _asm { //---------------------------------- DWORD_TYPE(DYN_LOADER_START_MAGIC) //---------------------------------- Main_0: PUSHAD // get base ebp CALL Main_1 Main_1: POP EBP SUB EBP,OFFSET Main_1 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR [EBP+_RO_dwImageBase] ADD EAX,DWORD PTR [EBP+_RO_dwOrgEntryPoint] PUSH EAX RETN // >> JMP to Original OEP //---------------------------------- DWORD_TYPE(DYN_LOADER_START_DATA1) //----------------------------------<FONT color=red> _RO_dwImageBase: DWORD_TYPE(0xCCCCCCCC) _RO_dwOrgEntryPoint: DWORD_TYPE(0xCCCCCCCC)</FONT> //---------------------------------- DWORD_TYPE(DYN_LOADER_END_MAGIC) //---------------------------------- } }

The new function, CPECryptor::CopyData1(), will implement the copy of the Image Base value and the Offset of Entry Point value into 8 bytes of free space in the loader.

5.1 Restore the first Registers Context

It is important to recover the Original Context of the thread. We have not yet done it in the DynLoader Step 2source code. We can modify the source of DynLoader() to repossess the first Context.

__stdcall void DynLoader() { _asm { //---------------------------------- DWORD_TYPE(DYN_LOADER_START_MAGIC) //---------------------------------- Main_0: <FONT color=red>PUSHAD// Save the registers context in stack</FONT> CALL Main_1 Main_1: POP EBP// Get Base EBP SUB EBP,OFFSET Main_1 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR [EBP+_RO_dwImageBase] ADD EAX,DWORD PTR [EBP+_RO_dwOrgEntryPoint] MOV DWORD PTR [ESP+1Ch],EAX // pStack.Eax <- EAX <FONT color=red>POPAD // Restore the first registers context from stack</FONT> PUSH EAX XOR EAX, EAX RETN // >> JMP to Original OEP //---------------------------------- DWORD_TYPE(DYN_LOADER_START_DATA1) //---------------------------------- _RO_dwImageBase: DWORD_TYPE(0xCCCCCCCC) _RO_dwOrgEntryPoint: DWORD_TYPE(0xCCCCCCCC) //---------------------------------- DWORD_TYPE(DYN_LOADER_END_MAGIC) //---------------------------------- } }

5.2 Restore the Original Stack

We can also recover the original stack by setting the value of the beginning stack + 0x34 to the Original OEP, but it is not very important. Nevertheless, in the following code, I have accomplished the loader code by a simple trick to reach OEP in addition to redecorating the stack. You can observe the implementation by tracing using OllyDbgor SoftICE.

__stdcall void DynLoader() { _asm { //---------------------------------- DWORD_TYPE(DYN_LOADER_START_MAGIC) //---------------------------------- Main_0: PUSHAD // Save the registers context in stack CALL Main_1 Main_1: POP EBP SUB EBP,OFFSET Main_1 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR [EBP+_RO_dwImageBase] ADD EAX,DWORD PTR [EBP+_RO_dwOrgEntryPoint] MOV DWORD PTR [ESP+54h],EAX // pStack.Eip <- EAX POPAD // Restore the first registers context from stack CALL _OEP_Jump DWORD_TYPE(0xCCCCCCCC) _OEP_Jump: PUSH EBP MOV EBP,ESP MOV EAX,DWORD PTR [ESP+3Ch] // EAX <- pStack.Eip MOV DWORD PTR [ESP+4h],EAX // _OEP_Jump RETURN pointer <- EAX XOR EAX,EAX LEAVE RETN //---------------------------------- DWORD_TYPE(DYN_LOADER_START_DATA1) //---------------------------------- _RO_dwImageBase: DWORD_TYPE(0xCCCCCCCC) _RO_dwOrgEntryPoint: DWORD_TYPE(0xCCCCCCCC) //---------------------------------- DWORD_TYPE(DYN_LOADER_END_MAGIC) //---------------------------------- } } 

5.3 Approach OEP by Structured Exception Handling

An exception is generated when a program falls into a fault code execution and an error happens, so in such a special condition, the program immediately jumps to a function called the exception handler from exception handler list of the Thread Information Block.

The next example of a try-except statement in C++ clarifies the operation of structured exception handling. Besides the assembly code of this code, it elucidates the structured exception handler installation, the raise of an exception, and the exception handler function.

#include "stdafx.h" #include "windows.h" void RAISE_AN_EXCEPTION() { _asm { INT 3 INT 3 INT 3 INT 3 } } int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { __try { __try{ printf("1: Raise an Exception\n"); RAISE_AN_EXCEPTION(); } __finally { printf("2: In Finally\n"); } } __except( printf("3: In Filter\n"), EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER ) { printf("4: In Exception Handler\n"); } return 0; }

Make a Win32 console project, and link and run the preceding C++ code, to perceive the result:

1: Raise an Exception
3: In Filter
2: In Finally
4: In Exception Handler
_



This program runs the exception expression, printf("3: In Filter\n");, when an exception happens, in this example the INT 3 exception. You can employ other kinds of exception too. In OllyDbgDebugging options->Exceptions, you can see a short list of different types of exceptions.

5.3.1 Implement Exception Handler

We desire to construct a structured exception handler in order to reach OEP. Now, I think you have distinguished the SEH installation, the exception raise, and the exception expression filter, by foregoing the assembly code. To establish our exception handler approach, we need to comprise the following codes:

  • SEH installation:
    <FONT color=gray>    LEA EAX,[EBP+_except_handler1_OEP_Jump] PUSH EAX PUSH DWORD PTR FS:[0] MOV DWORD PTR FS:[0],ESP</FONT>
  • An Exception Raise:
    <FONT color=gray>    INT 3</FONT>
  • Exception handler expression filter:
    <FONT color=gray>_except_handler1_OEP_Jump:
    
        PUSH EBP MOV EBP,ESP ... MOV EAX, EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH // EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH = 0 LEAVE RETN</FONT>

So we yearn for making the ensuing C++ code in assembly language to inaugurate our engine to approach the Offset of Entry Point by SEH.

__try // SEH installation { __asm { INT 3 // An Exception Raise } } __except( ..., EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH ){} // Exception handler expression filter

In assembly code...

<FONT color=gray>    <FONT color=green>; ---------------------------------------------------- ; the structured exception handler (SEH) installation <FONT color=black>; __try {</FONT></FONT> LEA EAX,[EBP+_except_handler1_OEP_Jump] PUSH EAX PUSH DWORD PTR FS:[0] MOV DWORD PTR FS:[0],ESP <FONT color=green>; ---------------------------------------------------- ; the raise a INT 3 exception</FONT> INT 3 INT 3 INT 3 INT 3 <FONT color=black>; } ; __except( ... </FONT> <FONT color=green>; ---------------------------------------------------- ; exception handler expression filter</FONT> _except_handler1_OEP_Jump: PUSH EBP MOV EBP,ESP ... MOV EAX, EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH ; EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH = 0 LEAVE RETN <FONT color=black>; , EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH ) { }</FONT></FONT>

The exception value, __except(..., Value), determines how the exception is handled, it can have three values, 1, 0, -1. To understand them, refer to the try-except statement description in the MSDN library. We set it toEXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH (0), not to run the exception handler function, therefore by this value, the exception is not recognized, is simply ignored, and the thread continues its code-execution.

How the SEH installation is implemented

As you perceived from the illustrated code, the SEH installation is done by the FS segment register. Microsoft Windows 32 bit uses the FS segment register as a pointer to the data block of the main thread. The first 0x1Cbytes comprise the information of the Thread Information Block (TIB). Therefore, FS:[00h] refers toExceptionList of the main thread, Table 3. In our code, we have pushed the pointer to_except_handler1_OEP_Jump in the stack and changed the value of ExceptionListFS:[00h], to the beginning of the stack, ESP.

Thread Information Block (TIB)

typedef struct _NT_TIB32 { DWORD ExceptionList; DWORD StackBase; DWORD StackLimit; DWORD SubSystemTib; union { DWORD FiberData; DWORD Version; }; DWORD ArbitraryUserPointer; DWORD Self; } NT_TIB32, *PNT_TIB32;

Table 3 - FS segment register and Thread Information Block

DWORD PTR FS:[00h] ExceptionList
DWORD PTR FS:[04h] StackBase
DWORD PTR FS:[08h] StackLimit
DWORD PTR FS:[0Ch] SubSystemTib
DWORD PTR FS:[10h] FiberData / Version
DWORD PTR FS:[14h] ArbitraryUserPointer
DWORD PTR FS:[18h] Self

5.3.2 Attain OEP by adjusting the Thread Context

In this part, we effectuate our performance by accomplishing the OEP approach. We change the Context of the thread and ignore every simple exception handling, and let the thread continue the execution, but in the original OEP!

When an exception happens, the context of the processor during the time of the exception is saved in the stack. By EXCEPTION_POINTERS, we have access to the pointer of ContextRecord. The ContextRecord has theCONTEXT data structure, Table 4, this is the thread context during the exception time. When we ignore the exception by EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH (0), the instruction pointer as well the context will be set toContextRecord in order to return to the previous condition. Therefore, if we change the Eip of the Win32 Thread Context to the Original Offset of Entry Point, it will come clearly into OEP.

    MOV EAX, ContextRecord MOV EDI, dwOEP ; EAX <- dwOEP MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+0B8h], EDI ; pContext.Eip <- EAX

6 Build an Import Table and Reconstruct the Original Import Table

To use the Windows dynamic link library (DLL) in Windows application programming, there are two ways:

  • Using Windows libraries by additional dependencies:

    PE打补丁技术大全

  • Using Windows dynamic link libraries in run-time:
    // DLL function signature typedef HGLOBAL (*importFunction_GlobalAlloc)(UINT, SIZE_T); ... importFunction_GlobalAlloc __GlobalAlloc; // Load DLL file HINSTANCE hinstLib = LoadLibrary("Kernel32.dll"); if (hinstLib == NULL) { // Error - unable to load DLL } // Get function pointer __GlobalAlloc = (importFunction_GlobalAlloc)GetProcAddress(hinstLib, "GlobalAlloc"); if (addNumbers == NULL) { // Error - unable to find DLL function } FreeLibrary(hinstLib);

When you make a Windows application project, the linker includes at least kernel32.dll in the base dependencies of your project. Without LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() of Kernel32.dll, we can not load a DLL in run-time. The dependencies information is stored in the import table section. By Dependency Walker, it is not so difficult to observe the DLL module and the functions which are imported into a PE file.

PE打补丁技术大全

We attempt to establish our custom import table to conduct our project. Furthermore, we have to fix up the original import table at the end in order to run the real code of the program.

PE Maker - Step 3

6.1 Construct the Client Import Table

I strongly advise you to read the section 6.4 of the Microsoft Portable Executable and the Common Object File Format Specification document. This section contains the principal information to comprehend the import table performance.

The import table data is accessible by a second data directory of the optional header from PE headers, so you can access it by using the following code:

DWORD dwVirtualAddress = image_nt_headers->

  OptionalHeader.DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT].VirtualAddress;

DWORD dwSize = image_nt_headers->

  OptionalHeader.DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT].Size;

The VirtualAddress refers to structures by IMAGE_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR. This structure contains the pointer to the imported DLL name and the relative virtual address of the first thunk.

typedef struct _IMAGE_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR { union { DWORD Characteristics; DWORD OriginalFirstThunk; }; DWORD TimeDateStamp; DWORD ForwarderChain; DWORD <FONT color=red>Name</FONT>; // the imported DLL name DWORD <FONT color=red>FirstThunk</FONT>; // the relative virtual address of the first thunk } IMAGE_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR, *PIMAGE_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR;

When a program is running, the Windows task manager sets the thunks by the virtual address of the function. The virtual address is found by the name of the function. At first, the thunks hold the relative virtual address of the function name, Table 5; during execution, they are fixed up by the virtual address of the functions, Table 6.

I have prepared a class library to make every import table by using a client string table. The CITMaker class library in itmaker.h, it will build an import table by sz_IT_EXE_strings and also the relative virtual address of the import table.

static const char *sz_IT_EXE_strings[]= { "Kernel32.dll", "LoadLibraryA", "GetProcAddress", 0,, 0, };

We subsequently employ this class library to establish an import table to support DLLs and OCXs, so this is a general library to present all possible import tables easily. The next step is clarified in the following code.

CITMaker *<FONT color=red>ImportTableMaker</FONT> = new CITMaker( IMPORT_TABLE_EXE );

...

pimage_section_header=AddNewSection( ".xxx", dwNewSectionSize ); // build import table by the current virtual address <FONT color=red>ImportTableMaker</FONT>-><FONT color=green>Build</FONT> ( <FONT color=blue>pimage_section_header->VirtualAddress</FONT> ); memcpy( pNewSection, <FONT color=red>ImportTableMaker</FONT>-><FONT color=green>pMem</FONT>, <FONT color=red>ImportTableMaker</FONT>-><FONT color=green>dwSize</FONT> ); ... memcpy( image_section[image_nt_headers->FileHeader.NumberOfSections-1], pNewSection, dwNewSectionSize ); ... image_nt_headers->OptionalHeader. DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT].VirtualAddress = <FONT color=blue>pimage_section_header->VirtualAddress</FONT>; image_nt_headers->OptionalHeader. DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT].Size = <FONT color=red>ImportTableMaker</FONT>-><FONT color=green>dwSize</FONT>; ... delete <FONT color=red>ImportTableMaker</FONT>;

The import table is copied at the beginning of the new section, and the relevant data directory is adjusted to the relative virtual address of the new section and the size of the new import table

6.2 Using other API functions in run-time

At this time, we can load other DLLs and find the process address of other functions by using LoadLibrary()and GetProcAddress():

<FONT color=gray>lea edi, <FONT color=red>@</FONT><FONT color=brown>"Kernel32.dll"</FONT>

//-------------------

<FONT color=blue>push edi

mov eax,offset _p_LoadLibrary

call [ebp+eax] //LoadLibrary(lpLibFileName);</FONT>

//-------------------

mov esi,eax    // esi -> hModule

lea edi, <FONT color=red>@</FONT><FONT color=brown>"GetModuleHandleA"</FONT>

//-------------------

<FONT color=blue>push edi

push esi

mov eax,offset _p_GetProcAddress

call [ebp+eax] //GetModuleHandle=GetProcAddress(hModule, lpProcName);</FONT>

//--------------------</FONT>

I want to have a complete imported function table similar in performance done in a real EXE file. If you look inside a PE file, you will discover that an API call is done by an indirection jump through the virtual address of the API function:

JMP DWORD PTR [XXXXXXXX]

<FONT color=gray>...

0101F028: <FONT color=red>7C801D77</FONT>      ; Virtual Address of kernel32.LoadLibrary()

...

0101F120: JMP DWORD PTR [<FONT color=red>0101F028</FONT>]

...

0101F230: CALL <FONT color=red>0101F120</FONT> ;  JMP to kernel32.LoadLibrary

...</FONT>

It makes it easy to expand the other part of our project by this performance, so we construct two data tables: first for API virtual addresses, and the second for the JMP [XXXXXXXX].

#define __jmp_api               byte_type(0xFF) byte_type(0x25)

__asm { ... //---------------------------------------------------------------- _p_GetModuleHandle: dword_type(0xCCCCCCCC) _p_VirtualProtect: dword_type(0xCCCCCCCC) _p_GetModuleFileName: dword_type(0xCCCCCCCC) _p_CreateFile: dword_type(0xCCCCCCCC) _p_GlobalAlloc: dword_type(0xCCCCCCCC) //---------------------------------------------------------------- _jmp_GetModuleHandle: __jmp_api dword_type(0xCCCCCCCC) _jmp_VirtualProtect: __jmp_api dword_type(0xCCCCCCCC) _jmp_GetModuleFileName: __jmp_api dword_type(0xCCCCCCCC) _jmp_CreateFile: __jmp_api dword_type(0xCCCCCCCC) _jmp_GlobalAlloc: __jmp_api dword_type(0xCCCCCCCC) //---------------------------------------------------------------- ... }

In the succeeding code, we has concluded our ambition to install a custom internal import table! (We can not call it import table.)

    lea edi,[ebp+_p_szKernel32]

6.3 Fix up the Original Import Table

In order to run the program again, we should fix up the thunks of the actual import table, otherwise we have a corrupted target PE file. Our code must correct all of the thunks the same as Table 5 to Table 6. Once more,LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() aid us in our effort to reach our intention.

7 Support DLL and OCX

Now, we intend to include the dynamic link library (DLL) and OLE-ActiveX Control in our PE builder project. Supporting them is very easy if we pay attention to the two time arrival into the Offset of Entry Point, the relocation table implementation, and the client import table.

PE Maker - Step 4

7.1 Twice OEP approach

The Offset of Entry Point of a DLL file or an OCX file is touched by the main program atleast twice:

  • Constructor:

    When a DLL is loaded by LoadLibrary(), or an OCX is registered by using LoadLibrary() andGetProcAddress() through calling DllRegisterServer(), the first of the OEP arrival is done.

    hinstDLL = LoadLibrary( "test1.dll" );
    hinstOCX = LoadLibrary( "test1.ocx" ); _DllRegisterServer = GetProcAddress( hinstOCX, "DllRegisterServer" ); _DllRegisterServer(); // ocx register
  • Destructor:

    When the main program frees the library usage by FreeLibrary(), the second OEP arrival happens.

    FreeLibrary( hinstDLL );
    FreeLibrary( hinstOCX );

To perform this, I have employed a trick, that causes in the second time again, the instruction pointer (EIP) traveling towards the original OEP by the structured exception handler.

<FONT color=gray><FONT color=black>_main_0:

    pushad  // save the registers context in stack

    call _main_1

_main_1:    

    pop ebp

    sub ebp,offset _main_1 // get base ebp

    //---------------- support dll, ocx  -----------------

_support_dll_0:</FONT> 

    jmp _support_dll_1 // <FONT color=red>nop; nop; // << trick</FONT> // in the second time OEP

    <FONT color=black>jmp _support_dll_2</FONT>

_support_dll_1:

    //----------------------------------------------------

    

    ...

    

    //---------------- support dll, ocx  1 ---------------

    mov edi,[ebp+_p_dwImageBase]

    add edi,[edi+03Ch]// edi -> IMAGE_NT_HEADERS

    mov ax,word ptr [edi+016h]// edi -> image_nt_headers->FileHeader.Characteristics

    test ax,<FONT color=green>IMAGE_FILE_DLL</FONT>

    jz _support_dll_2

        mov ax, <FONT color=red>9090h // << trick</FONT>

        mov word ptr [ebp+_support_dll_0],ax</FONT>

<FONT color=black>_support_dll_2:

    //----------------------------------------------------

    ...

    into OEP by SEH ...</FONT>

I hope you have caught the trick in the preceding code, but this is not all of it, we have problem in ImageBase, when the library has been loaded in different image bases by the main program. We should write some code to find the real image base and store it to use forward.

    <FONT color=gray>mov eax,<FONT color=green>[esp+24h]</FONT> // the real imagebase

    mov ebx,<FONT color=green>[esp+30h]</FONT> // oep

    cmp eax,ebx

    ja _no_dll_pe_file_0

        cmp word ptr [eax],IMAGE_DOS_SIGNATURE

        jne _no_dll_pe_file_0

            mov [ebp+_p_dwImageBase],eax

_no_dll_pe_file_0:</FONT>

This code finds the real image base by investigating the stack information. By using the real image base and the formal image base, we should correct all memory calls inside the image program!! Don't be afraid, it will be done simply by the relocating the table information.

7.2 Implement Relocation Table

To understand the relocation table better, you can take a look at the section 6.6 of Microsoft Portable Executable and Common Object File Format Specification document. The relocation table contains many packages to relocate the information related to the virtual address inside the virtual memory image. Each package comprise of a 8 bytes header to exhibit the base virtual address and the number of data, demonstrated by theIMAGE_BASE_RELOCATION data structure.

typedef struct _IMAGE_BASE_RELOCATION { DWORD VirtualAddress; DWORD SizeOfBlock; } IMAGE_BASE_RELOCATION, *PIMAGE_BASE_RELOCATION;

Table 7 - The Relocation Table

Block[1] VirtualAddress
SizeOfBlock
type:4 offset:12 type:4 offset:12
type:4 offset:12 type:4 offset:12
type:4 offset:12 type:4 offset:12
... ... ... ...
type:4 offset:12 00 00
Block[2] VirtualAddress
SizeOfBlock
type:4 offset:12 type:4 offset:12
type:4 offset:12 type:4 offset:12
type:4 offset:12 type:4 offset:12
... ... ... ...
type:4 offset:12 00 00
...

 

...

 

Block[n] VirtualAddress
SizeOfBlock
type:4 offset:12 type:4 offset:12
type:4 offset:12 type:4 offset:12
type:4 offset:12 type:4 offset:12
... ... ... ...
type:4 offset:12 00 00

Table 7 illustrates the main idea of the relocation table. Furthermore, you can upload a DLL or an OCX file inOllyDbg to observe the relocation table, the ".reloc" section through Memory map window. By the way, we find the position of the relocation table by using the following code in our project:

DWORD dwVirtualAddress = image_nt_headers->

  OptionalHeader.DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_BASERELOC].

  VirtualAddress;

DWORD dwSize = image_nt_headers->

  OptionalHeader.DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_BASERELOC].Size;

By OllyDbg, we have the same as the following for the ".reloc" section, by using the Long Hex viewer mode. In this example, the base virtual address is 0x1000 and the size of the block is 0x184.

008E1000 : 00001000  00000184  30163000  30403028

008E1010 : 30683054  308C3080  30AC309C  30D830CC

008E1020 : 30E030DC  30E830E4  30F030EC  310030F4

008E1030 : 3120310D  315F3150  31A431A0  31C031A8

008E1040 : 31D031CC  31F431EC  31FC31F8  32043200

008E1050 : 320C3208  32143210  324C322C  32583254

008E1060 : 3260325C  32683264  3270326C  32B03274

It relocates the data in the subsequent virtual addresses:

0x1000 + 0x0000 = 0x1000

0x1000 + 0x0016 = 0x1016

0x1000 + 0x0028 = 0x1028

0x1000 + 0x0040 = 0x1040

0x1000 + 0x0054 = 0x1054

...

Each package performs the relocation by using consecutive 4 bytes form its internal information. The first byte refers to the type of relocation and the next three bytes are the offset which must be used with the base virtual address and the image base to correct the image information.

type offset
03 00 00 00

What is the type

The type can be one of the following values:

  • IMAGE_REL_BASED_ABSOLUTE (0): no effect.
  • IMAGE_REL_BASED_HIGH (1): relocate by the high 16 bytes of the base virtual address and the offset.
  • IMAGE_REL_BASED_LOW (2): relocate by the low 16 bytes of the base virtual address and the offset.
  • IMAGE_REL_BASED_HIGHLOW (3): relocate by the base virtual address and the offset.

What is done in the relocation?

By relocation, some values inside the virtual memory are corrected according to the current image base by the".reloc" section packages.

delta_ImageBase = current_ImageBase - image_nt_headers->OptionalHeader.ImageBase
mem[ current_ImageBase + 0x1000 ] = 

   mem[ current_ImageBase + 0x1000 ] + delta_ImageBase ;

mem[ current_ImageBase + 0x1016 ] = 

   mem[ current_ImageBase + 0x1016 ] + delta_ImageBase ;

mem[ current_ImageBase + 0x1028 ] = 

   mem[ current_ImageBase + 0x1028 ] + delta_ImageBase ;

mem[ current_ImageBase + 0x1040 ] = 

   mem[ current_ImageBase + 0x1040 ] + delta_ImageBase ;

mem[ current_ImageBase + 0x1054 ] = 

  mem[ current_ImageBase + 0x1054 ] + delta_ImageBase ;

...

I have employed the following code from Morphine packer to implement the relocation.

7.3 Build a Special Import table

In order to support the OLE-ActiveX Control registration, we should present an appropriate import table to our target OCX and DLL file.

Therefore, I have established an import table by the following string:

const char *sz_IT_OCX_strings[]= { "Kernel32.dll", "LoadLibraryA", "GetProcAddress", "GetModuleHandleA", 0, "User32.dll", "GetKeyboardType", "WindowFromPoint", 0, "AdvApi32.dll", "RegQueryValueExA", "RegSetValueExA", "StartServiceA", 0, "Oleaut32.dll", "SysFreeString", "CreateErrorInfo", "SafeArrayPtrOfIndex", 0, "Gdi32.dll", "UnrealizeObject", 0, "Ole32.dll", "CreateStreamOnHGlobal", "IsEqualGUID", 0, "ComCtl32.dll", "ImageList_SetIconSize", 0, 0, };

Without these API functions, the library can not be loaded, and moreover the DllregisterServer() andDllUregisterServer() will not operate. In CPECryptor::CryptFile, I have distinguished between EXE files and DLL files in the initialization of the new import table object during creation:

if(( image_nt_headers->FileHeader.Characteristics 

             & IMAGE_FILE_DLL ) == IMAGE_FILE_DLL )

{

    ImportTableMaker = new CITMaker( IMPORT_TABLE_OCX ); } else { ImportTableMaker = new CITMaker( IMPORT_TABLE_EXE ); }

8 Preserve the Thread Local Storage

By using Thread Local Storage (TLS), a program is able to execute a multithreaded process, this performance mostly is used by Borland linkers: Delphi and C++ Builder. When you pack a PE file, you should take care to keep clean the TLS, otherwise, your packer will not support Borland Delphi and C++ Builder linked EXE files. To comprehend TLS, I refer you to section 6.7 of the Microsoft Portable Executable and Common Object File Format Specification document, you can observe the TLS structure by IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY32 in winnt.h.

typedef struct _IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY32 { DWORD StartAddressOfRawData; DWORD EndAddressOfRawData; DWORD AddressOfIndex; DWORD AddressOfCallBacks; DWORD SizeOfZeroFill; DWORD Characteristics; } IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY32, * PIMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY32;

To keep safe the TLS directory, I have copied it in a special place inside the loader:

<FONT color=gray>...

It is necessary to correct the TLS directory entry in the Optional Header:

if(image_nt_headers->

  OptionalHeader.DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_TLS].

  VirtualAddress!=0)

{

    memcpy(&pDataTable->image_tls_directory,

           image_tls_directory,

           sizeof(IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY32)); dwOffset=DWORD(pData1)-DWORD(pNewSection); dwOffset+=sizeof(t_DATA_1)-sizeof(IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY32); image_nt_headers-> OptionalHeader.DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_TLS]. VirtualAddress=dwVirtualAddress + dwOffset; }
