Description: After having published my article about process-wide API spying, I received plenty of encouraging messages - readers have generally accepted my model of hooking function calls. In this article, we will extend our model to kernel- mode spying, and hook the API calls that are made by our target device driver. We will also introduce a brand-new way of communication between the kernel-mode driver and the user-mode application - instead of using system services, we will implement our own mini-version of Asynchronous Procedure Calls. This task is not as complicated as it may seem - in fact, it is just shockingly easy. Windows flat memory model offers us plenty of exciting opportunities - the only thing we need is a sense of adventure (plus a good knowledge of assembly language, of course). All tips and tricks, described in this article, are 100% of my own design - you would not find anything more or less similar to these tricks anywhere.

Current version: 0.9.3

Description: The radare project aims to provide a complete unix-like toolchain for working with binary files. It currently provides a set of tools to work with x86, arm and java with some ones powerpc.

The core is a raw hexadecimal editor for commandline with scripting features and perl/python extensions that gets extended with IO plugins that hooks the open/read/write/close/system calls.

The debugger and disassembler has a code analysis module for x86, arm and java. This way it's possible to draw graphs using Cairo on a GTK window or store the flow execution of a program on a log file and use the information to diff't against another trace or binary.

The toolchain provides assemblers and disasemblers for x86, arm and java.

The disassembler has been enhaced to handle inline comments, code block detections and flag references (data pointers or so).

The debugger currently works on linux,*bsd x86-32 but it has initial support for x86-64 and linux-ARM, and w32 support is in mind too.

But there are IO plugins for debugging windows and DOS applications via wine and dosemu. Initial gxemul support gives us the possibility to also debug ARM, MIPS, SPARC, .. binaries.

There are some internal commands to handle memory maps, mount a syscall proxy, inject code, patch data, dump user data sections, step-back, syscall tracing, hardware DRx register manipulation, conditional watchpoints with expressions, signalling manipulation, syscall injection and very early threading support..

Data structures can be parsed with hand-written C programs called as extensions from radare. So the hexadecimal editor comes with a set of views for different bases and print formats like URL-encoding, binary, octal, shellcode, C string-like, which is really useful for developing shellcodes.

There's a minimal GUI frontend written in C that interacts directly with an VTE running radare. But I plan to write a new native frontend written in Vala.

Current development plugins are:

* ewf: EnCase (R) forensic disk images
* winedbg: WineDebugger interface ( winedbg://./program.exe )
* haret: Remotely read WindowsCE memory ( haret://host:port )
* ptrace: Debugs or attach to a process ( dbg://file or pid://PID )
* sysproxy: Connects to a remote syscallproxy server
* remote: TCP IO ( listen://:port or connect://host:port )
* gdb: Debugs or attach to a process using gdb (gdb://file, gdb://PID, gdb://host:port)
* w32: posix to native w32 api io
* posix: plain posix file access

The tools provided around the core are:

* radare: command line hexadecimal editor with IO plugin extensions
* rabin: get info from ELF/MZ/PE/CLASS files
* rasc: shellcode generator and tester (outputs in raw, hexpairs or C)
* bindiff: binary diffing utilities for raw files, binaries, data blocks, etc
* xrefs: find crossed references on raw images for ppc, arm and x86
* hasher: calculate different algorithms over data blocks of a file or stream
* rsc: command line helpers written in shellscript or perl
* javasm: minimalistic java assembler/disassembler/classdumper
* armasm: minimalistic arm assembler
* xc: converts between multiple radix numeric bases

Description: This program enumerates all NT kernel system calls and matches them with native API functions using dbghelp and MS symbols (internet connection is required to download these symbols).

It uses kernel mode driver to access arbitrary memory locations, like System Service Descriptor Tables.
