You can create a buffer that holds a few bytes that will be do anything you want. For example, you might want to check if the current thread is a special thread or check the privilege level of the requesting user or whatever you can do anything you want in your assembly code then at the end of the code, you can decide whether the actions of this event should be executed or not.
This is done by using RAX
register. If you zero the RAX
register, then return (ret
), it means that you don't want the event actions to be executed (or in other words, you returned FALSE
).
For example, you might decide to run XOR RAX, RAX
at the end of your assembly code. This way, the event action will never be executed because RAX is zero, which means FALSE
.
Or you can use MOV RAX, 1
at the end of the code, the RAX is non-zero, which means that the event's actions should be executed.
By the way, it depends on your code and the condition of your code.
The following code shows how to create a condition buffer at the kernel.
//
// Create condition buffer
//
char CondtionBuffer[8];
CondtionBuffer[0] = 0x90; //nop
CondtionBuffer[1] = 0x48; //xor rax, rax
CondtionBuffer[2] = 0x31;
CondtionBuffer[3] = 0xc0;
CondtionBuffer[4] = 0x48; // inc rax
CondtionBuffer[5] = 0xff;
CondtionBuffer[6] = 0xc0;
CondtionBuffer[7] = 0xc3; // ret
{% hint style="warning" %} Don't forget to put a 0xc3 or ret instruction at the end of your condition buffer. This way, you give the program's execution back to the debugger, and HyperDbg can continue normally. Otherwise, the HyperDbg won't get a chance to get back the execution and cause a crash. {% endhint %}
Adding condition buffer to the event is done when you are creating the event using DebuggerCreateEvent
, you have to specify both a pointer to the buffer and the size of the buffer.
Look at the following example,
//
// Create event based on condition buffer
//
PDEBUGGER_EVENT Event1 = DebuggerCreateEvent(
TRUE,
DEBUGGER_EVENT_APPLY_TO_ALL_CORES,
DEBUGGER_EVENT_APPLY_TO_ALL_PROCESSES,
HIDDEN_HOOK_READ,
0x85858585,
sizeof(CondtionBuffer),
CondtionBuffer);
In the above example, CondtionBuffer
is the pointer to the buffer that holds the assembly bytes and sizeof(CondtionBuffer)
shows the size of the buffer.
{% hint style="info" %} Each event can only have one condition. {% endhint %}
The condition buffer function is called in the following form:
typedef UINT64
DebuggerCheckForCondition(PGUEST_REGS Regs, PVOID Context);
The above function is called where Regs
is in RCX
and Context
is in RDX
.
Regs
is the registers of the guest, you can directly modify them, and it will be applied to the guest in the normal execution, and you can also read these registers in this structure and the Context
is event-specific, check each event's documentation to see what is in the Context
.
The Regs
or RCX
is a pointer to the following structure.
typedef struct _GUEST_REGS
{
ULONG64 rax; // 0x00
ULONG64 rcx; // 0x08
ULONG64 rdx; // 0x10
ULONG64 rbx; // 0x18
ULONG64 rsp; // 0x20
ULONG64 rbp; // 0x28
ULONG64 rsi; // 0x30
ULONG64 rdi; // 0x38
ULONG64 r8; // 0x40
ULONG64 r9; // 0x48
ULONG64 r10; // 0x50
ULONG64 r11; // 0x58
ULONG64 r12; // 0x60
ULONG64 r13; // 0x68
ULONG64 r14; // 0x70
ULONG64 r15; // 0x78
} GUEST_REGS, *PGUEST_REGS;
{% hint style="success" %} You can read other registers (non-general purpose registers) directly and modify them. We're not changing them or using them in debugger and hypervisor routines, so reading and changing them will directly apply to the guests' registers and apply to normal execution. {% endhint %}
