Search C Structures in a process' memory

Project description

HOWTO:
------

>>> import haystack
>>> haystack.findStruct( pid , 'ctypes.c_int')
>>> haystack.findStruct( pid , 'ctypes_example.big_struct')

It's easy to add new structures (check ctypeslib or do it by hand )

a) Your class must extend haystack.model.LoadableMembers.
b) You must give your class a completed _fields_ (with one _ ), like all ctypes.Structure
c) You can add an expectedValues dict() to your class to refine your search

Advanced use : You can override methods to fine tune some validation or loading

The global algoritm :
a) A ctypes structure is mapped at a memory address.
b) The method laodMembers id called.
c) The method isValid is called on self.
c2) A validation test is done for each members, it's expected values and memory space validity (pointers) are tested.
The validation does not recurse.
c) Each members is then 'loaded' to local space.
If the value is a pointer or a model.LoadableMembers type, it's recursively Loaded. ( and validated).
If the recursive loading fails, the calls fails. bye-bye.
d) see next offset, goto a)

Extension examples :
---------------------
from haystack.model import LoadableMembers, RangeValue, NotNull

class OpenSSLStruct(LoadableMembers):
pass

class RSA(OpenSSLStruct):
''' rsa/rsa.h '''
_fields_ = [
("pad", ctypes.c_int),
("version", ctypes.c_long),
("meth",ctypes.POINTER(BIGNUM)),#const RSA_METHOD *meth;
("engine",ctypes.POINTER(ENGINE)),#ENGINE *engine;
('n', ctypes.POINTER(BIGNUM) ), ## still in ssh memap
('e', ctypes.POINTER(BIGNUM) ), ## still in ssh memap
('d', ctypes.POINTER(BIGNUM) ), ## still in ssh memap
('p', ctypes.POINTER(BIGNUM) ), ## still in ssh memap
('q', ctypes.POINTER(BIGNUM) ), ## still in ssh memap
('dmp1', ctypes.POINTER(BIGNUM) ),
('dmq1', ctypes.POINTER(BIGNUM) ),
('iqmp', ctypes.POINTER(BIGNUM) ),
("ex_data", CRYPTO_EX_DATA ),
("references", ctypes.c_int),
("flags", ctypes.c_int),
("_method_mod_n", ctypes.POINTER(BN_MONT_CTX) ),
("_method_mod_p", ctypes.POINTER(BN_MONT_CTX) ),
("_method_mod_q", ctypes.POINTER(BN_MONT_CTX) ),
("bignum_data",ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_ubyte)), ## moue c_char_p ou POINTER(c_char) ?
("blinding",ctypes.POINTER(BIGNUM)),#BN_BLINDING *blinding;
("mt_blinding",ctypes.POINTER(BIGNUM))#BN_BLINDING *mt_blinding;
]
expectedValues={
"pad": [0],
"version": [0],
"references": RangeValue(0,0xfff),
"n": [NotNull],
"e": [NotNull],
"d": [NotNull],
"p": [NotNull],
"q": [NotNull],
"dmp1": [NotNull],
"dmq1": [NotNull],
"iqmp": [NotNull]
}
def loadMembers(self, mappings, maxDepth):
self.bignum_data = None
self.blinding = None
self.mt_blinding = None
if not LoadableMembers.loadMembers(self, mappings, maxDepth):
log.debug('RSA not loaded')
return False
return True



not so FAQ :
============

What does it do ?:
------------------
The basic functionnality is to search in a process' memory maps for a specific C Structures.

How do it knows that the structures is valid ? :
------------------------------------------------
You add some constraints ( expectedValues ) on the fields. Pointers are also a good start.

Where does the idea comes from ? :
-----------------------------------
use http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/breves/passe-partout.html.fr to get keys
use http://pauldotcom.com/2010/10/tsharkwireshark-ssl-decryption.html
or http://www.rtfm.com/ssldump/ to read streams
use scapy, because it's fun ? but we need IP reassembly .
pynids could be more useful...
dsniff is now in python ?
flowgrep
use python.


What are the dependencies ? :
----------------------------
python-ptrace
