"""
|
|
This class is used to interact with processes running on the system
|
|
(i.e., by reading from or writing to the memory used by a given process).
|
|
|
|
The static methods
|
|
Process.list_available_pids()
|
|
Process.get_pid_by_name(executable_filename)
|
|
can be used to help find the process id (pid) of the target process. They are
|
|
provided for convenience only; it is probably better to use the tools built
|
|
in to your operating system to discover the pid of the specific process you
|
|
would like to edit.
|
|
|
|
Once you have found the pid, you are ready to construct an instance of Process
|
|
and use it to read and write to memory. Once you are done with the process,
|
|
use .close() to free up the process for access by other debuggers etc.
|
|
|
|
p = Process.open(1239)
|
|
p.close()
|
|
|
|
To read/write to memory, first create a buffer using ctypes:
|
|
|
|
buffer0 = (ctypes.c_byte * 5)(39, 50, 03, 40, 30)
|
|
buffer1 = ctypes.c_ulong()
|
|
|
|
and then use
|
|
|
|
p.write_memory(0x2fe, buffer0)
|
|
|
|
val0 = p.read_memory(0x220, buffer0)[:]
|
|
|
|
val1a = p.read_memory(0x149, buffer1).value
|
|
val2b = buffer1.value
|
|
assert(val1a == val2b)
|
|
|
|
Searching for a value can be done in a number of ways:
|
|
Search a list of addresses:
|
|
found_addresses = p.search_addresses([0x1020, 0x1030], buffer0)
|
|
Search the entire memory space:
|
|
found_addresses = p.search_all_memory(buffer0, writeable_only=False)
|
|
|
|
You can also get a list of which regions in memory are mapped (readable):
|
|
regions = p.list_mapped_regions(writeable_only=False)
|
|
|
|
which can be used along with search_buffer(...) to re-create .search_all_memory(...):
|
|
|
|
found = []
|
|
for region_start, region_stop in regions:
|
|
region_buffer = (ctypes.c_byte * (region_stop - region_start))()
|
|
p.read_memory(region_start, region_buffer)
|
|
found += utils.search_buffer(ctypes.c_ulong(123456790), region_buffer)
|
|
|
|
Other useful methods include the context manager, implemented as a static method:
|
|
|
|
with Process.open_process(pid) as p:
|
|
# use p here, no need to call p.close()
|
|
|
|
.get_path(), which reports the path of the executable file which was used
|
|
to start the process:
|
|
|
|
executable_path = p.get_path()
|
|
|
|
and deref_struct_pointer, which takes a pointer to a struct and reads out the struct members:
|
|
|
|
# struct is a list of (offset, buffer) pairs
|
|
struct_defintion = [(0x0, ctypes.c_ulong()),
|
|
(0x20, ctypes.c_byte())]
|
|
values = p.deref_struct_pointer(0x0feab4, struct_defintion)
|
|
|
|
which is shorthand for
|
|
|
|
struct_addr = p.read_memory(0x0feab4, ctypes.c_void_p())
|
|
values = [p.read_memory(struct_addr + 0x0, ctypes.c_ulong()),
|
|
p.read_memory(struct_addr + 0x20, ctypes.c_byte())]
|
|
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Putting all this together, a simple program which alters a magic number in the only running
|
|
instance of 'magic.exe' might look like this:
|
|
|
|
import ctypes
|
|
from mem_edit import Process
|
|
|
|
magic_number = ctypes.ulong(1234567890)
|
|
|
|
pid = Process.get_pid_by_name('magic.exe')
|
|
with Process.open_process(pid) as p:
|
|
addrs = p.search_all_memory(magic_number)
|
|
assert(len(addrs) == 1)
|
|
p.write_memory(addrs[0], ctypes.c_ulong(42))
|
|
|
|
Searching for a value which changes:
|
|
|
|
pid = Process.get_pid_by_name('monitor_me.exe')
|
|
with Process.open_process(pid) as p:
|
|
addrs = p.search_all_memory(ctypes.c_int(40))
|
|
input('Press enter when value has changed to 55')
|
|
filtered_addrs = p.search_addresses(addrs, ctypes.c_int(55))
|
|
print('Found addresses:')
|
|
for addr in filtered_addrs:
|
|
print(hex(addr))
