Hook Example JavaScript

var GetModuleFileName = new ApiHook();
/*
DWORD WINAPI GetModuleFileName(
  _In_opt_ HMODULE hModule,
  _Out_    LPTSTR  lpFilename,
  _In_     DWORD   nSize
);
*/
GetModuleFileName.OnCallBack = function (Emu, API, ret) {

	Emu.pop(); // ret
	
	var hModule    = Emu.isx64 ? Emu.ReadReg(REG_RCX) : Emu.pop();
	var lpFilename = Emu.isx64 ? Emu.ReadReg(REG_RDX) : Emu.pop();
	var nSize	   = Emu.isx64 ? Emu.ReadReg(REG_R8D) : Emu.pop();

	var mName = Emu.GetModuleName(hModule);
	var Path = 'C:\\pla\\' + mName;

	var len = API.IsWapi ? Emu.WriteStringW(lpFilename,Path) : Emu.WriteStringA(lpFilename,Path);

	// null byte - mybe needed maybe not :D - i put it anyway :V 
	API.IsWapi ? Emu.WriteWord(lpFilename + (len * 2),0) : Emu.WriteByte(lpFilename+len,0);

	print("{0}(0x{1}, 0x{2}, 0x{3}) = '{4}'".format(
		API.name,
		hModule.toString(16),
		lpFilename.toString(16),
		nSize.toString(16),
		Path
	));

	// MS Docs : the return value is the length of the string
	Emu.SetReg(Emu.isx64 ? REG_RAX : REG_EAX, len);	
	Emu.SetReg(Emu.isx64 ? REG_RIP : REG_EIP, ret);
	return true; // true if you handle it false if you want Emu to handle it and set PC .
};

GetModuleFileName.install('kernel32.dll', 'GetModuleFileNameA');
GetModuleFileName.install('kernel32.dll', 'GetModuleFileNameW');

var _vsnprintf = new ApiHook();
/*
int _vsnprintf(  
   char *buffer,  
   size_t count,  
   const char *format,  
   va_list argptr   
);
*/
_vsnprintf.OnCallBack = function (Emu, API, ret) {

	// save the param to args
	// args is an Array and it's implemented in every ApiHook .
	_vsnprintf.args[0] = Emu.isx64 ? Emu.ReadReg(REG_RCX) : Emu.ReadDword(Emu.ReadReg(REG_ESP) + 4);

	// i think implementing this in JS is hard 
	// so just let the library handle it :D 
	return true; // True so we continue to the lib code .
};

// OnExit Callback ..
_vsnprintf.OnExit = function(Emu,API){
	
	// Read Our Saved Param .
	var buffer = _vsnprintf.args[0];

	warn("OnExit : _vsnprintf() = '{0}' ".format(
		Emu.ReadStringA(buffer)
	));
}

_vsnprintf.install('msvcrt.dll', '_vsnprintf');

WIP BY Priority :

• Memory Manager - Next version
• Checking for Bug & fixing them 👌🏻
• Api schema forwarder still need more improvements and testing

TODO BY Priority :

• PC (RIP - EIP) Hook.
• improving exception handling.
• Native Plugins & API Hook Libs.
• Api schema forwarder.
• Add Memory Manager.
• Sysenter / Syscall Global Hook in JS.
• Control TEB/PEB in JS.
• Interactive debug shell.
• Add Assembler.
• Implement Threading.

Requirements

• Freepascal >= v3
• Unicorn Engine
• Zydis Engine
• QuickJS Engine

Installation

• Install Lazarus IDE
• You will find all needed libraries in "libraries" Folder ;)
• Now Build

Build

1. Build Cmulator

git clone https://github.com/Coldzer0/Cmulator.git

Open "Cmulator.lpi" with Lazarus IDE 

Then Hit Compile :D
Oh Before that you need to select the Build Mode

From Laz IDE Select 

Projects -> Project Options -> Compiler Options 

and Select the Mode for your OS .

Or Just Download From Releases

<br><br>

2. Create config.json config file

touch config.json

3. Set Win dlls Path

set the dll folders to where you stored your windows dlls and JS Main File .

{
  "system": {
    "win32": "../win_dlls/x32_win7",
    "win64": "../win_dlls/x64_win7",
    "Apiset": "../Apiset.json"
  },
  "JS": {
  	"main": "../API.JS"
  }
}

Run

./Cmulator -file samples/AntiDebug.exe

Documentation

Still working on it , will be available soon.
