Implementing LZMA

January 5, 2009

Hi

I was trying to code my own packer, and after finishing most of the imports processing, I was going to move over to compressing the sections.

LZMA provides a pretty good compression so I chose it over aplib, also because aplib only works on x86 from what it says on their website.

Anyway, I downloaded the LZMA SDK and it's a complete mess.

There is no documentation whatsoever, just 4 folders, one for each programming language. There is only some decompression code for ANSI C, and the C++ code is totally messed up, 4 subfolders, all with the most meaningless names.

I dont have a single clue which files to copy and what functions to call.

Has anyone ever dealt with this stuff ? I could use the dll for packing, but I don't want to ship the dll with it, and I'd have to keep a dll for each platform. But I still need the decompression code for the packer stub.

Could anyone point me in the right direction ?

I've attached LZMA decompression function (from RLPack 1.21). I hope it's what you're looking for

Here is a packer called SimplePack which uses LZMA and has source code too:

Thanks, but I was looking for how to include it in C++. Should have mentioned that in the text, doh ^^

Heh, I knew the name was familiar, this stuff was ripped from Packman.

I took another look and hell yeah, it comes with C++ source

Thanks

As far as I see, LzmaEncoder is the class you are looking for and Code method is to be called when you want to compress something. There are also few steps before this.

I stopped using anything but C# since a long time, so I'll point you to an example there. You should look for LzmaAlone (or Lzma_Alone for other languages) project if you want to see some exampes.

In LzmaAlone.cs file, following code is one that does most of the job. You also need to set some properties before, open streams etc.

				Compression.LZMA.Encoder encoder = new Compression.LZMA.Encoder();
				encoder.SetCoderProperties(propIDs, properties);
				encoder.WriteCoderProperties(outStream);
				Int64 fileSize;
				if (eos || stdInMode)
					fileSize = -1;
				else
					fileSize = inStream.Length;
				for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
					outStream.WriteByte((Byte)(fileSize >> (8 * i)));
				if (trainStream != null)
				{
					CDoubleStream doubleStream = new CDoubleStream();
					doubleStream.s1 = trainStream;
					doubleStream.s2 = inStream;
					doubleStream.fileIndex = 0;
					inStream = doubleStream;
					long trainFileSize = trainStream.Length;
					doubleStream.skipSize = 0;
					if (trainFileSize > dictionary)
						doubleStream.skipSize = trainFileSize - dictionary;
					trainStream.Seek(doubleStream.skipSize, SeekOrigin.Begin);
					encoder.SetTrainSize((uint)(trainFileSize - doubleStream.skipSize));
				}
				encoder.Code(inStream, outStream, -1, -1, null);

this is a bump and a half, but I figured I should post here.

Is there a version of this LZMA depacker that preserves the stack?

the ASM version of aplib works flawlessly though...

Check out 7zips page that has an LZMA SDK:

Thanks, but I meant the ASM version of depacking LZMA .

Couldn't you place a PUSHAD/POPAD pair at the epilogue/prologue of the function to preserve the registers? The decompress function uses EBP to reference its parameters and placing the PUSHAD after the locals are allocated on the stack means that any EBP indexing will remain accurate. When the function completes, POPAD restores all registers before the return value is placed in EAX, then the stack is cleaned up with LEAVE and RET 0C.

You could also use individual pushes to save only EDX, EBX, ESI EDI but PUSHAD uses one byte and doesn't present any performance loss when used here. I don't have a clue what the clock cycles are when comparing PUSHAD to PUSH, maybe the speed a function which was called a lot (such as in the case of factorizing numbers or in an imaging library when blending) could be increased with streamlining two x two PUSHes but for this function PUSHAD is suitable imho.

*facepalm*

forgot that, thanx!

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks Ghandi.

The code had a overhead of around 1902 bytes.

Not bad for something offering quite significant savings over aplib.

Nice to know it worked, glad i could help .

If i recall correctly, doesn't LZMA compression efficiency increase (up to a threshold limit) in accordance to the size of files/chunks increasing? I think that is why some compression tools offer the choice of both but I'm not sure.

Yep you are correct, the compression efficiency seems to be related to the size of the data. Under a certain limit, its worth just using libraries like JCALG and aplib, since the overhead of the LZMA depacker is too much. Plus, it seems those algorithms get good rates anyway on small sets of data, and the difference then with LZMA is only a few KB. o.o

From my experiments with aplib in my packer, more often than not, aplib works really well with small targets like crackmes, and some of my keygen/patch templates. LZMA worked really well on my bigger stuff like my GBA emulator, plus some other emulators/apps I tried (which are around 800KB-10MB in size). Multimedia stuff it seems compresses great, which is nice. I'm considering adding some detection for such size exes/dlls, and then compression could be chosen optimally on the fly. Of course, overrides would be added in that case, too.

I suppose implementing a code preprocessor ala how kkrunchy does compression could help with code compression even more, especially with LZ based compressors like aplib. I'm interested to research how other algorithms go, too, like PAQ or even more LZ variants like LZH...
