[WINAPI] Enumerate all services

January 11, 2014

Hi everyone,

Some time ago I put this small utility together for a friend that needed it. Turns out to be a useful piece of code. Code was found on the internet, only slightly modified and cleaned up a little. Credits to the original author of the code (sorry, couldn't find the website I found it on).

This is the code:

#include <stdio.h>#include <windows.h>void ErrorDescription(DWORD p_dwError){    HLOCAL hLocal=0;    FormatMessage(FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM|FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER,                  0,                  p_dwError,                  MAKELANGID(LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US),                  (LPTSTR)&hLocal,                  0,                  0);    MessageBox(0, (LPCTSTR)LocalLock(hLocal), "Error", MB_ICONERROR|MB_SYSTEMMODAL);    LocalFree(hLocal);}int main(){    SC_HANDLE hManager=OpenSCManager(0, 0, SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS);    if(!hManager)    {        ErrorDescription(GetLastError());        return -1;    }    ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS service;    DWORD dwBytesNeeded=0;    DWORD dwServicesReturned=0;    DWORD dwResumedHandle=0;    if(!EnumServicesStatus(hManager,                           SERVICE_WIN32|SERVICE_DRIVER,                           SERVICE_STATE_ALL,                           &service,                           sizeof(ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS),                           &dwBytesNeeded,                           &dwServicesReturned,                           &dwResumedHandle))    {        if(GetLastError()==ERROR_MORE_DATA)        {            DWORD dwBytes=sizeof(ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS)+dwBytesNeeded;            ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS* pServices=0;            pServices=(ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS*)new BYTE[dwBytes];            EnumServicesStatus(hManager,                               SERVICE_WIN32|SERVICE_DRIVER,                               SERVICE_STATE_ALL, pServices,                               dwBytes,                               &dwBytesNeeded,                               &dwServicesReturned,                               &dwResumedHandle);            FILE* file=fopen("services.txt", "w+");            for(unsigned int i=0; i<dwServicesReturned; i++)            {                fprintf(file,                        "     DisplayName: %s\n"                        "     ServiceName: %s\n"                        "     ServiceType: 0x%.8X\n"                        "    CurrentState: 0x%.8X\n"                        "ControlsAccepted: 0x%.8X\n"                        "   Win32ExitCode: 0x%.8X\n"                        "SpecificExitCode: 0x%.8X\n"                        "      CheckPoint: 0x%.8X\n"                        "        WaitHint: 0x%.8X\n\n",                        (unsigned int)(pServices+i)->lpDisplayName,                        (unsigned int)(pServices+i)->lpServiceName,                        (unsigned int)(pServices+i)->ServiceStatus.dwServiceType,                        (unsigned int)(pServices+i)->ServiceStatus.dwCurrentState,                        (unsigned int)(pServices+i)->ServiceStatus.dwControlsAccepted,                        (unsigned int)(pServices+i)->ServiceStatus.dwWin32ExitCode,                        (unsigned int)(pServices+i)->ServiceStatus.dwServiceSpecificExitCode,                        (unsigned int)(pServices+i)->ServiceStatus.dwCheckPoint,                        (unsigned int)(pServices+i)->ServiceStatus.dwWaitHint);            }            fclose(file);            delete[] pServices;            pServices=0;        }        else            ErrorDescription(GetLastError());    }    if(!CloseServiceHandle(hManager))        ErrorDescription(GetLastError());    else        system("start services.txt");    return 0;}

Attached the binary.

hey,

i think you are allocating too much memory. Better use:

new BYTE[dwBytes]

Also you should call OpenSCManager only with SC_MANAGER_ENUMERATE_SERVICE access right. SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS will probably trigger UAC.

Hi

It give a good Tutorial here

Yup, you're probably right. As said, just copy&pasted this Will update it.

Yep, looks like an interesting tut

for dev-c++ i had to change the code to:

pServices=new ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS[dwBytes];

the printout was nice indeed... good stuff...

Tell ya what though, this Service Enumerator and a good System Module Driver Enumerator and thats kickin!

Now it should also be fixed in the initial post.

for(unsigned int i=0; i<dwServicesReturned; i++) {

fwprintf(

file,

L"Display Name\t\t: %s\n"

L" Service Name\t\t: %s\n"

L" ServiceType\t\t: 0x%p\n"

L" CurrentState\t\t: 0x%p\n"

L" ControlsAccepted\t: 0x%p\n"

L" Win32ExitCode\t\t: 0x%p\n"

L" ServiceExitCode\t: 0x%p\n"

L" CheckPoint\t\t: 0x%p\n"

L" WaitHint\t\t\t: 0x%p\n---------------------\n",

(pServices + i)->lpDisplayName,

(pServices + i)->lpServiceName,

(pServices + i)->ServiceStatus.dwServiceType,

(pServices + i)->ServiceStatus.dwCurrentState,

(pServices + i)->ServiceStatus.dwControlsAccepted,

(pServices + i)->ServiceStatus.dwWin32ExitCode,

(pServices + i)->ServiceStatus.dwServiceSpecificExitCode,

(pServices + i)->ServiceStatus.dwCheckPoint,

(pServices + i)->ServiceStatus.dwWaitHint);

}

Some useful additional information from SERVICE_STATUS structure...

Sorry to post again here. This snippet is really not that important, but due to my post you made a bad fix.

pServices=new ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS[dwBytes/sizeof(ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS)];

Please read this:

A pointer to a buffer that contains an array of ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS structures that receive the name and service status information for each service in the database. The buffer must be large enough to hold the structures, plus the strings to which their members point.

The only valid fix is:

new BYTE[dwBytes]

with a type cast obviously.

@Insid3Code: thanks for your contribution, code + binary has been updated!

@Aguila: you're right, the code has been updated

Very strange, updated the file, tested & working under winxp x32 sp3 + win7 x64

WaitHint: 0x00000000

Fixed with update binary...

Also, I have something wrong with (CloseServiceHandle(hManager))

LastError ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK (00000083) when the application tried to close the opened handle...

from -->> if(!CloseServiceHandle(hManager))

ErrorDescription(GetLastError());

to -->> CloseServiceHandle(hManager);

ErrorDescription(GetLastError());

To reproduce the behavior change the line above to catch the error!
