Hi!


 


I have a PECompact protected target from 2010. I have succesfully unpacked the exe but it's sames that some codes are virtualized. I succesfully identifed the main VM handler routine, the VM Image base, the number of VM handlers, the address of hanlders, but I can not identify which code virtualizer is used. The big mistyc for me that the VM is located inside the main Code section and not in different section.


 


I tried to devirtualize it with VMSweeper and Oreans Unvirtualizer but without success. (It's seems it's that is not VMSweeper or Oreans Codevirtualizer is used)


 


I tried several packer detectors (die, exeinfo pe, peid, protection id), but none of than detects any protection inside the unpacked file.


 


Maybe someone can give me a hint which code virtualizer locate itself inside the main code section ?

upload it somewhere?

The fact that the VM lies in the very same (first?) code section might hint that it has not been added after compilation. It might have been part of the original source code and thus custom. As evlncrn8 said, upload the binary or at least paste the VM's disassembly somewhere.

Careful there... Since your target was packed by pecompact after being virtualized, you can't really tell what was in which section before packing. ;) PECompact loves to stuff everything together in one large section, iirc.

 

EDIT: clarification.

Hi!


 


First of all, thx the answers...


 


Here are some snippet:


 


1. This is the first push/jmp section, where 0x433EEC is the address of the main VM Handler:



004852DF > \68 D8EE4400 PUSH d_SCY.0044EED8
004852E4 .^ E9 03ECFAFF JMP d_SCY.00433EEC
004852E9 > 68 2DB94500 PUSH d_SCY.0045B92D
004852EE .^ E9 F9EBFAFF JMP d_SCY.00433EEC
004852F3 > 68 60174600 PUSH d_SCY.00461760
004852F8 .^ E9 EFEBFAFF JMP d_SCY.00433EEC
004852FD > 68 BE8C4600 PUSH d_SCY.00468CBE
00485302 .^ E9 E5EBFAFF JMP d_SCY.00433EEC
00485307 > 68 64654700 PUSH d_SCY.00476564

3. The VM handler make a lots of jump and transformation on the key before jumping to the desired handler:



004418B1 > \0FB6C0 MOVZX EAX,AL
004418B4 . FF2487 JMP DWORD PTR DS:[EDI+EAX*4] ; jump to handler

4. As I said before it's very strange that the VM is not in different section, it's located in the main CODE section:



00400000 00001000 d_SCY PE header Imag R RWE
00401000 00085000 d_SCY .text code Imag R RWE
00486000 00002000 d_SCY .rsrc resources Imag R RWE
00488000 00001000 d_SCY .reloc data,relocat Imag R RWE
00489000 00002000 d_SCY .idata2 Imag R RWE
0048B000 00002000 d_SCY .SCY imports Imag R RWE

OEP: 0x40D653


VM Handler: 0x433EEC


VM Image Base: 0x433C00


Code Section Start: 0x401000


Code Section End: 0x485FFFF


 


I just tried to devirtualize the exe with Oreans Unvirtualzer and VMProtect using the followings parameter:


Code Start: 0x401000


Code Size: 0x23C00


VM Start: 0x433C00


VM Size: 0x61400


 


Bot plugins found lot's of VM References but none of them can identify VM entry or signature.


 


Thx your help

I am not very good at thisbut looks like themida to me . the other type i am aware of is vmp but doesnt seem like vmp to me specially this pattern doesnt exist in vmp (the vm block change in vmp occurs by its handlers pointing to next block)

1. This is the first push/jmp section, where 0x433EEC is the address of the main VM Handler:

004852DF   > \68 D8EE4400   PUSH d_SCY.0044EED8004852E4   .^ E9 03ECFAFF   JMP d_SCY.00433EEC004852E9   >  68 2DB94500   PUSH d_SCY.0045B92D004852EE   .^ E9 F9EBFAFF   JMP d_SCY.00433EEC004852F3   >  68 60174600   PUSH d_SCY.00461760004852F8   .^ E9 EFEBFAFF   JMP d_SCY.00433EEC004852FD   >  68 BE8C4600   PUSH d_SCY.00468CBE00485302   .^ E9 E5EBFAFF   JMP d_SCY.00433EEC00485307   >  68 64654700   PUSH d_SCY.004765640048530C   .^ E9 DBEBFAFF   JMP d_SCY.00433EEC00485311   >  68 E9804700   PUSH d_SCY.004780E900485316   .^ E9 D1EBFAFF   JMP d_SCY.00433EEC0048531B   >  68 F0964700   PUSH d_SCY.004796F000485320   .^ E9 C7EBFAFF   JMP d_SCY.00433EEC00485325   >  68 B7B44700   PUSH d_SCY.0047B4B70048532A   .^ E9 BDEBFAFF   JMP d_SCY.00433EEC0048532F   >  68 FEC44700   PUSH d_SCY.0047C4FE00485334   .^ E9 B3EBFAFF   JMP d_SCY.00433EEC00485339   >  68 B9D74700   PUSH d_SCY.0047D7B90048533E   .^ E9 A9EBFAFF   JMP d_SCY.00433EEC

also "lods" isnt used by vmp afaik . only so far i have seem themida using it
