@启动 它就像魔法一样。非常感谢您的努力。

顺便问一下，您是如何修改原始 ScyllaHide x64 插件的源代码的？

问候。

ahhhh! he modified ntdll's export table to trick VMP like the wine_get_version function exists! Very nice trick :D

 

3.8.8 is working.

If compiling a 32-bit ScyllaHide plugin, although it can bypass VMP's Anti-DeBug on Win7 x64 SP1, it does not work on Win10/11 x64.

Haven't tried yet but I don't see a (theoretical) reason why it should not work on Win10/11 x64. Can you explain that?

I tested the original author's code and found that it doesn't seem to bypass the protection properly on x86 systems.

VMProtect does not appear to search through the entire Export Table to find the desired function.

So, I modified the code to overwrite the last export function of ntdll.dll with wine_get_version and then place the original function right after it. As a result, the bypass worked successfully!

  

void AddWineFunctionName(HANDLE hProcess)
{
    BYTE* remote_ntdll = (BYTE*)GetModuleBaseRemote(hProcess, L"ntdll.dll");
    if (!remote_ntdll)
        return;

    SIZE_T readed = 0;
    IMAGE_DOS_HEADER dos_header;
    ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, remote_ntdll, &dos_header, sizeof(IMAGE_DOS_HEADER), &readed);
    if (dos_header.e_magic != IMAGE_DOS_SIGNATURE)
        return;

    IMAGE_NT_HEADERS pe_header;
    ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, (BYTE*)remote_ntdll + dos_header.e_lfanew, &pe_header, sizeof(IMAGE_NT_HEADERS), &readed);
    if (pe_header.Signature != IMAGE_NT_SIGNATURE)
        return;

    DWORD export_adress = pe_header.OptionalHeader.DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_EXPORT].VirtualAddress;
    if (!export_adress)
        return;

    DWORD export_size = pe_header.OptionalHeader.DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_EXPORT].Size;

    BYTE* new_export_table = (BYTE*)VirtualAllocEx(hProcess, remote_ntdll + 0x1000000, export_size + 0x1000, MEM_COMMIT | MEM_RESERVE, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE);

    IMAGE_EXPORT_DIRECTORY export_directory;
    ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, remote_ntdll + export_adress, &export_directory, sizeof(IMAGE_EXPORT_DIRECTORY), &readed);

    BYTE* tmp_table = (BYTE*)malloc(export_size + 0x1000);
    if (tmp_table == nullptr) return;

    // Copy functions table
    BYTE* new_functions_table = new_export_table;
    ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, remote_ntdll + export_directory.AddressOfFunctions, tmp_table, export_directory.NumberOfFunctions * sizeof(DWORD), &readed);
    WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, new_functions_table, tmp_table, export_directory.NumberOfFunctions * sizeof(DWORD), &readed);
    g_log.LogInfo(L"[VMPBypass] new_functions_table: %p", new_functions_table);

    // Copy ordinal table
    BYTE* new_ordinal_table = new_functions_table + export_directory.NumberOfFunctions * sizeof(DWORD) + 0x100;
    ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, remote_ntdll + export_directory.AddressOfNameOrdinals, tmp_table, export_directory.NumberOfNames * sizeof(WORD), &readed);
    WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, new_ordinal_table, tmp_table, export_directory.NumberOfNames * sizeof(WORD), &readed);
    g_log.LogInfo(L"[VMPBypass] new_ordinal_table: %p", new_ordinal_table);

    // Copy name table
    BYTE* new_name_table = new_ordinal_table + export_directory.NumberOfNames * sizeof(WORD) + 0x100;
    ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, remote_ntdll + export_directory.AddressOfNames, tmp_table, export_directory.NumberOfNames * sizeof(DWORD), &readed);
    WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, new_name_table, tmp_table, export_directory.NumberOfNames * sizeof(DWORD), &readed);
    g_log.LogInfo(L"[VMPBypass] new_name_table: %p", new_name_table);

    free(tmp_table);
    tmp_table = nullptr;

    // Setup new name & name offset
    BYTE* wine_func_addr = new_name_table + export_directory.NumberOfNames * sizeof(DWORD) + 0x100;
    WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, wine_func_addr, "wine_get_version\x00", 17, &readed);
    DWORD wine_func_offset = (DWORD)(wine_func_addr - remote_ntdll);
    WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, new_name_table + export_directory.NumberOfNames * sizeof(DWORD), &wine_func_offset, 4, &readed);

    // Set fake ordinal
    WORD last_ordinal = export_directory.NumberOfNames;
    WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, new_ordinal_table + export_directory.NumberOfNames * sizeof(WORD), &last_ordinal, 2, &readed);

    // Get address of GetCurrentTeb function to be placed after the new function
    BYTE* get_current_teb = reinterpret_cast<BYTE*>(GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle(L"ntdll.dll"), "NtCurrentTeb"));
    DWORD get_current_teb_offset = (DWORD)(get_current_teb - remote_ntdll);

    // Set new function address (wine_get_version) and GetCurrentTeb function address
    DWORD new_function_offset = get_current_teb_offset;
    WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, new_functions_table + export_directory.NumberOfFunctions * sizeof(DWORD), &new_function_offset, 4, &readed);

    // Setup new directory
    export_directory.NumberOfNames++;
    export_directory.NumberOfFunctions++;

    DWORD name_table_offset = (DWORD)(new_name_table - remote_ntdll);
    export_directory.AddressOfNames = name_table_offset;

    DWORD function_table_offset = (DWORD)(new_functions_table - remote_ntdll);
    export_directory.AddressOfFunctions = function_table_offset;

    DWORD ordinal_table_offset = (DWORD)(new_ordinal_table - remote_ntdll);
    export_directory.AddressOfNameOrdinals = ordinal_table_offset;

    // Change the offset of header data
    DWORD old_prot;
    VirtualProtectEx(hProcess, remote_ntdll + export_adress, sizeof(IMAGE_EXPORT_DIRECTORY), PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, &old_prot);
    WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, remote_ntdll + export_adress, &export_directory, sizeof(IMAGE_EXPORT_DIRECTORY), &readed);
    VirtualProtectEx(hProcess, remote_ntdll + export_adress, sizeof(IMAGE_EXPORT_DIRECTORY), old_prot, &old_prot);
}

I confirmed that my Windows 10 version works fine.

cheers!

That's correct. It does binary search (see the implementation here), as the names in the export table are supposed to be ordered lexically. The code in https://bbs.kanxue.com/thread-282244.htm doesn't take that into account.
However, this hasn't changed between Win7/Win10/Win11 - if it worked on one system, it should have worked on all of them.

I think the issue has to do with ntdll differences between Win7 vs Win10/11.  Keep in mind the WinSDK is free to change and there are many times where they don't maintain backwards compatibility on internal APIs, unlike the normal WinAPI

Original 32-bit (Imperfect Version).zip
This plugin is effective on Win7 x64 SP1; But it fails in Win10/11 x64. 
e.g.

VMP_3.8.7_x86_32-bit.vmp.exe

  • Win10 x64 ×

By recompiling the 32-bit plugin according to the modified code provided by karan, the above issue has been resolved.

The revised and recompiled complete version is now uploaded as follows, and has been tested to be effective in Win7/10/11 x64.

IIRC, you can use the generic injector with IDA. Check the docs and let us know, if you test it..

I don't know coding and understand this code but I see they import some api and try to protect one function which I was protected in my old loader at that times because they have src code of code and can devirtualized with it.

I mean after virtualized some function they still virtualized the part of code.

@boot would yuo like send one example of vmp latest  version with api redirection for the vb please ?

I tried to rebuild ScyllaHide using some old versions of project code to make it compatible with Windows XP 32-bit/x86. I think XP is a classic OS...

Hey, I'm new to this. I'm testing this with vmprotected game, it does not show debugger present error but it shows `File corrupted! This program has been manipulated and maybe it's infected by a Virus or cracked. This file won't work anymore` anyone have similar issue?

O~~K..

VMProtect has been updated now!

The latest version changed to find the "wine_get_host_version" function instead of "wine_get_version".

Sharp OD is no longer bypassed, I think that have to use TitanHide now.

and, Bypassing Anti-Debug using wine-related functions also no longer works.
