Hpak Overflow Using Strings Plugin #496

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use an uncompress hpak memory dump 
2. create a string file from mem using strings -q -o mem.img>raw_strings.txt
3. run volatility using -f mem.img strings -s raw_strings.txt >vol_strings.txt

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected behavior is a volatility map of the strings to their respective 
places in memory (correlation).

Hi Robin, 

I assume this is an XP x86 memory dump since you didn't use --profile in your 
strings command? Do plugins like pslist and psscan work on the uncompressed 
memory dump? 

Also, please run hpakinfo on the memory dump so we can see the metadata 
associated with it (the memory runs, etc). 

Thanks

Hi Robin, 

Just to clarify, previously you mentioned the commands were:

$ strings -q -o mem.img > raw_strings.txt
$ python vol.py -f mem.img strings -s raw_strings.txt > vol_strings.txt

From the imageinfo output, it looks like the profile would be Win2003SP2x86. 
Did you supply that as --profile=Win2003SP2x86 in your Volatility command? 

Also, the first command (strings -q -o) should be run on a raw memory dump, not 
directly against the MECTXPRD06.hpak file. The extra headers that the .hpak 
file contains will throw off the offsets during translation. 

To produce a raw memory dump from your .hpak file, use the hpakextract command. 
So try it again but this time:

1) Extract a raw memory sample 
2) Run strings -q -o on the raw memory sample
3) When you use Volatility's strings plugin, make sure to specify 
--profile=Win2003SP2x86

Let me know if that works better.

Thanks, yes I did specify the profile. it was uncompressed so i didn't take
into consideration the hpak header throwing off the offsets.  unfortunately
when i tried to use hpakextract it didn't work ( i can easily use fdpro
though).

I appreciate your time, I know you're not around to catch my stupid
mistakes ;)

I'll test it now.

Hi Robin, 

How did the test go? 

Also, in what way did hpakextract fail? Did you receive any error messages or 
did something just not work the way you expected? Please let me know, so we can 
fix whatever problem exists with that plugin. 

Thanks!

Sorry

I was working the case, cuz everything worked fine...head down ;)

As far as hpakextract, I'll double back and see what I did wrong.  I know I
got no error message it ended normally.

Thanks again

Hi Robin, 

Just checking if you were able to run hpakextract again and see if there was 
really an issue. Can you let me know? 

Thanks!

omg...sorry, down the rabbit hole again with a few gigs of PCAPs.  Let me
see if I can go back and pull the command out of my notes.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Robin, 

I'm going to close this issue and assume you'll let me know if this becomes a 
problem again in the future.

I am having problems extracting the raw memory image from the .hpak file.  What 
is the proper syntax to use?  

I have been trying:  vol -f /memory.hpak hpakextract --output-file=/memory.bin

The output is a zero length memory.bin file

Don't know if it matters, but I am using Framework 2.3.1 that comes with Kali 
Linux.
