Keygenning ESET’s CONFidence 2012 Crackme

Intro

Hi again. First, sorry for delaying this post so much, but i am currently so busy, that barely i am finding time for something more than necessities. Anyways, here comes the post about keygenning the CONFidence 2012 Crackme…

In contrary to my previous post (focused on obtaining the key) now i will focus on  analysis of the obfuscated algorithm used in generating MMX instructions. I assume, that you read my previous post, so if not – please refer to it.

If you don’t care about tutorial, just want to see the keygen – it’s here:

Analysis

As we know, the MMX instructions are stored in a piece of memory starting at 403090. Generation of MMX instructions comes directly before the call to it, so it’s easy to spot. Before, the piece of memory from 403090 to 4044d0 is cleared (with RtlZeroMemory).

Pay attention at arguments, which are passed to the generating function (40118A). Content of EBX is pretty obvious – it is a pointer to the memory to be filled (304090). But in ESI there is 403000 and it means…

The piece of memory, where the hashes are stored. From 403000 to 40300f there is a copy of hash#1 (md5 of the given username). It is important information – this hash will be used in generating MMX instructions.

So, lets follow inside the generating function. Before the user-specific instructions will be genetated, first the MMX prolog is decrypted.

Six dwords, stored at memory addresses from 417a8 are XOR-ed with 45534554. And the result is:

Looks familiar? Yeah, it was easy, but now the real fun begins… 🙂

Some initial values are set. ECX = 100h = 256… If you remember, there are 256 blocks of MMX instructions, so it may have something to deal with it…

Then it comes to processing of the hash#1. This part is slightly obfuscated, so i will explain it.

00401121   . 5E             POP ESI
00401122   . C2 0400        RETN 4

As we see, the piece of memory containing hash#1 is modified after each execution of those instructions. Value of EAX is modified – it changes according to the content of memory at 403000 – that’s how the value of hash influences the process of generating MMX instructions. But obviously, we need to know details… The question is, how exectly every MMX instruction is generated and what is the connection between it and the hash/processed hash?

The previously described function is called twice. The result of first call is stored in EDX. (I will denote this function as get_cmd_base).

00401125   $ 52             PUSH EDX
00401126   . 56             PUSH ESI
00401127   . 8B7424 0C      MOV ESI,DWORD PTR SS:[ESP+C]             ;  ESI = 403000
0040112B   > 51             PUSH ECX                                 ;  bgn#1
[...]
0040114C   . 59             POP ECX
0040114D   . 56             PUSH ESI
0040114E   . E8 63FFFFFF    CALL Unpacked.004010B6        ; modify memory at 403000
00401153   . 8BD0           MOV EDX,EAX    ; EAX  = result of function at 4010B6
00401155   . 56             PUSH ESI
00401156   . E8 5BFFFFFF    CALL Unpacked.004010B6            ; modify (again) memory at 403000
0040115B   . 8D0450         LEA EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+EDX*2]
[...]
00401181   . 85C0           TEST EAX,EAX
00401183   >^74 A6          JE SHORT Unpacked.0040112B               ;  ;goto #bgn1
00401185   . 5E             POP ESI
00401186   . 5A             POP EDX
00401187   . C2 0400        RETN 4

Then, the first result is multiplied by 2 and added to second result in EAX.

DWORD get_cmd_base(BYTE *hashBuffer)
{
    DWORD eax, edx;
do {
edx = process_hash(hashBuffer);
eax = process_hash(hashBuffer);
eax = eax + edx * 2;
} while (eax == 0);

return eax;
}

What are the possible valueas of EAX?

EAX = EAX + EDX * 2

where right side EAX and EDX are results from 403000 modifying function. So, EAX, EDX can take a value either 0 or 1. Means left side EAX (res) is:

| EAX | EDX | res |
-------------------
|  0  |  0  |  0  |
|  1  |  0  |  1  |
|  0  |  1  |  2  |
|  1  |  1  |  3  |
-------------------

If EAX == 0, then everything is repeated once again – (after some obfuscation) we go back to the same piece of code. If EAX != 0, then instruction is generated on its base.

Below is how the first instruction comes. The first instruction is MOVQ [MM6/MM7], [MM0/MM1]

004014D5   . 33D8           XOR EBX,EAX
004014D7   . C3             RETN

The first out of 6 instructions is generated…

And then, generating next instruction: MOVQ [MM7/MM6],[MM2/MM3/MM4/MM5].

The choice of first register depends on the previous. if previously we had MOVQ MM6,[…] now there must be MOV MM7,[…]. The second choice is independent.

The second out of 6 instructions…

Third instruction:

As we know, 3-rd, 4-ty and 5-th instructions are various. Here we see from where this variety comes. The call to an instruction generating procedure is done to various places in memory, depeending on EAX.

004012DE   > 56             PUSH ESI                                 ;  Unpacked.00403000
004012DF   . E8 41FEFFFF    CALL Unpacked.00401125

00401319   . E8 07000000    CALL Unpacked.00401325                   ;  //after #3

EAX = {1, 2, 3}
[EAX*4+40146D] = {401471, 401475, 401479}

EAX = 1 -> call 4015A6
EAX = 2 -> call 4016C3
EAX = 3 -> call 4014D8

As we see, in each of these 3 cases, the function at 401125 is called. It leads, after some obfuscation, again to 40114D (described above, which result is “res”). Then, the “res” is used in further operations. After deobfuscation it is:

As we see, when the EAX = 3 some 4-byte instruction is created (like PSLLD MM6,2). Other two cases creates 3-byte instructions (like PSUBW MM6,MM3).

– then if follows analogicaly like 3-rd.

and navigation goes back to generation of first instruction. As we see, ECX is decremented –  exactly 256 blocks of 6 instructions are generated.

The full MMX Generating code for any given login You can find in attached example: Generator.cpp

Keygenning

The MMX Generator was a missing piece of puzzle. Other pieces are described in my previous post. Now we must put them together and the keygen is ready!
But as we know, the generated MMX instructions must be reversed. There are two things to be done about it:

  1. Reversing the last (6-th instruction) in every block
  2. Reversing the order of blocks (first block must be the last and so on)

Ok, let’s do it one by one.

Reversing the last (6-th instruction) in every block:

The set of possible instructions occuring in the 6-th line is: {PADDB, PADDW, PADDQ, PSUBB,PSUBW, PSUBQ, XOR}. Three type of addition (add BYTE, add DWORD, add QWORD), analogical substractions and XOR. Reversing table will look like this:

PADDB -> PSUBB
PADDW -> PSUBW
PADDD -> PSUBD
PSUBB -> PADDB
PSUBW -> PADDW
PSUBD -> PADDD
XOR   -> XOR

But we can operate on opcodes only. The representation of following instruction is:

 PADDB = 0xfc
 PADDW = 0xfd
 PADDQ = 0xfe
 PSUBB = 0xf8
 PSUBW = 0xf9
 PSUBQ = 0xfa
 XOR   = 0xef

So, when the 6-th instruction is generated, we must substitute one opcode by another – representing reversed operation. Take a look at the code generating 6-th instruction in Generator.cpp:

Instruction6:
    MOV EAX,EBX
    SHR EAX,5
    XOR EAX,8
    AND EAX,0x38
    SHR EBP,3
    AND EBP,7
    OR EBP,EAX
    OR EBP,0xC0

    call get_cmd_base
    MOV AH,AL
    AND AH,1
    SHL AH,4
    OR AH,0xEF
    MOV DL,AL
    AND DL,2
    SHL DL,1
    OR DL,0xFB
    AND DL,AH
    MOV DH,AL
    AND DH,1
    NEG DH

    call get_cmd_base
    AND DH,AL
    XOR DL,DH
    MOV EAX,EBP
    MOVZX EDX,DL
    MOVZX EAX,AL
    SHL EAX,0x10
    SHL EDX,8
    XOR EAX,EDX
    XOR EAX,0xCC00000F
    MOV EDI, bufIndex
    MOV DWORD PTR buffer[EDI], EAX
    ADD bufIndex,3

    MOV EAX,EBX
    SHR EAX,0x1F
    XOR EBX,EAX
RET

thus, instruction in EDX should be reversed before the XORing wih EAX (line 332). It can be done easyli:

if (EDX == 0xef) -> don’t do anything (it’s XOR)
else if (EDX EDX += 4
else -> EDX -= 4

I hope everything is clear 🙂

Reversing the order of blocks

We must fill the buffer of blocks from the back to front. Here the only problem is, we don’t know the exact length in bytes of a single block, because instructions{3, 4} can be either of 3 or of 4 bytes. That’s why we have to reserve memory for the maximal case and fill the gaps with NOPs (0x90).

Then, adding RET at the end of the buffer, and we can call the generated code as a function, from within assembler code. Mind that the keygen must be compiled with DEP (Data Execution Prevention) switched off (eventualy you can set this page of memory executable by VirtualProtect).

It’s time to look at the Keygen.cpp!

    Hey
    Good job with crackme. I read your solution and instantly noticed this:
    // remarks: compile with DEP disabled

    It’s caused by this lines:
    BYTE buffer[bufMax];
    void* generated = (void*)buffer;
    call generated

    You can just do VirtualProtect with PAGE_EXECUTE to get it work flowlessly with DEP.
    It would work on xpsp3 without that because ther’s no PAE kernel loaded at default.

    Pozdr
