Work In Progess

The home for Interruptor, a human-friendly interrupts hook library based on Frida's Stalker

Interruptor is the interrupts/systemcall hooking system from Dexcalibur.

Quick start for Android app (could not work as is with obfuscated app) :
``
frida --codeshare FrenchYeti/android-arm64-strace -U -f YOUR_BINARY
`

If you like it, please consider to buy :moneybag: Dexcalibur Pro or :sparkling_heart: sponsor me. Sponsor encourage me to free parts of Dexcalibur Pro and spend more free time on such projects :)

The purpose of this library is to provide to Frida users, a rich API able to produce strace-like trace + hook + configurable syscall args API.

It provides by default some useful features such as :
* File Descriptor lookup (to retrieve path)
* Bitmap parsing to have humean-friendly output
* Syscall hook using Frida's Interceptor style
* Better api to trace/change syscall args before/after
* Filterable modules and syscalls
* Coverage generation

1. How to use

In fact, install is not necessary. Just include the released minified JS file corresponding to your target os/arch into your Frida agent's script. Or call it throuh Frida's Codeshare.

Warning : this methods don't allow you to configure Interruptor. So, tracing of obfuscated or multi-threaded application could failed.

This method is only provided for training purpose.
`
frida --codeshare FrenchYeti/android-arm64-strace -f YOUR_BINARY
`




$3

Requirements :

* frida

Donwload latest release for your architecture into your working directory,
and do:

`
import target from './index.linux.arm64.js';
import {DebugUtils} from "./src/common/DebugUtils.js";

const Interruptor = target.LinuxArm64({});

Interruptor.newAgentTracer({
followThread: true,
scope: {
syscalls: {
exclude: [/clock_gettime/]
},
modules: {
exclude: [/linker/]
}
}
}).start();
`

Time to deploy hooks can be configured to be when a particular library is loaded. See options below.

$3

Requirements :

* frida

Only from source for now (will move to NPM ASAP)
`
git clone https://github.com/FrenchYeti/interruptor
cd interruptor
npm install
`

And finally :
`
frida -U -l ./examples/simple_strace.ts -f
`

2. Examples

Simple tracing without hook from attach moment, with excluded module and syscall (by name)
`
var Interruptor = require('./android-arm64-strace.min.js').target.LinuxArm64();

// better results, when app is loaded
Java.perform(()=>{
Interruptor.newAgentTracer({
exclude: {
modules: ["linker64"],
syscalls: ["clock_gettime"]
}
}).start();
});

5. Documentation

First, you need to get the tracer factory adapted to your OS/Architecture :
For now only "LinuxArm64()" is available.
`
var Interruptor = require('../dist/index.js').target.LinuxArm64();
`

Next step is to intanciante a tracer with a specific options.
Options are not mandatory but can change a lot the behavior and output.
`
Interruptor.newAgentTracer( / opts /);
`

A full list of options can be found into the next section.

Final step, choose when you want to start to trace :
* A. When frida script is executed
`
var Interruptor = require('../dist/index.js').target.LinuxArm64();

Interruptor.newAgentTracer( / opts /).start();
`

* B. The first time a module is opened by the linker
`
var Interruptor = require('../dist/index.js').target.LinuxArm64();

Interruptor.newAgentTracer( / opts /).startOnLoad(/my_lib\.so$/g);
`

* C. From your hooks
`
var Interruptor = require('../dist/index.js').target.LinuxArm64();

Interceptor.attach( / ... /,{
onEnter: function(){
Interruptor.newAgentTracer( / opts /).start();
}
})
`

$3

All options are optional, except some explicited options
Below, a complete overview of options :
`
{
followFork: TRUE | FALSE ] // TODO
followThread: TRUE | FALSE ] // TODO
tid: ,
pid: ,
onStart: ,
exclude: {
syscalls: [ ... syscall names ... ], // "read", ...
modules: [ ... module names ... ], // "linker64" ...
svc: [ ... SVC number ...], // 0x1e, ...
hvc: [ ... HVC number ...]
},
// coverage options
coverage: {
enabled = true,
flavor = "dr", // not supported
fname = "/data/data/my_app/drcov.dat", // MANDATORY
stops = 2000 // MANDATORY
},
// output options (partially implemented)
output: {
flavor: "dxc", // "strace" is coming
tid: true,
pid: false,
module: true,
dump_buff: true, // dump buffer when ptr+size are known
highlight: {
syscalls: []
}
},
// hooks
svc: {
[syscall_text_name]: {
onEnter: function(pContext){

},
onLeave: function(pContext){

}
}
}
}
`
#### 5.B.1 Filtering

! Important !

When a system is excluded, it is not hooked and printed. By consequence, some feature can not work properly such as file descriptor lookup when "openat" is excluded.


All interruption types can be filtered using at least the interruption number. Additionnally, Modules and System calls can be filtered by name (string pattern or regexp) or by properties (using a filtering function).

`
Interruptor.newAgentTracer({
followThread: false,
include: {
modules: ["libc.so"],
syscalls: [/^get/,"read","openat","close",/^m/]
},
exclude: {
syscalls: [ /time$/]
},
output: {
tid: true,
inst: true,
module: true
}
}).start();
`


Modules and System calls are filtering by following one of these tree ways : Hook/trace only instructions
* from a list of mapped modules
* from modules not included into "exclude list" of mapped modules
* from included modules - excluded modules

`
include: {
syscalls: [
"read",
"openat",
"close",
/^m/, // mprotect, madvise, mmap, ...
/^get/ // getpriority, getuid, getpid, ...
]
},
``

There are mainly two way to hook interrupts depending of yours needs.

Agent Tracer

When you want to use only a Frida agent script (and not host script).

Limitation:

Cannot follow children/multiples processes.

Standalone Tracer [TODO]

When you need to follow children processes, or external processes.
It works even if there is not link between traces processes.

In this case, the final script runs on the host and act like strace tool into the host or the device.
