`AndroidDriveSignity`

AndroidDriveSignity is a Python script designed for patching Android kernel(ARMv8.3) files, enabling the loading of drivers without being subject to various verification checks, specifically signature verifications. This tool aims to facilitate the development and testing process by allowing developers to bypass the kernel's built-in security measures that prevent unofficial or modified drivers from being loaded.

Features

Targeted Symbol Patching: Modifies specific symbols within the kernel (check_modinfo, check_version, and module_sig_check) to circumvent driver signature verification mechanisms.
Intelligent Patching: Dynamically adjusts patching based on the presence of the PACIASP instruction, ensuring compatibility across different kernel configurations.
User-Friendly CLI: Provides a straightforward command-line interface for specifying the kernel binary, the kallsyms symbol table, and the output file paths.

Requirements

Rooted Android devices(ARMv8.3) with Magisk or KernelSU
Python 3.x
ADB

Usage

Prepare the Necessary Files: Ensure you have the kernel binary file (kernel_file_path), the kallsyms symbol table file (kallsyms_file_path), and a destination for the patched kernel (output_file_path).
Execute AndroidDriveSignity: Navigate to the script's directory in your terminal or command prompt and run:
```
python AndroidDriveSignity.py <kernel_file_path> <kallsyms_file_path> <output_file_path>
```

How to get your kallsyms?

adb shell
su
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
exit
exit
adb shell su -c "cat /proc/kallsyms > /data/local/tmp/kallsyms"
adb pull /data/local/tmp/kallsyms

How to extract your kernel file?

If there are two partitions, prioritize trying "boot_a":

adb shell su -c "dd if=$(readlink /dev/block/by-name/boot_a) of=/data/local/tmp/boot.img"

If there is only one partition, then it is "boot.img":

adb shell su -c "dd if=$(readlink /dev/block/by-name/boot) of=/data/local/tmp/boot.img"

Then, pull the boot image to your local machine:

adb pull /data/local/tmp/boot.img

Finally, use magiskboot to extract the kernel file from boot.img.

magiskboot --unpack boot.img

You will obtain two files: one is the kernel(your kernel file), and the other is ramdisk.cpio.

Testing on android12-5.10

python AndroidDriveSignity.py kernel kallsyms new-kernel
move/mv new-kernel kernel
magiskboot --repack boot.img
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot new-boot.img
fastboot reboot
adb push demo.ko /data/local/tmp
adb shell su -c insmod /data/local/tmp/demo.ko
adb shell su -c "lsmod |grep demo"
adb shell su -c rmmod /data/local/tmp/demo.ko
