leechcore_device_hvsavedstate

Authors:

Supported Platforms:

  • Windows

Overview:

The leechcore_device_hvsavedstate library allows applications access to a access the memory of Hyper-V saved state files (.vmrs). The library depends on the vmsavedstatedumpprovider.dll library from Microsoft. It must be placed in the same folder as the LeechCore. The library exists in the most recent Windows SDK and is usually found in the location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17763.0\x64\vmsavedstatedumpprovider.dll.

Installation instructions:

Place leechcore_device_hvsavedstate.dll and vmsavedstatedumpprovider.dll alongside leechcore.dll.

Authors:

Supported Platforms:

  • Linux

Overview:

Parameters:

  • shm: filename of shared memory file in /dev/shm/xxxx (if shared memory acquisition method is used).
  • hugepage-pid=: libvirt / QEMU process to target (if hugepage acquisition method is used).
  • qmp: path to optional qmp socket (used to query vm memory ranges, optional).

QEMU Virtual machine setup

Also see the more extensive QEMU documentation in the LeechCore Wiki.

To enable the memory backend on our virtual machine, we need to add the memory-backend-object to our command line.

  1. Add the memory-backend-object to the command line
 memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=512M,mem-path=/dev/shm/qemu-ram,share=on
  1. Launch the virtual machine
 qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel vmlinuz.x86_64 -m 512  -drive format=raw,file=debian.img,if=virtio,aio=native,cache.direct=on, \
                    -enable-kvm -append "root=/dev/mapper/cl-root console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200 nokaslr"   \ 
                    -initrd initramfs.x86_64.img \
                    -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=512M,mem-path=/dev/shm/qemu-ram,share=on \
                    -qmp unix:/tmp/qmp.sock,server,nowait
PCILeech
./pcileech -device 'qemu://shm=qemu-ram' write -min 0x12345678 -in 0xdeadcafe
Memprocfs
sudo -E ./memprocfs -mount xxx -device 'qemu://shm=qemu-ram,qmp=/tmp/qmp.sock'

leechcore_device_qemupcileech

Authors

  • Zero Tang - tangptr.com

Supported Platforms

  • Windows, Linux

Overview

Allows LeechCore to connect to a "raw tcp" server hosted by QEMU to perform DMA attacks against the guest inside QEMU. The main purpose of this plugin is to allow security researchers to easily perform DMA attacks and test their IOMMU defenses.

Installation Instructions

Place leechcore_device_qemupcileech.[so|dll] alongside leechcore.[so|dll].

QEMU Guide

A patch is submitted to QEMU but it hasn't been merged into the official repository yet. An unofficial QEMU fork is available on GitHub with compilation guide for Ubuntu and Windows.

Launch the VM with virtual PCILeech device and chardev backend (Note that, this plugin currently only supports raw TCP, albeit QEMU chardev supports multiple backends):

qemu-system-x86_64 -device pcileech,chardev=pcileech -chardev socket,id=pcileech,wait=off,server=on,host=0.0.0.0,port=6789

You may append more arguments to fit your VM settings.

Invoke PCILeech:

pcileech -device qemupcileech://127.0.0.1:6789 display -min 0x3800000

Replace the IP address and port.

leechcore_device_rawtcp

Authors:

Supported Platforms:

  • Windows, Linux

Overview:

Allows LeechCore to connect to a "raw tcp" server which may be used to perform DMA attacks against a compromised iLO interface as described in the blog entry by Synacktiv amongst other things.

Installation instructions:

Place leechcore_device_rawtcp.[so|dll] alongside leechcore.[so|dll].

leechcore_device_skeleton

Author:

  • Rick Wertenbroek

Supported Platfoms:

  • All

Overview:

The leechcore_device_skeleton library is a simple skeleton plugin that only displays the memory read and write requests without doing anything. It is meant to be used as a skeleton to write further plugins.

Plugin documentation:

This plugin only have two parameters dev and the optional size parameter. The dev parameter is required but does nothing, it is meant to demonstrate parameter parsing and checking. The optional size parameter defines the memory region size, by default 4 GB, this parameter is meant to limit the memory range for testing and to demonstrate size_t type paramter parsing.

Example commands :

  • ./pcileech dump -min 0x0 -max 0x10000 -device 'skeleton://dev=/dev/dummy'
  • ./pcileech dump -min 0x0 -max 0x10000 -device 'skeleton://dev=/dev/dummy,size=35536'

leechcore_ft601_driver_linux

Authors:

  • Ulf Frisk
  • Jérémie Boutoille from Synacktiv - www.synacktiv.com
  • Based on PCIeScreamer kernel driver from LambdaConcept.

Supported Platforms:

  • Linux

Overview:

The leechcore_ft601_driver_linux library allows applications access to a limited version of API calls the FT601 FTD3XX.dll Windows library from ftdichip provided. This allows applications to use a limited FTD3XX.dll compatible application library on Linux. This library does not require LeechCore to function and may be used in other applications as well.

The library requires libusb (apt-get install libusb-1.0-0) and access to the usb device (permission change or run as root may be required) alternatively a Kernel Driver provided by LambdaConcept. LeechCore will automatically attempt to locate the kernel driver before using libusb as fallback.

Installation instructions:

Place leechcore_ft601_driver_linux.so alongside leechcore.so.

leechdma_driver_linux

Authors:

  • Ulf Frisk

Supported Platforms:

  • Linux

License:

  • GPLv2

Overview:

The LeechDMA linux kernel driver allows the user to compile a kernel module (.ko) which may be inserted into the kernel. When a LeechDMA device (ZDMA or similar) is connected a device will show up as /dev/leechdma* where * is a number. User mode programs can then communicate with the LeechDMA linux kernel driver and its connected device.
