Linux BootKit

Primary LanguageAssembly

My Linux BootKit

1. Environment

GRUB 0.97 + linux 2.6.18 i386

2. MBR

  1. Load Bootkit from disk to memory 0x80000
  2. Jmp bootkit entry pointer (0x80000)

3. Bootkit

  1. Restore old MBR to 0x7c00
  2. Hook INT 13h
  3. jmp old MBR

3.1. INT 13h Handler

  1. Search big_linux_boot code from GRUB stage2 memory

     CODE: C1 EB 04 89 D8 83 C0 20
 c33: c1 eb 04           shrl	$4, %ebx     /* CS */
 c36: 89 d8              movl	%ebx, %eax
 c38: 83 c0 20           addl	$0x20, %eax  /* IP*/

  2. hook big_linux_boot function

3.2. big_linux_boot Handler

  1. Linux setup code loaded into 0x9000 and system code loaded into 0x100000 now.

  2. Hook linux relocated entry pointer

     %000000000010007c ff e0                   jmp eax

3.3. Linux Relocated Handler

  1. System run decompress kernel and jmp decompressed startup_32

  2. We must search decompressed startup_32 address

     0010:007a76e8 31 db                   xor ebx, ebx
 0010:007a76ea ff e5                   jmp ebp

  3. real startup_32 address in ebp, got it, and hook it

3.4. Decompressed Startup_32 Handler

  1. linux image decompressed now.

  2. We can controller all kernel memory, Juse for funy!!!

  3. For example, hook run_init_process

     CODE：55 BD 0B 00 00 00 57 89 C7 56
 %00000000c04011f0 55                      push ebp
 %00000000c04011f1 bd 0b 00 00 00          mov ebp, 00000000bh
 %00000000c04011f6 57                      push edi
 %00000000c04011f7 89 c7                   mov edi, eax
 %00000000c04011f9 56                      push esi
