Hook function calls by inserting jump instructions at runtime

Funchook - an API hook library

tests

This library depends on one of the following disassemblers.

On x86_64 and x86

  • diStorm3 (default)
  • zydis (when -DFUNCHOOK_DISASM=zydis is passed to the cmake command)
  • capstone (when -DFUNCHOOK_DISASM=capstone is passed to the cmake command)

On arm64

TODO

  • write documents.

1.1.0 (2020-03-22)

  • Arm64 Linux support. capstone is used as the disassembler library on arm64.
  • Options to use zydis and capstone as a disassembler library on x86_64 and x86.
  • extern "C" was added in funchook.h for C++. (#15)
  • Libc-compatible functions were removed to simplify code.

1.0.0 (2020-01-19)

  • diStorm3 is used as the disassembler library.
  • Libc-compatible functions were implemented on Linux in order not to hook function calls issued by funchook itself.

Supported Platforms

  • Linux x86_64
  • Linux x86
  • Linux arm64 (since 1.1.0)
  • macOS x86_64 (Functions in executables cannot be hooked when Xcode version >= 11.0. (*1))
  • Windows x64 (except C-runtime functions under Wine)
  • Windows 32-bit

*1 mprotect fails with EACCES.

Tested Platforms

Tested on some versions. Not tested in CI.

  • Windows arm64 (version 1.1.2)

Unsupported Platforms

  • macOS arm64 (*1)
  • x64/x86 emulation for Windows arm64

*1 I received a mail that mprotect failed with EINVAL. This issue may be same with #51 and fixed by this commit.

Compilation and installation

Unix

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/kubo/funchook.git
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/directory ../funchook
$ make
$ make install
  • Available CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE values are empty(default), Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo(release build with debug information) and MinSizeRel.

  • When CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX isn't set, funchook is installed at /usr/local.

    installed files:

    • ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include/funchook.h (header file)
    • ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/libfunchook.so (symbolic link to libfunchook.so.1)
    • ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/libfunchook.so.1 (soname; symbolic link to libfunchook.so.1.1.0)
    • ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/libfunchook.so.1.1.0 (shared library)
    • ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/libfunchook.a (static library)

Windows

Here is an example to compile funchook with Visual Studio 2017 Win64. Change the argument of -G to use other compilers.

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/kubo/funchook.git
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\path\to\install\directory ..\funchook
$ cmake --build . --config Release --target INSTALL
  • Available -G arguments (generators) are listed in the output of cmake --help.

  • Available --config arguments are Debug(default), Release, RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel.

  • When CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX isn't set, funchook is installed at c:\Program Files\funchook.

    installed files:

    • ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}\include\funchook.h (header file)
    • ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}\bin\funchook.dll (shared library)
    • ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}\bin\funchook.pdb (debug file for funchook.dll when --config is Debug or RelWithDebInfo)
    • ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}\lib\funchook.lib (static library)
    • ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}\lib\funchook_dll.lib (import library for funchook.dll)

Example

static ssize_t (*send_func)(int sockfd, const void *buf, size_t len, int flags);
static ssize_t (*recv_func)(int sockfd, void *buf, size_t len, int flags);

static ssize_t send_hook(int sockfd, const void *buf, size_t len, int flags)
{
    ssize_t rv;

    ... do your task: logging, etc. ...
    rv = send_func(sockfd, buf, len, flags); /* call the original send(). */
    ... do your task: logging, checking the return value, etc. ...
    return rv;
}

static ssize_t recv_hook(int sockfd, void *buf, size_t len, int flags)
{
    ssize_t rv;

    ... do your task: logging, etc. ...
    rv = recv_func(sockfd, buf, len, flags); /* call the original recv(). */
    ... do your task: logging, checking received data, etc. ...
    return rv;
}

int install_hooks()
{
    funchook_t *funchook = funchook_create();
    int rv;

    /* Prepare hooking.
     * The return value is used to call the original send function
     * in send_hook.
     */
    send_func = send;
    rv = funchook_prepare(funchook, (void**)&send_func, send_hook);
    if (rv != 0) {
       /* error */
       ...
    }

    /* ditto */
    recv_func = recv;
    rv = funchook_prepare(funchook, (void**)&recv_func, recv_hook);
    if (rv != 0) {
       /* error */
       ...
    }

    /* Install hooks.
     * The first 5-byte code of send() and recv() are changed respectively.
     */
    rv = funchook_install(funchook, 0);
    if (rv != 0) {
       /* error */
       ...
    }
}

Example - Using Python ctypes

# should work on python 2.7/3 windows/linux

# load funchook
import ctypes
fh_lib = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('/path/to/funchook/dll/or/so')

# define signatures
funchook_create = fh_lib.funchook_create
funchook_create.restype = ctypes.c_void_p
funchook_create.argtypes = []

funchook_prepare = fh_lib.funchook_prepare
funchook_prepare.restype = ctypes.c_ssize_t
funchook_prepare.argtypes = [ctypes.c_void_p, ctypes.c_void_p, ctypes.c_void_p]

funchook_install = fh_lib.funchook_install
funchook_install.restype = ctypes.c_ssize_t
funchook_install.argtypes = [ctypes.c_void_p, ctypes.c_int]

PySys_WriteStdout = ctypes.pythonapi.PySys_WriteStdout
PySys_WriteStdout.restype = None
PySys_WriteStdout.argtypes=[ctypes.c_char_p]

# must keep those references alive, or stuff will be GC'd and weird errors will occur
global orig_write, hook, orig_write_ptr

# create hook (this function will replace the original function)
hook_type = ctypes.PYFUNCTYPE(None, ctypes.c_char_p)
orig_write = None
def hook_impl(msg):
    print('about to write: ' + str(msg)) # do what we want
    orig_write(msg)                      # call the original function

hook = hook_type(hook_impl)

fh = funchook_create()
# create a pointer object with the function address
orig_write_ptr = ctypes.c_void_p(ctypes.c_void_p.from_address(ctypes.addressof(PySys_WriteStdout)).value)
# orig_write_ptr.value will get a ptr to the original PySys_WriteStdout and PySys_WriteStdout will now point to the hook
ret = funchook_prepare(fh, ctypes.addressof(orig_write_ptr), hook)
assert not ret, 'ret is ' + str(ret)
ret = funchook_install(fh, 0)
assert not ret, 'ret is ' + str(ret)
orig_write = hook_type.from_address(ctypes.addressof(orig_write_ptr))
PySys_WriteStdout(b'hi there\n')
