HookEngine

Info

Dependencies:
- None
Implementation:
HookEngine.d on GitHub

This package allows you to hook anywhere in an engine function to run your own Daedalus code.

Tip

Zerxes has provided a list of all engine functions for G2, including the number of bytes to fill in for oldInstr. This list can be found here. This should make it possible for everyone to use the HookEngine effectively without IDA.

Functions

HookEngine

HookEngine

IsHooked

IsHooked

Checks if a hook is already present at a given address.

func var int IsHooked(var int address)
Parameters
  • var int address
    Address of an engine function.

Return value

The function returns TRUE if the hook already exists at the address, FALSE is returned otherwise.

IsHook

IsHook

Checks if a hook with a certain function is already present at an address.

func var int IsHook(var int address, var string function)
Parameters
  • var int address
    Address of an engine function.

    Name of a function.

Return value

The function returns TRUE if the hook already exists at the address, FALSE is returned otherwise.

IsHookI

IsHookI

Alias to IsHook with a funcID as parameter.

func var int IsHookI(var int address, var int funcID)
Parameters
  • var int address
    Address of an engine function.
  • var int funcID
    ID of a function.

Return value

The function returns TRUE if the hook already exists at the address, FALSE is returned otherwise.

IsHookF

IsHookF

Alias to IsHook with a function as parameter.

func var int IsHookF(var int address, var func function)
Parameters
  • var int address

  • var string function
    Name of Daedalus function that should no longer be called.

RemoveHookI

RemoveHookI

Alias to RemoveHook with funcID.

func void RemoveHook(var int address, var int oldInstr, var int funcID)
Parameters
  • var int address
    Address of an engine function to which the function should be attached.
  • var int oldInstr
    The length in bytes of the instruction to be found at address, at least 5 bytes. Can be seen in IDA.
  • var int funcID
    ID of Daedalus function that should no longer be called.

RemoveHookF

RemoveHookF

Alias for RemoveHook with func parameter.

func void RemoveHook(var int address, var int oldInstr, var func function)
Parameters
  • var int address
    Address of an engine function to which the function should be attached.
  • var int oldInstr
    The length in bytes of the instruction to be found at address, at least 5 bytes. Can be seen in IDA.
  • var func function
    Daedalus function that should no longer be called.

ReplaceEngineFunc

ReplaceEngineFunc

Replaces an engine function with a Daedalus function.

func void ReplaceEngineFunc(var int address, var int thiscall_numparams, var string replaceFunc)
Parameters
  • var int address
    Address of the engine function to be replaced.
  • var int thiscall_numparams
    Number of parameters passed to the engine function, if it is a stdcall or thiscall (otherwise 0).
  • var string replaceFunc
    Name of a Daedalus function to be called instead.

ReplaceEngineFuncI

ReplaceEngineFuncI

Alias to ReplaceEngineFunc with funcID.

func void ReplaceEngineFunc(var int address, var int thiscall_numparams, var int funcID)
Parameters
  • var int address
    Address of the engine function to be replaced.
  • var int thiscall_numparams
    Number of parameters passed to the engine function, if it is a stdcall or thiscall (otherwise 0).

Parameters
  • var int address
    Address of the engine function to be skipped.
  • var int thiscall_numparams

Hook_ReturnTrue

Hook_ReturnTrue

Simple function to replace return TRUE in hook.

func void Hook_ReturnTrue()

Registers

In addition the HookEngine package implement x86 32-bit registers that can be used to access hooked function parameters.
