# A simple memory patching hook
|
|
|
|
This is a hook which can be passed along with other hooks to be injected into
|
|
the target application of your choice (e.g. when using inject or launcher). It
|
|
allows you to patch raw memory contents of either the target application or
|
|
any libraries loaded with it. No static hex-edits anymore. Instead, create a
|
|
simple script file and also document your patches for others which allows them
|
|
to easily disable/enable them.
|
|
|
|
# Setup
|
|
|
|
Copy the *mempatch-hook.dll* to the target application of your choice and add
|
|
it to the list of libraries to inject:
|
|
|
|
Example when using *inject.exe*:
|
|
```
|
|
inject iidxhook3.dll mempatch-hook.dll bm2dx.exe --config iidxhook-16.conf --mempatch myPatch.mph %*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When using *launcher.exe*:
|
|
```
|
|
launcher -K iidxhook4.dll -K mempatch-hook.dll bm2dx.dll --config iidxhook.conf --mempatch myPatch.mph %*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To load a patch script, add the *--mempatch <path to patch script>* argument (as
|
|
shown above in the example). You can specify this more than once which allows
|
|
you to apply multiple scripts in order, e.g.
|
|
*--mempatch myPatch1.mph --mempatch myPatch1.mph*.
|
|
|
|
# Patch script format
|
|
|
|
A patch script is a simple list of items seperated by a newline character
|
|
(i.e. one item = one line). Example script file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# This is a comment
|
|
# Use comments to document your patches and make the script useful for others
|
|
|
|
# Empty lines are allowed as well and skipped by the patcher
|
|
|
|
# All numbers specified are hex format only.
|
|
|
|
# First entry which gets processed by the patcher. One entry specifies a single
|
|
# patch to apply starting a the specified address
|
|
# The first parameter (bm2dx.exe) is the base address. Specify the exe name
|
|
# of the application for relative addreses to patch inside the exe. You can
|
|
# also specify dlls loaded by the target application (e.g. libacio.dll)
|
|
#
|
|
# The second parameter (137C4C) is the offset. The target address for this patch
|
|
# is bm2dx.exe + 137C4C (bm2dx.exe commonly resolves to 400000) -> 5137C4C
|
|
#
|
|
# The third parameter is the data to patch at the target location. This byte hex
|
|
# string can have an arbitrary even length.
|
|
#
|
|
# The fourth parameter is optional and allows you to specify the expected data
|
|
# at the target loation before patching. This gives you the chance to add some
|
|
# sort of checksum'ing for the patches if you want.
|
|
bm2dx.exe 137C4C 2121212121 4540
|
|
|
|
# The first parameter can also be - which resolves to a base memory address of
|
|
# 0 for the loaded application.
|
|
# So the target address here is 0 + 537C4C = 537C4C
|
|
#
|
|
# The fourth parameter isn't used here (optional)
|
|
- 537C4C 2222212122
|
|
|
|
# You can also set the third parameter to '-' which means no data and disables
|
|
# the patching. This allows you to use the fourth parameter and execute a
|
|
# memory check, only. This can be used for signiture checking of the target
|
|
# application
|
|
bm2dx.exe 137C4C - 4540
