Because WinDbg is: used by the Microsoft Windows product team to develop Windows much more powerful than the well-known Visual Studio debugger extensible through extension DLLs its debug engine is part of the Windows OS Up from Windows XP dgbeng.dll and dbghelp.dll are installed in “C:\Windows\System32”. 2 www.windbg.info WhyWhy ““WinDbgWinDbg .. FromFrom AA toto ZZ ”” ?? WinDbg's documentation is sub-optimal for people new to the topic Without good documentation and examples the learning curve for WinDbg is very steep In fact many people give up soon after the installation. “WinDbg. From A to Z!” is a quick start and introduction to WinDbg . After reading it you will have a good feeling about what WinDbg is and what it can do for you. While many parts of “WinDbg. From A to Z!” are based on user-mode examples, you will benefit from it even if you are doing kernel-mode development. Note that the same debugging engine is running behind the scenes, no matter if you debug user-mode or kernel-mode code. Essentially the only visible difference for kernel-mode debugging is that you will end up using another set of extension commands. 3 www.windbg.info TableTable ofof ContentsContents -- RoadmapRoadmap Behind the Scenes • Using WinDbg • Global Flags • Application Verifier • Process Dumps 4 www.windbg.info DebuggingDebugging ToolsTools forfor WindowsWindows XPXP • WinDbg.exe • ntsd.exe • cdb.exe • kd.exe dbgeng.dll • dbgsrv.exe • userdump.exe • drwtsn32.exe • livekd.exe • OlyDbg.exe dbghelp.dll • ProcessExplorer.exe • ..

Most of content has been written at home in my spare time with a real slow internet connection. Due to its very nature of publicly available symbols, .Net and its debugging information is publicly available on the internet. Hence this content can be freely redistributed for non-commercial use. A lot of acknowledgements to Ranjan Bhattacharjee for this idea, to Xavier S Raj for valuable mentorship and for the logo, and to Rishi Maini for his guidance whenever required. We’ve also discussed this with multiple resources and got ideas from them. They’ve made a difference - Kane Conway, Satya Madhuri Krovvidi, Dhiraj H N, Durai Murugan, Varun Dhawan, Balmukund Lakhani, Anmol Bhasin, Tejas Shah, Ajith Krishnan, Shasank Prasad, Chandresh Hegde.

  • Attacking the Windows Kernel
    Attacking the Windows Kernel Jonathan Lindsay ([email protected]) An NGSSoftware Insight Security Research (NISR) Publication ©2007 Next Generation Security Software Ltd http://www.ngssoftware.com Abstract Most modern processors provide a supervisor mode that is intended to run privileged operating system services that provide resource management transparently or otherwise to non-privileged code. Although a lot of research has been conducted into exploiting bugs in user mode code for privilege escalation within the operating system defined boundaries as well as what can be done if one has arbitrary supervisor access (typically related to modern root kit work), not a great deal of research has been done on the interface between supervisor and non-supervisor, and potential routes from one to the other. The biggest problem arises when trying to protect the kernel from itself - for example, under the IA32 architecture implementation of Windows, the distinction between user mode and kernel mode from the user mode perspective is easily enforced through hardware based protection. However, as the kernel is running as supervisor, how does the kernel make distinctions between what it should be accessing? This would be irrelevant if the supervisor was not exposed to interaction with supervisee; but that would defeat the purpose of having a kernel. This paper is focused on Windows and the Intel Architecture, and will briefly outline the current supervisor boundaries provided. Different attack vectors, along with relevant examples, will be provided to demonstrate how to attack the supervisor from the perspective of the supervised, as well as an outline of what possible architectures could be used to mitigate such attacks, such as the research operating system Singularity.
