Contents  What is EXE Packing?  Purpose of Packing EXE  What is Unpacking?  Detection of Packer  Execution of Packed EXE Program  Standard Process of Unpacking EXE  Unpacking UPX using OllyDbg  DEMO - Unpacking UPX  Anti Anti-Debugging Plugins  References www.SecurityXploded.com
What is EXE Packing/Protecting?  EXE Packing: Compressing the Executable to a smaller Size  EXE Protecting: Encrypting with Anti-Debugging Techniques to prevent Reversing  In Reversing world, both Packer & Protector is commonly referred as Packer. Examples of Packers: UPX, AsProtect, Armadillo etc. www.SecurityXploded.com
EXE - Before Packing www.SecurityXploded.com
EXE - After Packing www.SecurityXploded.com
Purpose of Packing EXE  Prevent Reverse Engineering [Crack License, Secret Code etc.] • Defeat Static Disassembling • Make Dynamic Debugging Difficult  Reduce the size of Executable file  Bypass Anti-virus Detections with multi-level Packing  It is used by Software Vendors to prevent Serial Cracking and Malware Authors to prevent analysis by AV Researchers. www.SecurityXploded.com
What is Unpacking?  Extracting the Original Binary from the Packed Executable File.  Automatic Unpackers available for popular Packers. • May not work with different versions • Not available for Complex packers  Involves Live Debugging by Defeating Anti-Debugging techniques www.SecurityXploded.com
Detection of Packer  Packer Detectors like PEiD, RDG, ExeScan etc • Detect the popular Packers • Show the version of Packer also  PE Viewer Tools like PEditor, PEview • Look at Section Table • Look at Import Table www.SecurityXploded.com
Packer Detectors www.SecurityXploded.com
Structure of Packed EXE www.SecurityXploded.com Before Packing After Packing
Execution of Packed EXE Program  Execution starts from new OEP  Saves the Registerstatus using PUSHAD instruction  All the Packed Sections are Unpackedin memory  Resolvethe importtable of originalexecutablefile.  Restorethe originalRegisterStatus using POPAD instruction  Finally Jumps to Original Entry point to begin the actual execution www.SecurityXploded.com
Standard Process of Unpacking EXE  Debug the EXE to find the real OEP (Original Entry Point)  At OEP, Dump the fully Unpacked Program to Disk  [?] Fix the Import Table using ImpRec Tool  [?] Fix the PE Header www.SecurityXploded.com
Unpacking UPX using OllyDbg  Load the UPX packed EXE file into the OllyDbg  Start tracing the EXE, until you encountera PUSHAD instruction.  At this stage, put the HardwareBreakpoint (type'hr esp-4' at commandbar) so as to stopat POPAD instruction.  Otherway is to manually searchforPOPAD (Opcode 61) instructionand then set Breakpointon it. www.SecurityXploded.com
Unpacking UPX using OllyDbg (contd)  Next press F9 to continue the Execution.  You will break on the instruction which is immediately after POPAD or on POPAD instruction [based on the method you have chosen]  Now start tracing with F7 and soon you will encounter a JMP instruction which will Jump to OEP in the original program.  At OEP, dump the whole program using OllyDmp plugin. www.SecurityXploded.com
DEMO - Unpacking UPX www.SecurityXploded.com http://vimeo.com/42197903
Anti Anti-Debugging Plugins Here are useful OllyDbg Plugins for Anti Anti-Debugging  Olly Advanced  Hide Debugger  NtGlobalFlag  Anti Anti BPM www.SecurityXploded.com
Useful Tips  Always use simple EXE for Unpacking exercises  Use same EXE for all – You will know the OEP & other magic numbers  Use Windows XP for better (less annoying) debugging experience.  Have Patience, Its an Art and takes time.  For best results, do it in the Moon Light  www.SecurityXploded.com
What's Next?  Try Unpacking AsPack, AsProtect, PESpin, YodaP etc  Try Unpacking Packed DLL (Google - Neolite DLL Unpacking)  Try Advanced Packers: Armadillo  www.SecurityXploded.com

  • 22. Useful Tips  Always use simple EXE for Unpacking exercises  Use same EXE for all – You will know the OEP & other magic numbers  Use Windows XP for better (less annoying) debugging experience.  Have Patience, Its an Art and takes time.  For best results, do it in the Moon Light  www.SecurityXploded.com
