LeachAgent: related tool for PCILeech

~ hucktech ~ Leave a comment

The LeechAgent is a 100% free open source endpoint solution geared towards remote physical memory acquisition and analysis on Windows endpoints in Active Directory environments. The LeechAgent provides an easy, but yet high performant and secure, way of accessing and querying the physical memory (RAM) of a remote system. Mount the remote memory with MemProcFS as an easy point-and-click file system – perfect for quick and easy triage. Dump the memory over the network with PCILeech. Query the physical memory using the MemProcFS Python API by submitting analysis scripts to the remote host! Do all of the above simultaneously.[…]

Practical DMA attack on Windows 10

Practical DMA attack on Windows 10
Written by Jean-Christophe Delaunay · 2018-05-30 · in Pentest

Among the various security assessments performed by Synacktiv, some involve attacking the security hardening of a laptop or workstation master image that will be massively deployed in an infrastructure. The purpose of this kind of security assessment is to give the client an overview of its level of maturity regarding security concerns and provide him with some recommendations in order to increase his level of security. This post describes how Synacktiv defeated a workstation security measures by using a hardware approach.[…]

pcie_injector – PCIe Injector Gateway – based on Xilinx Artix7 FPGA and FTDI USB FT601 chip

PCIe Injector Gateware

The PCIe bus is now the main high speed communication bus between a processor and its peripherials. It is used in all PC (sometime encapsulated in Thunderbolt) and now even in mobile phones. Doing security research on PCIe systems can requires very expensive tools (>$50k) and packet generaration for such tools is not a common feature. PCIe Injector provides a such tool at a more reasonable price. Currently, only few attacks were made on PCIe devices. Most of them were done using a Microblaze inside a Xilinx FPGA to send/receive the TLPs, making it hard to really analyze. (Using embedded C software to generate/analyze traffic) An other way is to use USB3380 chip, but it is also not flexible enough (only supporting 32bits addressing) and does not allow debugging the PCIe state machine.

The PCIe injector is based on a Artix7 FPGA from Xilinx connected to a DDR3 and a high speed USB 3.0 FT601 chip from FTDI. It allows:
* Having a full control of the PCIe core.
* Sending/Receiving TLPs through USB 3.0 (or bufferize it to/from DDR3)
* Using flexible software/tools on the Host for receiving/generating/analyzing the TLPs. (Wireshark dissectors, scapy, …)

PCILeech: updated with new FPGA bitstream design

~ hucktech ~ Leave a comment

PCILeech FPGA contains software and HDL code for FPGA based devices that may be used together with the PCILeech Direct Memory Access (DMA) Attack Toolkit. Using FPGA based devices have many advantages over using the USB3380 hardware that have traditionally been supported by PCILeech. FPGA based hardware provides full access to 64-bit memory space without having to rely on a kernel module running on the target system. FPGA based devices are also more stable compared to the USB3380. FPGA based devices may also send raw PCIe Transaction Layer Packets TLPs – allowing for more specialized research.

PCI Express DIY hacking toolkit

~ hucktech ~ Leave a comment

This repository contains a set of tools and proof of concepts related to PCI-E bus and DMA attacks. It includes HDL design which implements software controllable PCI-E gen 1.1 endpoint device for Xilinx SP605 Evaluation Kit with Spartan-6 FPGA. In comparison with popular USB3380EVB this design allows to operate with raw Transaction Level Packets (TLP) of PCI-E bus and perform full 64-bit memory read/write operations. It’s early version of my first much or less complicated FPGA project, so the speed is quite slow (around 1-2 Mb/s), but in upcoming releases it will be significantly increased by connecting PCI-E endpoint to MicroBlaze soft processor with AXI DMA engine. However, even such low speed is more than enough for reliable implementation of various practical attacks over PCI-E bus: to demonstrate applied use cases of the design, there’s a tool for pre-boot DMA attacks on UEFI based machines which allow executing arbitrary UEFI DXE drivers during platform init. Another example shows how to use pre-boot DMA attacks to inject Hyper-V VM exit handler backdoor into the virtualization-based security enabled Windows 10 Enterprise running on UEFI Secure Boot enabled platform. Provided Hyper-V backdoor PoC might be useful for reverse engineering and exploit development purposes, it provides an interface for inspecting of hypervisor state (VMCS, physical/virtual memory, registers, etc.) from guest partition and perform the guest to host VM escape attacks.
