Hook Example JavaScript

var GetModuleFileName = new ApiHook();
/*
DWORD WINAPI GetModuleFileName(
  _In_opt_ HMODULE hModule,
  _Out_    LPTSTR  lpFilename,
  _In_     DWORD   nSize
);
*/
GetModuleFileName.OnCallBack = function (Emu, API, ret) {

	Emu.pop(); // ret
	
	var hModule    = Emu.isx64 ? Emu.ReadReg(REG_RCX) : Emu.pop();
	var lpFilename = Emu.isx64 ? Emu.ReadReg(REG_RDX) : Emu.pop();
	var nSize	   = Emu.isx64 ? Emu.ReadReg(REG_R8D) : Emu.pop();

	var mName = Emu.GetModuleName(hModule);
	var Path = 'C:\\pla\\' + mName;

	var len = API.IsWapi ? Emu.WriteStringW(lpFilename,Path) : Emu.WriteStringA(lpFilename,Path);

	// null byte - mybe needed maybe not :D - i put it anyway :V 
	API.IsWapi ? Emu.WriteWord(lpFilename + (len * 2),0) : Emu.WriteByte(lpFilename+len,0);

	print("{0}(0x{1}, 0x{2}, 0x{3}) = '{4}'".format(
		API.name,
		hModule.toString(16),
		lpFilename.toString(16),
		nSize.toString(16),
		Path
	));

	// MS Docs : the return value is the length of the string
	Emu.SetReg(Emu.isx64 ? REG_RAX : REG_EAX, len);	
	Emu.SetReg(Emu.isx64 ? REG_RIP : REG_EIP, ret);
	return true; // true if you handle it false if you want Emu to handle it and set PC .
};

GetModuleFileName.install('kernel32.dll', 'GetModuleFileNameA');
GetModuleFileName.install('kernel32.dll', 'GetModuleFileNameW');

var _vsnprintf = new ApiHook();
/*
int _vsnprintf(  
   char *buffer,  
   size_t count,  
   const char *format,  
   va_list argptr   
);
*/
_vsnprintf.OnCallBack = function (Emu, API, ret) {

	// save the param to args
	// args is an Array and it's implemented in every ApiHook .
	_vsnprintf.args[0] = Emu.isx64 ? Emu.ReadReg(REG_RCX) : Emu.ReadDword(Emu.ReadReg(REG_ESP) + 4);

	// i think implementing this in JS is hard 
	// so just let the library handle it :D 
	return true; // True so we continue to the lib code .
};

// OnExit Callback ..
_vsnprintf.OnExit = function(Emu,API){
	
	// Read Our Saved Param .
	var buffer = _vsnprintf.args[0];

	warn("OnExit : _vsnprintf() = '{0}' ".format(
		Emu.ReadStringA(buffer)
	));
}

_vsnprintf.install('msvcrt.dll', '_vsnprintf');

Installation

Install Lazarus IDE
You will find all needed libraries in "libraries" Folder ;)
Now Build

Build

1. Build Cmulator

git clone https://github.com/Coldzer0/Cmulator.git

Open "Cmulator.lpi" with Lazarus IDE 

Then Hit Compile :D
Oh Before that you need to select the Build Mode

From Laz IDE Select 

Projects -> Project Options -> Compiler Options 

and Select the Mode for your OS .

Or Just Download From Releases

2. Create config.json config file

touch config.json

3. Set Win dlls Path

set the dll folders to where you stored your windows dlls and JS Main File .

{
  "system": {
    "win32": "../win_dlls/x32_win7",
    "win64": "../win_dlls/x64_win7",
    "Apiset": "../Apiset.json"
  },
  "JS": {
  	"main": "../API.JS"
  }
}

Run

./Cmulator -file samples/AntiDebug.exe

Documentation

Still working on it , will be available soon.
