First relocation in duser.dll works, but now asks me always for password, I hit just enter and then I come to normal desktop. May be, I put this duser.dll on fresh installed XP before last reboot, or any other idea? Dietmar

Just now I make a try to have a duser.dll without any cmpxchg8b. Dietmar

Is there a tool, with which I can scan my whole XP SP3 installation for the opcode of "cmpxchg8b qword [ebp+0]" is "0F C7 4D 00" Dietmar Edit: I copy my whole MiniXP SP1 from 2007 on a complete with 00 everywhere filled USB stick. Then I search the whole disk via this opcode with Winhex. It is found 12 +1 times, which means, that on the basic bootfiles, only in ntoskrnl.exe and ntdll.dll cmpxchg8b qword [ebp+0] this code exists Dietmar EDIT: May be one time also in another file (+1), which I do not recognice until now. Code 0F C7 4D 00 is in ntldr, but there not in a function, but in a data field? 0002D5F9 0F C7 4D 00 EDIT2: I use Notepad++ and search for ÇM . This gives the following list ntdll.dll 5x ntoskrnl.exe 7x (same for ntkrnlpa.exe but not used here for 1 cpu without any acpi). duser.dll 2x dpvoice.dll 2x dpnsvr.exe 1x dpnet.dll 5x I think, it is a not so difficult task Dietmar

@pappyN4 All calls to such a relocated function use the new address, where I put it to. This has the big advantage, that no extra jump at all has to be done, keeps everything close as much as possible to the original. Because I noticed, that XP wants to interpret 00 00 as opcode, now I always use 90 90 90.. Dietmar

@pappyN4 Just now dirty ntoskrnl.exe with all functions in .DATA. But here is last relocated function, works. Now we have also NTDLL.DLL without any cmpxchg8b. EDIT: But bad build ntoskrnl.exe works together with nice build NTDLL.DLL. I just play Moorhuhn on that PC Dietmar NTDLL.DLL de for 486 cpu https://ufile.io/72suq7t6 53 55 8B E9 8B 1A 8B 4A 04 8B 54 24 0C 8B 02 8B 52 04 F0 0F B1 5D 00 75 F0 50 8B C2 F0 0F B1 4D 04 58 75 F5 5D 5B C2 04 00 .text:7C9C613C .text:7C9C613C ; =============== S U B R O U T I N E ======================================= .text:7C9C613C .text:7C9C613C .text:7C9C613C sub_7C9C613C proc near ; CODE XREF: sub_7C946DA9+105p .text:7C9C613C ; sub_7C94790B-6DDp ... .text:7C9C613C .text:7C9C613C arg_0 = dword ptr 4 .text:7C9C613C .text:7C9C613C push ebx .text:7C9C613D push ebp .text:7C9C613E mov ebp, ecx .text:7C9C6140 mov ebx, [edx] .text:7C9C6142 mov ecx, [edx+4] .text:7C9C6145 .text:7C9C6145 loc_7C9C6145: ; CODE XREF: sub_7C9C613C+17j .text:7C9C6145 mov edx, [esp+8+arg_0] .text:7C9C6149 mov eax, [edx] .text:7C9C614B mov edx, [edx+4] .text:7C9C614E lock cmpxchg [ebp+0], ebx .text:7C9C6153 jnz short loc_7C9C6145 .text:7C9C6155 .text:7C9C6155 loc_7C9C6155: ; CODE XREF: sub_7C9C613C+22j .text:7C9C6155 push eax .text:7C9C6156 mov eax, edx .text:7C9C6158 lock cmpxchg [ebp+4], ecx .text:7C9C615D pop eax .text:7C9C615E jnz short loc_7C9C6155 .text:7C9C6160 pop ebp .text:7C9C6161 pop ebx .text:7C9C6162 nop .text:7C9C6163 nop .text:7C9C6164 nop .text:7C9C6165 nop .text:7C9C6166 nop .text:7C9C6167 nop .text:7C9C6168 nop .text:7C9C6169 retn 4 .text:7C9C6169 sub_7C9C613C endp .text:7C9C6169 .text:7C9C6169 ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

@pappyN4 Here a value 8 is returned, so C2 08 00 Dietmar

And next integrated, has no call at all, funny. Now, only one is left for to have also NTDLL.DLL without any cmpxchg8b 53 55 8B E9 8B DA 8B 55 04 8B 45 00 8B 4C 24 0C 89 01 8D 8A 00 00 01 00 03 4C 24 10 F0 0F B1 5D 00 75 F0 50 8B C2 F0 0F B1 4D 04 58 75 F5 5D 5B C2 08 00

@pappyN4 I make a new try with your idea. Because in NTDLL.DLL appears 5 times cmpxchg8b, I reserve 64 Byte for each of their modd. So, the 512 Byte are enough. For to understand everything, I use in the beginning the original ntoskrnl.exe. And I try to emulate first only one function in NTDLL.DLL, only the part of RtlInterlockedPopEntrySList with cmpxchg8b, .text:7C912A8C sub_7C912A8C proc near. This is the most crazy function, when this is done, the rest is easy Dietmar

I found out, that this Emulation fails for the crazy function. When I add Cli and Sti, winlogon fails on Cli. Everything with relocation works now for me. Emulation of RtlInterlockedPopEntrySList crashes winlogon.exe, I can see the mouse pointer Dietmar EDIT: With ntdll!RtlpInterlockedFlushSList is all correct, it is here shown, because I changed places with ntdll!RtlInterlockedPopEntrySList , so Windbg shows wrong message. *** An Access Violation occurred in winlogon.exe: The instruction at 00000000 tried to read from a NULL pointer *** enter .exr 0006F964 for the exception record *** enter .cxr 0006F980 for the context *** then kb to get the faulting stack Break instruction exception - code 80000003 (first chance) NTDLL!DbgBreakPoint: 001b:7c91120e cc int 3 kd> .exr 0006F964 ExceptionAddress: 00000000 ExceptionCode: c0000005 (Access violation) ExceptionFlags: 00000000 NumberParameters: 2 Parameter[0]: 00000000 Parameter[1]: 00000000 Attempt to read from address 00000000 kd> cxr 0006F980 Couldn't resolve error at 'xr 0006F980' kd> kb ChildEBP RetAddr Args to Child 0006f568 7c9752ae 00000000 7c885780 010304fd NTDLL!DbgBreakPoint 0006f5a8 7c9759c1 0006f870 7c9759c6 0006f828 NTDLL!RtlUnhandledExceptionFilter2+0x27b 0006f5b8 7c864031 0006f870 c0000005 00261e90 NTDLL!RtlUnhandledExceptionFilter+0x12 WARNING: Frame IP not in any known module.

@pappyN4 I dont know, how to do this.

@pappyN4 Can this be used, to put 32 Byte free space direct after EACH function of NTDLL.DLL with cmpxchg8b in it Dietmar

@pappyN4 Oh..waaaoh, do you have this program for me also, with which you reach this Dietmar

@pappyN4 I succeed to relocate this crazy function!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First, I relocate to .DATA section the RtlInterlockedFlushSList function. This works. Then I zero out all the place where it has been before. Then I delete the whole crazy function RtlInterlockedPopEntrySList at its original place. This function RtlInterlockedPopEntrySList I relocate after this to the place, where before the Flush function stays. There I copy and past with Winhex this crazy function, set all calls by hand to this place. And voila, with this small setting (relocation) in front of the old crazy function, now I have after her in .TEXT section enough place for modd Dietmar

It seems, as if crazy XP reads 00 00 as the hexadecimal representation of the opcode for the instruction add byte ptr [eax], al in .DATA section Dietmar

How can I increase .TEXT size for a PE file Dietmar

@pappyN4 With all the other functions it was no problem to use .DATA space. Only not for this crazy function. The problem is, that there is no free place in .TEXT or I just do not find Dietmar

I do not find a place in ntdll.dll, where I can relocate this (original) function. I check all, the relocation is done correct. Always I get this Bsod from above after relocation, even it is the identic function, just on other place. With all the other functions, relocation was no problem. Even no problem after relocation of RtlInterlockedFlushSList in ntdll.dll itself. But RtlInterlockedPopEntrySList is crazy. Bsod stays the same, when I replace to the original ntoskrnl.exe.
