Hardware pass: hardware watchpoints, ETE differential tracing, kernel-side event injection
Add the layer under the software tooling, in the repository's shape: what runs on a host is measured, and every device-bound or kernel-bound piece is a gated, labelled template. - scripts/hw_watch.py: arm64 hardware watchpoints/execution breakpoints. WCR/ BCR encoders with the 8-byte-window and alignment rules (unit-tested to the canonical 0x1FFD/0x3F05), a self-contained on-device ptrace helper that compiles clean as a static aarch64 ELF (observed: cross gcc 16.2), adb orchestration, and hit decoding to module+offset. The stealth ledger is stated three times on purpose: the ptrace route leaves TracerPid visible. - scripts/ete_capture.py: CoreSight ETE capture with the five gates (kernel era, coresight sysfs, cs_etm PMU, perf-with-CORESIGHT, permission), the perf/OpenCSD build recipe, and the per-thread record wrapper whose --control one-instruction run must pass before any real capture. - scripts/trace_diff.py: differential reduction of two execution traces into first-divergence / divergent regions / blocks-unique-to-each-side. Producer-agnostic: Stalker BLK logs (raw or run_probe-wrapped) and decoded cs_etm address streams alike, host-tested on synthetic flattened-dispatcher fixtures. - scripts/kernel_instrument_scaffold.py: KPM/LKM watchpoint + register-rewrite templates plus an honest userspace carrier; every kernel file carries a NOT COMPILED AND NOT LOADED banner that verify enforces, and the register-rewrite action is fenced as experimental in the template itself. - references/hardware-watchpoints.md, references/ete-diff-tracing.md, references/kernel-event-injection.md: the mechanism, the gates, the traps, and the composition recipes (watch the key buffer; diff two runs; flip the decision at the trap), with hand-offs instead of duplication. - Registration: 3 symptom rows (SKILL.md + routing mirror), 3 reference rows, 4 script rows, coverage/route-inventory/evidence rows, capability-matrix entries, known-limitations entry, eval case 4, README trees and coverage paragraphs in both languages, and three EXTENSION evidence records stating exactly what was measured on this host (encoders, compile, fixtures, generate/verify) and what was not (no watchpoint armed, no cs_etm stream, nothing kernel-side compiled or loaded anywhere). Hardware pass 2: SPE/BRBE crash forensics, address symbolization, VM de-virtualization Calibrated against the two public obfuscator implementations the user supplied (dpkg123/ollvm-aosp-toolchain: Hikari-family and Pluto-family flattening, the xvmp IR virtualizer at 63fec41f/9b7cf75e; fetched read-only into tools/_work/refs, git-ignored). Source facts observed, runtime inferred. - scripts/trace_addr2sym.py: runtime addresses -> symbol + static offset, zero-dependency ELF64 (PT_LOAD vaddr<->file-off conversion, .dynsym/.symtab, stripped section+off fallback). Host-verified against a real cross-compiled aarch64 .so with readelf as the independent cross-check, plus a hand-built minimal ELF covering vaddr!=offset; accepts hw_watch hits, trace mod+off keys, or raw address lists. Fixes on the way: --base int coercion, and nearest-below symbol semantics for PCs in inter-symbol gaps. - scripts/vm_handler_slice.py: slice an interpreter trace into handler segments (dispatcher detection = histogram top + predecessor diversity; the first 4x-margin rule refused the calibrated fixture itself and was replaced), signature clustering, open-tail handling, and the guest-opcode trajectory via an optional handler->opcode map. Calibrated against xvmp's documented shape: vm_exec(code,size,vm_args,num) stubs, boxed arguments observable before interpretation, 11 opcodes + 19 arithmetic sub-ops, const-materialization dispatch as a distinct segment. - references/hardware-sampling-and-crash.md: SPE (data flow without a known address; PC + data address per sample), BRBE (branch records when a crash stack cannot be trusted), the crash loop (tombstone -> branch records -> symbolize), and what each adds to the OLLVM/VMP routes. All documented-and-gated: no SPE sample or BRBE record was captured here. - Flattening-recipe corrections from source: Hikari keeps a frame-resident switchVar written through an indirect pointer with scramble32-permuted cases; Pluto stores switchVar/switchXor rolling-XOR so memory only ever holds noise -- hardware-watchpoints.md's state-variable recipe now distinguishes the families, and ete-diff-tracing.md carries the family table plus the xvmp shape. AntiDebugging injects raw svc inline asm with randomized fields, so byte signatures cannot survive it; semantic site-location can. - Registration: 3 symptom rows (untrustworthy crash stack; runtime addresses needing symbols; interpreter loop reading as noise), reference/script rows, coverage/evidence/capability-matrix entries, README trees in both languages, and EXTENSION-sampling-crash.md recording exactly what was measured (real .so symbolization, slicer fixtures, the slicer's self-found dispatcher-rule bug) and what was not (no SPE/BRBE capture, no hardened binary ever traced). Fix all PR #1 review findings by severity; un-entrench the tests that pinned them Major (device-breaking / wrong results): - hw_watch: match the arm64 user_hwdebug_state slot ABI (address register first, control second -- the swap armed nothing correctly) - hw_watch: every post-seize error path now clears slots and detaches; PTRACE_O_EXITKILL turned an analysis failure into a SIGKILL of the target - hw_watch: forward genuine target SIGTRAPs (raise/tgkill/int3); only ptrace event stops are consumed -- the reference's signal-preservation promise - hw_watch: run checks push/build/chmod and the helper's exit status; a dead capture is RESULT=blocked, never ok-no-hits - hw_watch: decode offsets from the module base, not each mapping's start - ete_capture: --control now requires the control record to DECODE (perf script event lines), the documented gate, not just a zero exit - ete_capture: -o before the -- workload separator in --cmd mode; all values shell-quoted into su -c; stale remote perf.data removed first; perf exit status checked (timeout's 124 is the normal window end) - kernel scaffold: --set-reg restricted to x0..x30; the rewrite is gated by its own breakpoint event so a watchpoint hit cannot run it; LKM pins the task (get/put_task_struct) across registration and calls the four-argument register_user_hw_breakpoint; --break rows initialize .addr/.len/.bp_type (there is no .pc member); --id validated against the module-id grammar - trace_addr2sym: exact module matching (path or basename, never substring); load bias aligned against the PT_LOAD (bias = start - (foff - p_offset) - p_vaddr); PCs outside the ELF span are refused instead of landing on the last symbol; --json stdout is a pure document (RESULT= in text mode only) - trace_diff: block keys need 0x or >=8 hex digits (PIDs/counts no longer parse); vm_handler_slice: dispatcher needs predecessor diversity, no frequency-margin fallback; both JSON outputs pure (check_commands' rule) Minor/nitpick: - capability-matrix + evidence-summary: trace reduction status ok->partial (no real-target producer ran it; the file's own definition of ok) - hardware-sampling-and-crash.md and the script examples carry --elf - kernel-event-injection.md no longer claims the callback's first statement is a filter (it prints unfiltered; the filter is a required change) - Elf64 caches symbol addresses for per-row bisect - docstring coverage of the touched surface: 16.67% -> 100% Tests: every json.loads workaround stripping RESULT= is gone; new regression tests cover the slot ABI, release-on-error, SIGTRAP forwarding, non-first mapping offsets, -o placement and su -c quoting, the control decode gate, x31/--id refusals, the guarded rewrite, outside-ELF PCs and bias math, short-token refusal and the dispatcher margin rule. The minimal-ELF fixture now packs a full 8-field Elf64_Phdr (its 7-field pack silently shifted p_memsz onto p_align). 739 passed; flake8/mypy and all five gates clean. Address the follow-up review on 0bd8dfe (6 findings) - ete_capture: two-layer quoting for the control-record, decode and cleanup commands -- shlex.quote spliced between literal single quotes broke out of su -c for any spaced output name; --seconds must be positive (timeout 0 disables the timer), refused before any adb check - kernel scaffold: --set-reg now refuses sp/pc as well (the template has no rewrite path for them; a generate that silently drops the action is the misleading kind of success); both templates arm with a sampling period (LKM via hw_breakpoint_init, KPM spells out sample_period=1) -- a zero period is a non-sampling event whose callback never fires: armed, silent - trace_addr2sym: contains_vaddr tests each PT_LOAD's loaded span instead of the whole-file extent; a PC in the unmapped gap between segments is refused rather than named after the nearest symbol below - trace_diff: a bare all-digit token is indistinguishable from a date or count, so block keys need 0x or a non-decimal hex digit; a date-only log stays refused as a capture failure Tests: two-layer quoting with a spaced control name, --seconds refusal, sp/pc in the rejection list, sampling-period assertions for both templates, a two-segment gap fixture, and a date-only parser case. 743 passed; flake8, mypy and all five gates clean.

# Extension verification — ETE differential tracing (gates, reducer, differ)
|

|

Covers the hardware-layer pass that added `scripts/ete_capture.py`, `scripts/trace_diff.py` and
|
||||
`references/ete-diff-tracing.md`. Strength labels as this directory's README defines them.
|
||||
|

Reference environment: Linux container host, Python 3.13, adb present with no device. No
|
||||
coresight-capable hardware exists in this environment at all; the reference device of the
|
||||
earlier passes (kernel 4.14.186) has the ETE gate closed permanently (`observed` there).
|
||||
|
||||
**Headline: the gate table, the recipe and the capture wrapper are host-measured; the
|
||||
differential reducer is host-measured on synthetic flattened-dispatcher fixtures. No ETE trace
|
||||
was captured or decoded anywhere in this pass — the producer side is `unverified` and the
|
||||
`--control` run exists precisely so the next device says so in one command.**

|
||||
|
||||
- **the identical prefix** (`D R1 D R2`, 5 events) is the shared machinery — exactly where
|
||||
parsing ends and the input-dependent path begins;
|
||||
- **first divergence** names the dispatcher entry whose state constant differed;
|
||||
- **unique-to-each-side** lists are the input-dependent block set, which is the deliverable
|
||||
the reference file's §4 interprets per obfuscation.
|
||||
|
||||
`reduce` on one side prints the histogram with the dispatcher as the wide-margin top
|
||||
(4 hits vs 1 for every real block) — the same shape `stalker_report.py` documents for Stalker
|
||||
logs, reached from a different producer.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Gate and capture plumbing — observed (to the no-device boundary)
|
||||
|
||||
`gates` prints the five-gate table; `gates --device` with adb present but no device degrades
|
||||
to five `OPEN` rows and `RESULT=partial` rather than a traceback — measured. `capture --pid 1`
|
||||
without a device exits through the pull failure with `RESULT=blocked` and exit code 3
|
||||
(no-device capability refusal, per the CLI contract) — measured. `recipe` prints the
|
||||
Termux and cross build paths for perf-with-CORESIGHT — `inferred` from the kernel's
|
||||
tools/perf CoreSight documentation and the OpenCSD project, not from a build performed here.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. What this pass deliberately did not do
|
||||
|
||||
- No perf-with-CORESIGHT was built (host or device): the recipe is a documented path, and a
|
||||
reader who builds it owes the control record (`capture --control`) before any real capture.
|
||||
- No decoded cs_etm stream was fed to `trace_diff.py`; the `plain` parser accepts the
|
||||
address-bearing lines `perf script` emits, but that exact pairing is `unverified`.
|
||||
- No claim about ETE's runtime overhead or its visibility to targets was measured. The
|
||||
reference states the mechanism (no code modification, no ptrace) and refuses to go further.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Facts this pass pinned for the next one
|
||||
|
||||
- The differ is **producer-agnostic by design**: the same command answers Stalker logs today
|
||||
and cs_etm decode output tomorrow. That is why the diff subcommand ships now, not after the
|
||||
first ETE capture — it is useful the day a Stalker pair exists.
|
||||
- The five gates each fail **silently** downstream; the reference's table says which silence
|
||||
each gate produces. The one-instruction control record is the only gate that exercises the
|
||||
whole pipe, which is why `capture` refuses to continue when it fails.
|
||||
- Run design is part of the tool contract, not user care: `trace_diff.py` refuses empty logs
|
||||
with a message that points at the zero-event diagnostics, because an empty trace is a
|
||||
capture failure wearing an analysis result's clothes.

# Extension verification — hardware watchpoints (ptrace route, helper, encoders)
|
||||
|
||||
Covers the hardware-layer pass that added `scripts/hw_watch.py` and
|
||||
`references/hardware-watchpoints.md`. Strength labels as this directory's README defines them.
|
||||
|
||||
Reference environment: Linux container host, Python 3.13, cross `gcc 16.2.0` targeting
|
||||
`aarch64-linux-gnu`. No Android device was attached during this pass; `adb` exists on PATH but
|
||||
reports no devices (`adb: no devices/emulators found`, observed).
|
||||
|
||||
**Headline: the encoders, the plan/emit/decode paths and the helper's build are measured on the
|
||||
host — including a clean static aarch64 compile of the emitted C. No watchpoint was armed on any
|
||||
device by this pass; the device-side behaviour is `unverified` by this record.**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Encoder acceptance and refusal — observed
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/hw_watch.py plan --addr 0x1004 --len 4 --access w --json
|
||||
{"status": "ok", "specs": [{"kind": "watch", "addr": 4100, "len": 4, "access": "w", "vr": 4096,
|
||||
"cr": 7701, "cr_fields": "BAS=0xf0 LSC=store PAC=EL0 E=1"}]}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
WCR `0x1E15` = BAS `0xf0` (bytes 4–7 of the aligned window) | store | EL0 | enabled — the bit
|
||||
fields decompose back to the inputs exactly. Refusals measured with exit 2 and a reason:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--addr 0x7b2000123456 --len 8` (addr&7=6, 6+8>8): *"crosses its aligned 8-byte window"*
|
||||
- `plan --break 0x1002`: *"breakpoint PC 0x1002 is not 4-byte aligned"*
|
||||
|
||||
The canonical values are pinned by unit test (`tests/unit/test_hw_watch.py`): 8-byte rw watch
|
||||
`WCR=0x1FFD`, address-match EL0 breakpoint `BCR=0x3F05`.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. The emitted helper compiles as a static aarch64 ELF — observed
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/hw_watch.py emit --out work/hwwatch
|
||||
$ gcc -static -O2 -o hwwatch work/hwwatch/hwwatch_helper.c
|
||||
$ file hwwatch
|
||||
hwwatch: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Zero errors, zero warnings after one fix (a `TRAP_HWBKPT` redefinition against glibc's
|
||||
`signal.h` needed an `#ifndef` guard; bionic defines the same macro). The compiler here is a
|
||||
cross glibc toolchain, not the NDK — the binary was not run, and the runtime behaviour of the
|
||||
ptrace loop (seize/interrupt per tid, `PTRACE_O_TRACECLONE` arming, `TRAP_HWBKPT` siginfo
|
||||
handling, the disable-step-rearm breakpoint dance, group-stop `PTRACE_LISTEN`) remains
|
||||
**`unverified`** until a device runs the control procedure in the reference's §3.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. What this pass deliberately did not do
|
||||
|
||||
- No device was attached: no `READY watch_slots=N` probe, no slot-capacity read, no control
|
||||
run, no hit. Every device-behaviour claim in `hardware-watchpoints.md` carries `unverified`.
|
||||
- `decode` was exercised on synthetic `HIT` lines only (unit test); a real `/proc/<pid>/maps`
|
||||
pull was not available to feed it.
|
||||
- `run` (build+push+stream) was exercised to its argument-validation and no-adb exits only;
|
||||
its `exit 3` on missing adb was measured before a device was ever contacted.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Facts this pass pinned for the next one
|
||||
|
||||
- `slot_capacity` reads `dbg_info & 0xff` from the `NT_ARM_HW_WATCH`/`NT_ARM_HW_BREAK`
|
||||
regsets — the ABI gdb uses for the same purpose; on a masked kernel this returns 0 and the
|
||||
helper prints `READY ... watch_slots=0`, which the reference file treats as a **closed
|
||||
gate**, not a tuning problem.
|
||||
- The helper's output grammar (`READY`/`ARM`/`HIT`/`EXIT`/`DONE`) is load-bearing: `decode`
|
||||
and the reference's control procedure both parse it. Changing the helper means regenerating
|
||||
both ends.
|
||||
- The honesty ledger (ptrace route leaves `TracerPid` visible) is stated in three places on
|
||||
purpose — script header, reference §1, evidence summary — because the tempting wrong claim
|
||||
("invisible") is exactly what a reader under pressure wants to believe.

# Extension verification — kernel-side instrumentation scaffold (templates, gates, verify)
|

Covers the hardware-layer pass that added `scripts/kernel_instrument_scaffold.py` and
|
||||
`references/kernel-event-injection.md`. Strength labels as this directory's README defines
|

them. This pass follows `EXTENSION-kernel-weapons.md`'s shape deliberately: a generator whose
|
||||
host behaviour is measured, kernel-side templates that have never been compiled or loaded
|
||||
anywhere, and the gate table that says so.
|
||||
|
||||
Reference environment: Linux container host, Python 3.13, no `aarch64-none-elf-gcc`
|

(`gates` reports NOT FOUND — observed), no APatch/KernelPatch boot image, no device.
|
||||
|

**Headline: `gates`/`generate`/`verify` are measured on the host. Every generated kernel-side
|
||||
file carries a `NOT COMPILED AND NOT LOADED` banner that `verify` enforces. The

|
||||
anywhere, by anyone in this repository.**
|
||||

|
||||
|

## 1. Generate + verify round trip — observed

||||
Spec validation reuses the hardware rules and refuses at generation, before any file is
|
||||
written: a watch crossing its 8-byte window and a misaligned breakpoint PC both exit 2 with
|
||||
the reason (`observed`, same refusal strings as `hw_watch.py plan` — one rule, one copy in
|
||||
each tool, both unit-tested).
|
||||
|
||||
The generated KPM template embeds: `kfunc_def(...)` declarations **without** `extern` (the
|
||||
loader-rejection lesson recorded in `EXTENSION-kernel-weapons.md`, restated in the template's
|
||||
own header), a callback whose first statements are the cheap filter, and the watch config as
|
||||
generated constants with *"regenerate rather than hand-edit"* in the config JSON.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. The honesty devices this pass ships
|
||||
|
||||
- **The primitive map is a capability table, not a wishlist.** Each cell names what the route
|
||||
can do, and the `no` cells (eBPF cannot create perf breakpoint events; a userspace module
|
||||
cannot arm anything) are the rows that stop a reader from spending a day on a route that
|
||||
cannot express the need.
|
||||
- **The experimental action is fenced three times**: template comment, script header, and the
|
||||
reference's stop table ("the first run is a measurement"). Rewriting `pt_regs` in a perf
|
||||
overflow callback is mechanically what a ptrace stop does, and that is exactly as far as
|
||||
the claim goes.
|
||||
- **The userspace carrier cannot arm watchpoints and says so in its own README** — the same
|
||||
structural correction `EXTENSION-kernel-weapons.md` made for syscall masking, applied
|
||||
before anyone could misread this module the same way.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. What this pass deliberately did not do
|
||||
|
||||
- Nothing was compiled: no `aarch64-none-elf-gcc` exists here, no KernelPatch image exists on
|
||||
any reference device, and the LKM route has no matching kernel source. All three kernel
|
||||
files are `unverified` templates and are labelled so in the files themselves.
|
||||
- No claim about whether `register_hw_breakpoint` can be resolved from a KPM on any specific
|
||||
KernelPatch revision is made; the template says to verify symbol names against the
|
||||
revision's `kpmodule.h`, which is the same instruction the syscall-mask template gives.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Facts this pass pinned for the next one
|
||||
|
||||
- The kernel's **perf breakpoint layer owning the debug registers** is a gate in its own
|
||||
right: if `CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS` is out, both templates close regardless of root scheme.
|
||||
Probe: `ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/breakpoint` on the device.
|
||||
- `verify` exists so the banner survives edits: someone will adapt a template on a real
|
||||
device, strip the banner, and the next reader must be able to tell an adapted-unverified
|
||||
file from a measured one. A banner replaced by a real measurement is the intended
|
||||
outcome, and `kernel-event-injection.md`'s checklist says so.

# Extension verification — sampling, crash forensics, symbolization, de-virtualization
|
||||
|
||||
Covers the second hardware-layer pass: `references/hardware-sampling-and-crash.md`,
|
||||
`scripts/trace_addr2sym.py`, `scripts/vm_handler_slice.py`, and the source-reading
|
||||
corrections to the flattening recipes. Strength labels as this directory's README defines
|
||||
them.
|
||||
|
||||
Reference environment: Linux container host, Python 3.13, cross `gcc 16.2.0` targeting

`aarch64-linux-gnu` (the toolchain that makes the symbolizer's "real ELF" half testable).

Network access was used once, read-only, to fetch the two public obfuscator implementations
|

the calibration cites (below). No Android device, no coresight/SPE/BRBE hardware.

**Headline: the address→symbol loop is measured against a real cross-compiled library, the

de-virtualization slicer is measured on synthetic interpreter traces, and the SPE/BRBE
|
||||
producer side remains documented-and-gated. The flattening-recipe corrections are read from
|
||||
public source, and that source is named.**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. `trace_addr2sym.py` against a real library — observed
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ gcc -shared -fPIC -O2 -o libtlib.so tlib.c # cross gcc -> aarch64 ELF64
|
||||
$ readelf --syms -W libtlib.so
|
||||
... 00000000000005e0 132 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 9 encrypt_block
|
||||
... 0000000000000664 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 9 decrypt_block
|
||||
$ python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/trace_addr2sym.py --elf libtlib.so --offs 0x610
|
||||
0x610 -> encrypt_block+0x30 [vaddr 0x610 file 0x610 .text+0x130]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The resolution agrees with `readelf` exactly (0x610 − 0x5e0 = 0x30, inside the sized symbol);
|
||||
a point outside any function falls to the nearest-below symbol with its section shown
|
||||
(`0x700 -> _fini+0x98 [.eh_frame+0x40]`), which is GNU-addr2line-shaped behaviour and is
|
||||
pinned by unit test together with the PT_LOAD `vaddr≠offset` conversion on a hand-built
|
||||
minimal ELF. That minimal-ELF fixture also covers the stripped-library fallback
|
||||
(section+offset, no symbols).
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. `vm_handler_slice.py` on the calibrated shape — observed
|
||||
|
||||
A synthetic interpreter trace in the shape the public IR virtualizer emits
|
||||
(dispatcher D, handler blocks, one const-materialization segment, an unclosed tail):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/vm_handler_slice.py --log vm.log --opcode-map map.json
|
||||
dispatcher: libvm.so+0x1000 (41.7% of 24 blocks, 10 hits)
|
||||
segments: 10 total, 7 unique, avg len 2.00 [last segment UNCLOSED: exit path or truncated window]
|
||||
opcode trajectory (first 20): OP_LOAD OP_LOAD OP_STORE OP_BR OP_LOAD OP_LOAD OP_BR OP_CALL OP_LOAD OP_RET
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
What the output pins, and why each part is the part a de-virtualization needs: the
|
||||
**dispatcher share** (with the diagnostic that separates a real dispatch loop from a spin
|
||||
loop), the **segment table** (one row per handler chain, first block = handler entry =
|
||||
the `--opcode-map` key), the **trajectory** (the guest program, one signature per executed
|
||||
guest opcode), the **OP_CALL materialization segment** appearing as its own signature (the
|
||||
virtualizer's const dispatch — the second observation point the calibration names), and the
|
||||
**UNCLOSED tail** flagged rather than silently dropped. The auto-detection rule is
|
||||
top-of-histogram **plus predecessor diversity** (≥3 distinct predecessors), not a naive
|
||||
count margin: the first implementation used a 4x margin and refused this very fixture —
|
||||
in a stack-shaped VM the hottest handler executes on every guest instruction, exactly as
|
||||
often as the dispatcher. That refusal-to-accept is the load-bearing part of the auto rule.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. The flattening-recipe corrections — observed source, inferred runtime
|
||||
|
||||
Fetched read-only from the public implementations the user supplied
|
||||
(github.com/dpkg123/ollvm-aosp-toolchain: branch `ollvm-r614150-clang23-rebase+omp`

|
||||
9b7cf75e for the IR virtualizer; 2026-10):
|
||||
|
||||
- **Hikari `Flattening.cpp`**: `switchVar` is an entry-block **alloca** written through a
|
||||
`switchVarAddr` double pointer (indirect store per transition); case values are
|
||||
`scramble32`-permuted; EH-bearing functions are skipped.
|
||||
- **Pluto `Flattening.cpp`**: two allocas (`switchVar`, `switchXor`) with a **rolling XOR**
|
||||
(`enc^=delta; key^=delta; cond=enc^key` per dispatch); case values fully random; the true
|
||||
case exists only in the `switchCond` register for one instruction; EH/`callbr`/`indirectbr`
|
||||
functions skipped.
|
||||
- **Hikari `AntiDebugging.cpp`**: on Darwin/AArch64 it injects **inline-assembly raw `svc`**
|
||||
with a randomized register-setup order and a **randomized svc immediate**; elsewhere it
|
||||
links precompiled anti-debug IR. Consequence recorded in the reference: byte signatures
|
||||
cannot survive the randomization; semantic site-location (`svc_scan.py`) and hardware
|
||||
observation do not care.
|
||||
- **The IR virtualizer**: `vm_exec(code, size, vm_args, num)` stubs, boxed-argument array,
|
||||
11 one-byte opcodes + 19 arithmetic sub-ops, const/call materialization dispatch,
|
||||
switch-to-if lowering.
|
||||
|
||||
These corrected `hardware-watchpoints.md`'s state-variable recipe (the old text assumed a
|
||||
global and a readable value — wrong for both families as shipped) and added the
|
||||
family-difference table to `ete-diff-tracing.md` §5. The fetches live under
|
||||
`tools/_work/refs/` (git-ignored); **runtime behaviour of these passes is `inferred` from
|
||||
source, never executed here.**
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. What this pass deliberately did not do
|
||||
|
||||
- No SPE capture, no BRBE record read, no `perf -j any` on any device: those routes ship as
|
||||
documented-and-gated, and the reference's §5 failure modes say exactly how each gate
|
||||
fails silently.
|
||||
- No xvmp-hardened binary was compiled or traced: the slicer's calibration is source-read,
|
||||
and its first run against a real sample is a measurement, not a confirmation.
|
||||
- The `--opcode-map` a real target needs is a manual labelling task over the segment table;

this pass generated the fixture's map by hand, which is exactly the workflow the script

documents.

# ETE differential tracing — hardware execution streams, two runs, one answer
|
||||
|
||||
Load this when the question is **where two runs of the same code diverge** — password
|
||||
accepted versus rejected, license valid versus invalid, key A versus key B — and every
|
||||
software tracer either modifies the code it traces (Stalker: the DBI cache), crashes under
|
||||
the load (the measured `load average 34.11` case), or delivers nothing at all (the measured
|
||||
zero-event follow in `references/native-dbi-and-deobfuscation.md` §6 Failure modes). An
|
||||
ARMv8.4-era core's **ETE** streams executed-branch records off-core **in hardware**, and
|
||||
**TRBE** collects them self-hosted; the target's own image, its timing profile and its
|
||||
`TracerPid` are untouched. This file owns the gates, the capture and the differential
|
||||
method; `scripts/ete_capture.py` runs the gates and the capture, and `scripts/trace_diff.py`
|
||||
is the differ — which is producer-agnostic and works on Stalker logs too.
|
||||
|
||||
**Claim strength.** The gates, the recipe and the capture wrapper run on the host —
|
||||
`observed`. The differential reducer is host-tested on synthetic flattened-dispatcher
|
||||
fixtures — `observed` for the tool, `inferred` for the method. **No ETE trace has been
|
||||
captured or decoded by this repository**: no reference device here has coresight compiled in
|
||||
(reference kernel 4.14.186 — the ETE gate is closed there, `observed`). The command shapes
|
||||
follow the kernel's `tools/perf` CoreSight documentation and the OpenCSD project — treat
|
||||
them as the documented upstream interface until your own control record decodes.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. The mechanism, in the size that matters
|
||||
|
||||
| Piece | What it is | Why you care |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **ETE** (Embedded Trace Extension) | the ARMv8.4 trace unit; emits executed-branch/instruction packets without instrumenting anything | nothing in the process image changes; page checksums stay clean |
|
||||
| **TRBE** (Trace Buffer Extension) | per-CPU self-hosted trace buffer | per-thread tracing with no external debugger and no shared sink |
|
||||
| `cs_etm` PMU | the Linux perf interface to ETE/ETM | `perf record -e cs_etm//u --per-thread` is the whole capture |
|
||||
| OpenCSD | the decode library perf links against | a stock perf **records** an aux buffer it cannot **decode** — the classic silent failure |
|
||||
| `scripts/trace_diff.py` | reduce + diff two decoded streams | the differ is the reusable half; it also eats Stalker `BLK` logs |
|
||||
|
||||
The old `etm`-only world (no TRBE) still traces, but through a **shared** sink
|
||||
(`tmc_etrN`) that cannot do `--per-thread`, is frequently reserved by the vendor, and
|
||||
mixes CPUs — the differential method still applies but run design gets harder. Prefer
|
||||
devices with `trbeN` in `/sys/bus/coresight/devices`.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. The five gates — probe before you design anything
|
||||
|
||||
Every closed gate fails **silently** later: an old kernel reports no PMU; a kernel without
|
||||
TRBE cannot per-thread; a perf without OpenCSD decodes nothing; SELinux can deny
|
||||
`perf_event_open` even to root. One command each, then believe the table:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/ete_capture.py gates --device
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Gate | Expected | Closed means |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| kernel era | ≥ 5.10 | the ETE/TRBE drivers are not in your kernel at all |
|
||||
| coresight devices | `ete<N>` **and** `trbe<N>` in sysfs | `ete` absent: no trace unit; `trbe` absent: shared sink only |
|
||||
| `cs_etm` PMU | `/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cs_etm` exists | perf cannot speak to coresight |
|
||||
| perf with CORESIGHT | `perf list` shows `cs_etm` | you can record but not decode |
|
||||
| permission | a control record of `true` decodes | the pipe is closed at SELinux/paranoid level |
|
||||
|
||||
A closed gate is a **route decision** — record it in one line per
|
||||
`references/kernel-and-environment-hardening.md` §6 What the reference environment chose
|
||||
(and why it generalises), and do not re-derive it mid-task. The reference environment's own
|
||||
line: kernel 4.14.186 → ETE closed, permanently, on that device.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Capture
|
||||
|
||||
`ete_capture.py recipe` prints the full build path for a perf-with-CORESIGHT (on-device
|
||||
Termux or cross). The capture itself, per-thread on TRBE:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/ete_capture.py capture --pid <PID> --seconds 10 --out a.data --control
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`--control` is not decoration: it records a **one-instruction process** (`true`) first and
|
||||
refuses to continue if that does not decode. A capture of the real target that "looks fine"
|
||||
is worth nothing until the control has produced packets — this is the same discipline as the
|
||||
Stalker zero-event lesson, paid for once already in this repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Decode to an address stream (device or host, wherever your perf lives):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
perf script -i a.data > a.log
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/trace_diff.py reduce --log a.log
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Volume rule from `native-dbi-and-deobfuscation.md` §3 transfers: one module, one bounded
|
||||
window. ETE traces the *whole thread*, so capture around one operation (launch to first
|
||||
frame, one login attempt, one encrypt call), not a session.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. The differential method
|
||||
|
||||
**Design the pair before touching the device.** The method answers only the question the
|
||||
pair was built to ask:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **One changed bit of input, everything else identical.** Wrong password *character*,
|
||||
not wrong password *length* (length changes parsing). Key `0x0000...` vs `0x8000...`.
|
||||
License whose checksum byte differs. Two runs, same build, same screen state, same
|
||||
window boundaries.
|
||||
2. **Reduce both streams to module-relative keys.** Raw pointers move with ASLR;
|
||||
`liba.so+0x9f6c0` is comparable across runs, `0x7b20f29f6c0` is not.
|
||||
`trace_diff.py` keeps `mod+0xoff` keys verbatim for exactly this reason.
|
||||
3. **Diff and read three things** — `trace_diff.py diff --a a.log --b b.log` prints them:
|
||||
- **identical prefix span** — the shared machinery before your input bit reached
|
||||
control flow; it names where parsing/handling ends and the decision begins;
|
||||
- **first divergence** — the branch that first consumed your input difference. In a
|
||||
flattened dispatcher this is where the state constant differs;
|
||||
- **blocks unique to each side, ranked** — the input-dependent set. For "valid vs
|
||||
invalid", the B-unique list *is* what the valid path does that the invalid one
|
||||
never reaches.
|
||||
4. **Interpret per obfuscation:**
|
||||
- **OLLVM flattening**: dispatcher `D` matches on both sides (it is machinery); the
|
||||
divergent `R<n>` blocks between `D`s are the real blocks the two inputs select
|
||||
between. Combined with the state-variable watchpoint in
|
||||
`references/hardware-watchpoints.md` §4, the diff gives you the state constants to
|
||||
complete the CFG recovery of `native-dbi-and-deobfuscation.md` §5 without a solver.
|
||||
- **VMP / interpreter loops**: the handler loop matches (it is the interpreter);
|
||||
unique blocks are guest-opcode handlers. The *sequence* difference between two
|
||||
inputs is a private-opcode trace — feed it to the differential mapping machinery in
|
||||
`references/vmp-differential-analysis.md` as ground truth instead of guessing.
|
||||
- **Whitebox / key-derived logic**: the unique-to-each-side sets across several key
|
||||
pairs approximate the key-dependent branch set; a branch that never appears in
|
||||
either side of any pair is not key-dependent — stop reversing it.
|
||||
5. **Repeat once with the inputs swapped** if the result decides a patch. A divergence that
|
||||
moves when the inputs move is real; one that moves when it should not is capture noise.
|
||||
|
||||
**What the tool does not enforce** (its header says so too): same build, same address space,
|
||||
same window, one-bit difference. A diff across two builds is noise with a confident
|
||||
rendering.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. What the obfuscator actually built — read from two open implementations
|
||||
|
||||
The differential reads better when you know what the two families actually emit. The facts
|
||||
below are read from the public AOSP-toolchain forks (dpkg123/ollvm-aosp-toolchain, branches
|
||||
`ollvm-r614150-clang23-rebase+omp` — the Hikari family — and `ollvm-r614150-clang23+omp` —

| | Hikari-family flattening | Pluto-family flattening |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| state variable | `switchVar` **alloca in the frame** + a `switchVarAddr` double pointer; every state store goes through an indirect load of that pointer | `switchVar` + `switchXor` **two allocas, rolling XOR**: `enc^=delta; key^=delta; cond=enc^key` on every dispatch |
|
||||
| case values | `scramble32` permuted (not 0,1,2…) | fully random per build; the true case exists only in the `switchCond` register for one instruction |
|
||||
| what a memory watchpoint sees | the permuted case value — decodable against the static switch table | **noise**: the stored enc and key never contain the case |
|
||||
| what a trace sees | identical in both: the block sequence — which is why the trace is the robust instrument |
|
||||
| skipped functions | EH-bearing (landingpad) | EH, `callbr`, `indirectbr` |
|
||||
|
||||
Consequences for this file's method: the **divergent-blocks reading (§4) is family-proof** —
|
||||
it never decodes the state variable. The **watchpoint-on-state recipe** is family-sensitive:
|
||||
Hikari-shaped targets can be read at the (frame-resident) slot via the pointer; Pluto-shaped
|
||||
targets need a breakpoint one instruction after the `switchCond` XOR to read the register
|
||||
(`references/hardware-watchpoints.md` §4 carries the corrected recipe). And the AntiDebugging
|
||||
pass of the Hikari family injects **raw `svc` inline asm with randomized register-setup
|
||||
order and a randomized svc immediate** (source-read): byte signatures cannot survive that
|
||||
randomization, but ETE's branch stream and `svc_scan.py`'s semantic site-location do not
|
||||
care — locate the check by what it *is*, never by its bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
**xvmp (IR-level virtualizer, same repo)**: each virtualized function becomes a stub calling
|
||||
`vm_exec(code, size, vm_args, num)` — bytecode bytes plus a boxed-argument array in the
|
||||
module; 11 one-byte opcodes with inline-const/slot operands and 19 arithmetic sub-ops;
|
||||
pointer constants materialize through a generated const/call dispatch at first use. For the
|
||||
tracing routes this means: the interpreter is one dominant loop (the §4 handler reading),
|
||||
the **guest inputs are observable at the `vm_args` array before interpretation starts** (a
|
||||
watchpoint there sees arguments and any key material, plaintext, whatever the bytecode
|
||||
carries), and each constant's bits pass through the materialization dispatch as a returned
|
||||
i64 — a second, cheap observation point. `scripts/vm_handler_slice.py` consumes the trace
|
||||
side and documents the handler->opcode map you can build against a *known* table like this
|
||||
one.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Failure modes
|
||||
|
||||
- **`perf record` succeeds, `perf script` prints nothing address-like** — perf without
|
||||
OpenCSD decode, or an aux buffer that never wrapped (window too short). The control run
|
||||
separates the two in one command.
|
||||
- **`gates --device` shows ete but no trbe** — shared-sink world: drop `--per-thread`,
|
||||
trace `-C <cpu>` with `cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u`, and pin the target to that CPU
|
||||
(`taskset`-style, or accept the mixture). Expect much more post-filtering.
|
||||
- **Aux overflow / gaps** — decode reports non-contiguous ranges: the window was too hot.
|
||||
Shrink it, or accept that the diff sees only a sampled path and say so in the conclusion.
|
||||
- **The two runs are not comparable** — different pids with different module bases and raw
|
||||
keys: everything diverges from address zero. Re-run through `reduce`, check that the
|
||||
top-of-histogram block is shared before diffing; if the top blocks differ, the pair is
|
||||
not a pair.
|
||||
- **ETE closes on the only device you have** — the honest answer, not a challenge; the
|
||||
fallback ladder for the *question* is Stalker (measured boundaries apply) or the
|
||||
watchpoint route (single addresses, no paths), never "trace harder".
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Hand-offs
|
||||
|
||||
- Divergence found, now you need the *values* at that site → hardware watchpoint or
|
||||
breakpoint (`references/hardware-watchpoints.md`), or QBDI per-instruction replay
|
||||
(`references/native-dbi-and-deobfuscation.md` §4 Stalker, QBDI, or emulation).
|
||||
- Divergence found, and you must *change* the decision with no code change →
|
||||
`references/kernel-event-injection.md`.
|
||||
- The path is known and you only need to call the routine → `references/emulation-and-rpc.md`.

# Hardware sampling and crash forensics — SPE data flow, BRBE branch records, and turning addresses into symbols
|
||||
|
||||
Load this when the question is **data flow rather than control flow** ("which code touches this
|
||||
buffer" without knowing the buffer's address yet — that is SPE's job, not a watchpoint's), when
|
||||
**a crash's stack unwind cannot be trusted** (obfuscated code, frame-pointer omission, stacks
|
||||
smashed by the fault itself — that is BRBE's job), or when you hold a list of runtime addresses
|
||||
that must become **symbols and static offsets** before they mean anything (that is
|
||||
`scripts/trace_addr2sym.py`'s job, and it closes the loop for every other tool here).
|
||||
|
||||
**Claim strength.** The ELF walker behind `trace_addr2sym.py` is host-tested against a real
|
||||
cross-compiled aarch64 shared library and a hand-built minimal ELF — `observed`. SPE/BRBE
|
||||
mechanisms and their kernel interfaces follow the ARM ARM and the kernel/perf documentation —
|
||||
`inferred`; **no SPE sample or BRBE record was ever captured on a device by this repository**
|
||||
(no reference device carries either feature) — the producer side is `unverified` and every
|
||||
route below starts with its gate probe.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. SPE — the watchpoint that does not need to know the address
|
||||
|
||||
The Statistical Profiling Extension (FEAT_SPE, ARMv8.2+, present from Cortex-A75/A55-class
|
||||
cores onward — far older hardware than ETE) samples instruction execution at a programmable
|
||||
interval and records, per sample: the **PC**, the **data virtual address** the instruction
|
||||
touched (for loads/stores), latency, and microarchitectural events (cache/TLB misses, branch
|
||||
mispredict). Two properties make it a reverse-engineering instrument rather than a profiler:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Data address + PC in one record.** That answers "which code reads/writes key-shaped
|
||||
buffers" *without a priori address knowledge* — the exact gap a watchpoint has (a
|
||||
watchpoint is precise and cheap but must be told where to look; SPE is sampled and noisy
|
||||
but asks nothing in advance). The workflow: capture SPE around the operation, group
|
||||
samples by data address, find addresses whose accessors are concentrated in the hardened
|
||||
`.so`, then graduate those addresses to a hardware watchpoint for precision.
|
||||
2. **It runs whether or not anyone cooperates.** No symbols, no relocations, no hooks; the
|
||||
aux buffer fills from user space with `perf record -e arm_spe_0// --per-thread`
|
||||
(`arm_spe<N>` PMU; kernel `CONFIG_ARM_SPE_PMU`; probe
|
||||
`ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/`). Decode with the same perf-with-OpenCSD-class build
|
||||
as ETE (`scripts/ete_capture.py recipe` builds both), or import the capture into
|
||||
Perfetto, which renders SPE records natively.
|
||||
|
||||
Gates and limits: SPE is **sampling** — a buffer touched twice may appear zero times; treat
|
||||
absence as weak evidence only (the same discipline as trace absence in
|
||||
`references/native-dbi-and-deobfuscation.md` §7 Reporting what a trace proves). The sampling
|
||||
interval trades coverage for overhead; and the data-address field is truncated/tagged on some
|
||||
implementations — verify on one known access first.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. BRBE — the last N branches before the crash
|
||||
|
||||
The Branch Record Buffer Extension (FEAT_BRBE, ARMv9.2+, Cortex-X3/A715-class cores and
|
||||
newer) is hardware that **continuously records the last N taken branches** (from→to pairs,
|
||||
32–64 records) into a buffer the kernel can read. It is the ARM equivalent of Intel's last
|
||||
branch record, and it exists precisely for the question a crash asks: *what was the control
|
||||
flow that led here?* — answered by hardware even when the stack is gone, the frame pointers
|
||||
were optimized out, or the code was flattened so the unwinder wanders.
|
||||
|
||||
Two ways to get at it, both gated:
|
||||
|
||||
| Route | What | Gate |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **perf branch stacks** | `perf record -b`/`-j any`; on arm64 kernels with BRBE support (6.1-era merges; `inferred`) the branch-stack samples are hardware-fed by BRBE | kernel with BRBE perf support; probe `perf record -j any -o /dev/null -- true` |
|
||||
| **crash-time read** | your own tracer (ptrace stop at the fatal signal, or a kernel-side module) reads the BRBE records before the process is reaped | kernel exposure of the records (`unverified` — the registers are EL1-accessed; a KPM-side reader belongs to `references/kernel-event-injection.md`) |
|
||||
|
||||
Use it when: the tombstone's backtrace is the thing you do not trust (`scripts/native_crash.py`
|
||||
prints the stack split by owner — when the frames sit in wrong modules or anonymous regions,
|
||||
that is the signal); the crash is inside flattened/virtualized code whose stack is decorative;
|
||||
or the death is a deliberate fault (`references/native-tamper-and-suicide.md`) and the branch
|
||||
records name the site that jumped to it. On hardware without BRBE, the honest fallback is the
|
||||
ETE aux buffer: stop the process at the crash (never let it die), and read the tail of the
|
||||
trace — same answer, more plumbing, gates in `references/ete-diff-tracing.md` §2 The five
|
||||
gates.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. The crash loop: three sources, one order of asking
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Tombstone/logcat first** — `scripts/native_crash.py`: signal, fault address, registers,
|
||||
frames split app-vs-system, and the arranged-fault flag. Cheap, always available.
|
||||
2. **If the stack is not trustworthy** — branch records (BRBE if the gate opens; ETE tail
|
||||
otherwise). This is the *real* control flow, and it survives obfuscation by construction.
|
||||
3. **Then symbolize everything** — every PC from 1 or 2 through
|
||||
`scripts/trace_addr2sym.py`, with the maps pulled **in the same process lifetime**:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/trace_addr2sym.py --hits hwwatch_hits.log --maps maps.txt --elf liba.so
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/trace_addr2sym.py --elf liba.so --addrs 0x7b20001234c0 --base 0x7b2000000000
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/trace_addr2sym.py --trace vm_trace.log --mod libvm.so --elf libvm.so
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The offset-space rules that decide whether the number you paste into IDA is right (vaddr vs
|
||||
file offset, `p_vaddr != p_offset` payloads) are stated once, in the tool's header — read them
|
||||
before distrusting a symbol.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. What this adds to the deobfuscation routes
|
||||
|
||||
- **OLLVM**: SPE finds the arithmetic that touches key material without a trace
|
||||
(`references/native-dbi-and-deobfuscation.md` §1's table, data-flow half); BRBE/ETE-tail
|
||||
recover the real path into a flattened function that crashes — the state machine's taken
|
||||
states, read from hardware, no unwinder.
|
||||
- **VMP/xvmp-class**: SPE answers "which handler sequence touches the argument slots" when
|
||||
the bytecode is opaque (`vm_exec`'s boxed arguments live in a plain array —
|
||||
`scripts/vm_handler_slice.py`'s header records where); a crash inside the interpreter
|
||||
keeps its branch records, so the fatal guest opcode is identifiable from the last
|
||||
handler segment.
|
||||
- **Anti-debug/anti-hook inserts**: a deliberate `svc`-based check (the Hikari-family
|
||||
AntiDebugging pass injects inline-assembly syscalls with randomized immediate fields on
|
||||
Darwin targets, and links precompiled anti-debug IR elsewhere — source-read, `observed`
|
||||
text / `inferred` behaviour) is invisible to byte-signature scans precisely because the
|
||||
fields are random. Hardware-level observation does not care: ETE shows the branch into
|
||||
and back out of the check; a breakpoint at the *semantic* site (the `svc` itself,
|
||||
located by `scripts/svc_scan.py`) beats a signature by construction.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Failure modes
|
||||
|
||||
- **`arm_spe_0` absent from `/sys/bus/event_source/devices/`** — kernel without
|
||||
`CONFIG_ARM_SPE_PMU` or a core without FEAT_SPE (pre-ARMv8.2): closed gate, one line,
|
||||
move on; the watchpoint route still exists if you can name the address.
|
||||
- **`perf record -j any` on arm64 returns samples with empty branch stacks** — the kernel
|
||||
took the software path (no BRBE backend); the records are call-chain-ish, not
|
||||
hardware branch pairs. Check `perf report`'s branch-stack content on a known-hot control
|
||||
flow before trusting a negative.
|
||||
- **SPE shows nothing at an address you know is touched** — sampling missed it. Lower the
|
||||
interval (more samples, more overhead), or graduate to a watchpoint for that one address.
|
||||
- **Symbolization disagrees with the disassembler** — the offset space was wrong, not the
|
||||
tool: re-read the header's vaddr/file-offset rules, check `--offs-are-file`, and confirm
|
||||
the module's load base from the same process lifetime. A runtime-materialized library
|
||||
(lib_map flags those) has a base that never appears in any APK.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Hand-offs
|
||||
|
||||
- Full-path capture, divergence diffs → `references/ete-diff-tracing.md`.
|
||||
- Single-address precision, zero code modification → `references/hardware-watchpoints.md`.
|
||||
- Reading BRBE from a kernel module, crash-time record reads →
|
||||
`references/kernel-event-injection.md`.
|
||||
- Triage of the crash itself (signal, fault, arranged-fault) →
|
||||
`references/native-tamper-and-suicide.md`, `scripts/native_crash.py`.

# Hardware watchpoints — observing memory without touching the code
|
||||
|
||||
Load this when you need to know **who writes or reads a memory location**, and every
|
||||
in-process tool you have modifies the thing it observes: an inline hook is caught by the
|
||||
library's own page checksum, a Stalker follow rewrites the code it traces, and the target
|
||||
dies before your hook exists. An arm64 hardware watchpoint compares every load/store
|
||||
address **in silicon** and traps on match: no code byte changes, no thread appears, no
|
||||
mapping is added. This file owns the mechanism, its honest stealth ledger, the traps, and
|
||||
the procedure; `scripts/hw_watch.py` is the tool; `references/ete-diff-tracing.md` owns
|
||||
full-path tracing, and `references/kernel-event-injection.md` owns the ptrace-free delivery.
|
||||
|
||||
**Claim strength.** The WCR/BCR encoders and the emitted helper are host-tested, and the
|
||||
helper **compiles clean as a static aarch64 ELF** (cross gcc 16.2, `-static`) — `observed`
|
||||
on the host. **No watchpoint has been armed on a device by this repository's passes** — the
|
||||
ptrace dance follows the kernel ABI (arm64 `NT_ARM_HW_WATCH`/`NT_ARM_HW_BREAK` regsets,
|
||||
`TRAP_HWBKPT` siginfo) and is `unverified` until the control run below passes on your
|
||||
device. Slots, capacities and per-thread semantics are ARM DDI 0487 / kernel
|
||||
`arch/arm64/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c` facts — `inferred` from documented interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. The stealth ledger — read it before choosing this route
|
||||
|
||||
| delivery | code modified | foreign thread/mapping | `TracerPid` | survives page checksums | per-hit cost |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| inline hook (Frida `Interceptor`) | yes | no | no | **no — caught by construction** | ~none |
|
||||
| Stalker follow | yes (DBI copy) | yes (agent + code cache) | no | no | large constant |
|
||||
| **ptrace hardware watchpoint** (this file) | **no** | **no** | **yes — visible** | **yes** | near-zero |
|
||||
| kernel-armed hardware watchpoint (`kernel-event-injection.md`) | no | no | **no** | yes | near-zero |
|
||||
|
||||
Two conclusions follow, and both are instructions: a watchpoint is the answer to
|
||||
*self-checksumming* code (there is nothing in the image to find), and it is **not** an
|
||||
answer to a target that reads `TracerPid` over a raw `svc` — for that, the kernel route
|
||||
exists, with its own gate. Never present the ptrace route as invisible; it is invisible to
|
||||
the process image, not to `/proc`.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. The mechanism, in the size that matters
|
||||
|
||||
Each arm64 core carries a small bank of debug comparators — typically **6 breakpoints
|
||||
(instruction addresses) and 4 watchpoints (data addresses)**; the kernel reports the true
|
||||
counts and `scripts/hw_watch.py plan`'s device-side counterpart reads them
|
||||
(`dbg_info & 0xff` from the `NT_ARM_HW_WATCH` regset). Three hardware rules decide what is
|
||||
expressible:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **A watchpoint covers at most 8 bytes, inside one aligned 8-byte window** (byte-select
|
||||
field `BAS`). A watch at `0x...4` with length 8 crosses the window and needs two slots.
|
||||
`hw_watch.py plan` refuses it locally instead of letting the device.
|
||||
2. **Execution breakpoints need a 4-byte-aligned PC** (A64 instruction width), and matching
|
||||
uses the whole address.
|
||||
3. **Slots are per-thread.** A process with N threads needs the watchpoint armed N times,
|
||||
and a thread created later runs unarmed until your tracer catches its first stop — which
|
||||
is why the emitted helper seizes with `PTRACE_O_TRACECLONE` and arms every new thread at
|
||||
birth.
|
||||
|
||||
The two canonical encodings (unit-tested; everything else is a variation):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
watch 8 bytes, load+store, EL0 : WCR = 0x1FFD (BAS=0xff, LSC=both, PAC=EL0, E=1)
|
||||
break, address match, EL0 : BCR = 0x3F05 (BAS all-ones, PMC=EL0, BT=unlinked, E=1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Delivery is the standard ptrace regset ABI — `PTRACE_SEIZE` + `PTRACE_INTERRUPT` every
|
||||
thread, `PTRACE_SETREGSET` with `NT_ARM_HW_WATCH`/`NT_ARM_HW_BREAK`, `PTRACE_CONT`, then
|
||||
`waitpid` for a `SIGTRAP` whose `si_code == TRAP_HWBKPT (4)` and whose `si_addr` is the
|
||||
data address that matched. On hit you read `NT_PRSTATUS` for the register file. To *continue*
|
||||
from an execution breakpoint you must disable the slot, `PTRACE_SINGLESTEP`, re-enable —
|
||||
without that dance the trap re-fires on the same PC forever.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Procedure
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Plan on the host** — validate alignment and see the exact encodings:
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
**2. Emit the helper** (self-contained C; NDK clang on the host, or Termux clang on the
|
||||
device — build commands are in the generated README):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/hw_watch.py emit --out work/hwwatch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Gates, then the control run — a watchpoint that has never fired is not armed.** Pick a
|
||||
global you can touch on demand (a flag the app exposes, or a location you write through
|
||||
`/proc/<pid>/mem` from the host as root) and confirm one `HIT` arrives with a sensible PC
|
||||
**before** you spend the window on the real address. The measured Stalker lesson transfers
|
||||
exactly: zero events from a correctly-installed instrument is a real failure mode
|
||||
(`references/native-dbi-and-deobfuscation.md` §6 Failure modes), and the only defence is a
|
||||
producer you have already seen fire.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/hw_watch.py run --pkg <PKG> --addr 0x... --len 8 --access rw --seconds 20
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/hw_watch.py decode --hits hwwatch_hits.log --maps maps.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`decode` turns each hit's PC into `module+offset` given a `/proc/<pid>/maps` file (pull it
|
||||
in the same process lifetime — bases move with ASLR) or a `lib_map.py` JSON.
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Read the hits the way a trace taught you to**: a hit's PC sequence is caller evidence;
|
||||
run it through `scripts/trace_diff.py reduce` if you collected several, and correlate with
|
||||
`lib_map.py` for which library actually owns the address.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Where a watchpoint beats a hook — the recipes
|
||||
|
||||
- **The key that never appears in a readable form.** OLLVM-substituted and VM-wrapped crypto
|
||||
still materialises plaintext in a buffer before use. Watch the buffer you identified
|
||||
statically (the JNI argument location, the `memcpy` destination) with `--access w`: the
|
||||
PC that fills it is the decryptor, obfuscation irrelevant — control flow does not matter
|
||||
to a comparator.
|
||||
- **The state variable of a flattened dispatcher.** Family-sensitive, and the difference is
|
||||
real (read from two open implementations — Hikari vs Pluto flattening — in
|
||||
`references/ete-diff-tracing.md` §5 What the obfuscator actually built — read from two
|
||||
open implementations): in the Hikari shape the state is a frame-resident slot written
|
||||
through an indirect pointer — watch the slot and each `HIT` PC is a real block's tail,
|
||||
with the written (permuted) state value readable afterwards. In the Pluto shape the state
|
||||
is stored **rolling-XOR encoded**: memory only ever holds noise, so the recipe is a
|
||||
breakpoint one instruction after the dispatch decode (`switchCond = enc ^ key`) and the
|
||||
condition register is read at the trap, not from memory. If you cannot tell which family
|
||||
you have, the block-sequence routes (ETE diff, `scripts/vm_handler_slice.py`) never need
|
||||
the decoded value at all. That decoding is half of the CFG recovery in
|
||||
`references/native-dbi-and-deobfuscation.md` §5.
|
||||
- **The self-modifying / self-decrypting region.** Watch the code page itself with
|
||||
`--access x`-adjacent breakpoints on entry and `--access w` on the page: the PC that
|
||||
writes executable memory is the unpacker, whatever the section headers claim.
|
||||
- **"Does this check even read my patch?"** Watch the patched location: zero reads during a
|
||||
run that enforces the old behaviour is direct evidence the check reads something else —
|
||||
cheaper than a full trace and answerable in one window.
|
||||
|
||||
A stack slot cannot be watched this way if the frame moves between runs; watch the *caller's*
|
||||
stable global or the buffer the function receives instead. The 8-byte window limit means
|
||||
large structs need either the one field that matters or several slots.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Failure modes and traps
|
||||
|
||||
- **`READY ... watch_slots=0`** — the kernel masked hardware debug (some vendor kernels
|
||||
reserve the slots for their own telemetry, or the SoC reports none). That is a closed
|
||||
gate; record it and move to `references/kernel-event-injection.md` or the ETE route.
|
||||
- **Only the arming thread traps.** The watchpoint is per-thread: if you armed one tid and
|
||||
the work happens on another, you get silence, not an error. The helper arms every thread,
|
||||
but check the `ARM tid=` lines against `ls /proc/<pid>/task` before trusting a quiet run.
|
||||
- **A second tracer wins or you break one.** Only one tracer is allowed; if frida is
|
||||
attached, `PTRACE_SEIZE` fails with `EPERM`, and vice versa. Detach everything else first.
|
||||
- **Swallowed signals.** A naive loop that resumes with `PTRACE_CONT(tid, 0, 0)` drops the
|
||||
target's own signals (its crash handlers, its SIGALRMs) and the app misbehaves in ways you
|
||||
will blame on the target. The helper forwards non-debug `SIGTRAP`s and other signals, and
|
||||
uses `PTRACE_LISTEN` for group stops; if you write your own loop, this is the part to get
|
||||
right, not the encodings.
|
||||
- **Root, and only root.** `ptrace` of an app process from the shell needs `su`; the helper
|
||||
checks and says so.
|
||||
- **Detach cleanly or leave the target traced forever**: slots cleared, every tid detached.
|
||||
The helper does this on every exit path including the caps; a `kill -9` of the helper
|
||||
leaves `PTRACE_O_EXITKILL` to do the damage — do not do that.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Hand-offs
|
||||
|
||||
- Full execution paths, not single addresses → `references/ete-diff-tracing.md`.
|
||||
- `TracerPid` must stay 0 → `references/kernel-event-injection.md` (same hardware, armed
|
||||
from the kernel, no tracer relationship).
|
||||
- You only need to *call* the routine you located → `references/emulation-and-rpc.md`.
|
||||
- The watchpoint found the site and you must neutralise a terminate path → the rules in
|
||||
`references/native-tamper-and-suicide.md` apply unchanged.

## Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] `plan` accepted the address locally (no window crossing, PC aligned)
|
||||
- [ ] `emit` + build succeeded; helper runs and prints `READY` with slots > 0
|
||||
- [ ] **Control run passed**: one deliberate touch produced one `HIT` with a sane PC
|
||||
- [ ] maps pulled from the same process lifetime; `decode` resolves module+offset
|
||||
- [ ] Every `ARM tid=` line accounted for against `/proc/<pid>/task`
|
||||
- [ ] No other tracer (frida, lldb) attached during the window
|
||||
- [ ] Strength labels on every conclusion: encoders `observed` (host), device behaviour
|
||||
`unverified` until your control run, kernel-armed route `unverified` until compiled

generator. **No kernel-side file this scaffold emits has been compiled or loaded anywhere,

by anyone in this repository's passes** — every generated file says so in its own header,
|
||||
and the register-rewrite action is explicitly labelled experimental. The API surface
|
||||
(`register_user_hw_breakpoint` / `perf_event_create_kernel_counter`,
|
||||
`PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT` with `bp_type`/`bp_addr`/`bp_len`) is the kernel's documented
|
||||
GPL-exported interface —
|
||||
`inferred` as a mechanism, `unverified` as a route until a device with the matching gate
|
||||
compiles and loads it.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. The primitive map — what each route can actually do
|
||||
|
||||
| primitive | KPM (KernelPatch) | out-of-tree LKM | eBPF | Zygisk module |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| hardware watchpoint on the target task, hit logged to dmesg | yes (via perf bp layer, symbols resolved at load) | yes (`register_user_hw_breakpoint`, GPL-exported) | **no** — no perf breakpoint creation from BPF | no |
|
||||
| rewrite a register at the trap (flip a branch decision, no code change) | template action, **experimental** | template action, **experimental** | no | no |
|
||||
| read/write the target's memory from outside it | yes | yes (`access_process_vm`) | read via helpers, write rarely | in-process only (it *is* the process) |
|
||||
| force a syscall return value | yes — see `kernelsu_syscall_mask.py` | yes (syscall table / inline hooks) | observe; rewrite only for `ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION` targets | no (wrong layer) |
|
||||
| deliver a signal at a chosen moment | yes | yes | yes | in-process |
|
||||
| visible to the target (`TracerPid`, foreign threads, code deltas) | **none** | **none** | **none** | in-process, pre-init_array |
|
||||
|
||||
Read the table as instructions: the **only** route that observes *and* alters with zero
|
||||
in-process footprint is a kernel module; eBPF is an observer; Zygisk is early *inside* the
|
||||
process — the right answer for init_array-early checks
|
||||
(`references/kernel-and-environment-hardening.md` §4 Kernel-level interception — the map,
|
||||
and the version gate), not for invisible watchpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. The recipes — "wish-mode", assembled from the other two files
|
||||
|
||||
These are compositions, not new mechanisms. Each names its deliverable and its fallback,
|
||||
because a kernel route is never the first thing to try — it is what you escalate to when
|
||||
the cheaper route's ledger (`references/hardware-watchpoints.md` §1 The stealth ledger)
|
||||
says the target will see you.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recipe 1 — "give me the plaintext key, whatever wraps the cipher."**
|
||||
Watch the buffer the crypto fills, kernel-armed so the RASP never notices, and read the
|
||||
buffer at the hit. Steps: locate the buffer statically (`svc_scan.py`, decompiler) →
|
||||
`kernel_instrument_scaffold.py generate --pid <PID> --watch w:<ADDR>:8:w` → load on a
|
||||
device with the KPM/LKM gate closed → `dmesg` gives the filling PC → at the next hit read
|
||||
the buffer (`/proc/<pid>/mem` from root outside the process is enough; no injection needed).
|
||||
*Fallback:* ptrace watchpoint when `TracerPid` is not read by the target — cheaper, same hit.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recipe 2 — "make the check pass without changing one byte."**
|
||||
The differential (`references/ete-diff-tracing.md` §4) names the branch that first consumes
|
||||
the valid/invalid difference. Instead of patching that branch (which the page checksum
|
||||
watches), arm an execution breakpoint at its PC from the kernel and rewrite the condition
|
||||
register at the trap: the decision flips, the image stays byte-identical.
|
||||
`generate --break b:<PC> --set-reg x0=0x1`. *This is the experimental action* — the
|
||||
register rewrite in a perf overflow callback was never run by this repository; validate on
|
||||
a device you can reboot, and prefer patching the code when the checksum threat model does
|
||||
not actually include self-verification of that page.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recipe 3 — "trace it, but leave TracerPid alone."**
|
||||
ETE capture needs no ptrace at all (it is perf + aux buffers), and kernel watchpoints need
|
||||
none either — so the entire observation half of this toolkit composes into a zero-ptrace
|
||||
session: `ete_capture.py capture` for paths, kernel watchpoints for addresses, dmesg as the
|
||||
event bus. What remains visible is the perf events themselves (a determined kernel-state
|
||||
reader can enumerate them) — say so rather than claiming true invisibility.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. The scaffold and its gates
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/kernel_instrument_scaffold.py gates
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/kernel_instrument_scaffold.py generate \
|
||||
--out work/kwatch --pid <PID> --watch w:0x7b2000123450:8:w --break b:0x7b20001234c0 --set-reg x0=0x1
|
||||
python skills/apk-reverse/scripts/kernel_instrument_scaffold.py verify --dir work/kwatch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The gates are the §4a table's: **KPM** needs a KernelPatch-patched boot image plus
|
||||
`aarch64-none-elf-gcc`; **LKM** needs kernel source matching the exact vermagic; the
|
||||
**userspace module** is an honest carrier that can arm nothing. One gate is new and belongs
|
||||
to this file: the kernel's **perf breakpoint layer must own the debug registers**
|
||||
(`CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS`); if it is compiled out, `register_user_hw_breakpoint` does
|
||||
not exist and both templates close — check
|
||||
`ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/breakpoint` on the
|
||||
device. Design notes carried in the generated files, all load-bearing: the callback runs
|
||||
on **every hit, system-wide** — the generated template prints **unfiltered** on entry, so
|
||||
adding a cheap first-statement filter is a required change before you rely on any hit
|
||||
(the same lesson the syscall-mask template learned publicly); symbols in a KPM are
|
||||
declared without `extern` or the loader rejects the module; and a slot that fails to arm
|
||||
is logged, never silently skipped.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. When to stop — the same stop rules, extended one row
|
||||
|
||||
Every rule of `references/kernel-and-environment-hardening.md` §7 When to stop escalating —
|
||||
do not counter-escalate a userspace check with kernel development
|
||||
applies verbatim, plus this file's own:
|
||||
|
||||
| Situation | Do this | Not this |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| The check sees `TracerPid` but not perf/kernel state | kernel watchpoint + ETE, zero ptrace | patching the boot image to hide one field |
|
||||
| The decision site is known and the page is not self-verified | byte patch (`references/native-and-so.md`) | kernel register rewrite |
|
||||
| You want a kernel route on a 4.14/Magisk device | record the closed gate, use ptrace watchpoint or Zygisk | "just build a quick module" |
|
||||
| The register rewrite did not take effect | report it — experimental means the first run is a measurement | a second, larger rewrite from the same unverified template |
|
||||
|
||||
## Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Cheaper route's ledger consulted first (hardware-watchpoints §1); kernel chosen
|
||||
because the target's detection actually demands it, not because it is stronger
|
||||
- [ ] `gates` run; KPM/LKM/perf-bp gates answered for **this** device, closed ones recorded
|
||||
- [ ] Watch specs passed `plan`-style validation at generation (window, alignment)
|
||||
- [ ] Control: one deliberate touch on a watched global produces one dmesg line before the
|
||||
real window — an unverified template owes this before any hit is trusted
|
||||
- [ ] Callback filter first, no sleeping, `printk` only (plus the explicitly-labelled
|
||||
experimental register action, only on a device you can reboot)
|
||||
- [ ] Every kernel file still carries its `NOT COMPILED AND NOT LOADED` banner after your
|
||||
edits (`verify --dir`), or the banner is replaced by your own measurement
|
||||
- [ ] Deliverable sentence re-read: a kernel-route result is a **rooted-device result**,
|
||||
labelled a fallback unless the task asked for exactly that

"""ete_capture.py -- arm64 hardware execution tracing (CoreSight ETE) capture, with gates first.
|
||||
|
||||
What this is
|
||||
------------
|
||||
Modern arm64 cores (ARMv8.4+ era: Cortex-A78/X1/A710/X2 and later, all ARMv9 big
|
||||
cores) carry **ETE**, a trace unit that streams executed-branch/instruction
|
||||
records off-core in hardware, and **TRBE**, a per-CPU buffer that collects them
|
||||
*self-hosted* -- no debugger, no JTAG, no code modification, no DBI code cache.
|
||||
The Linux perf subsystem exposes it as the `cs_etm` PMU: a per-thread trace
|
||||
recorded with `perf record -e cs_etm//u --per-thread`, decoded on the host or
|
||||
device by perf built against OpenCSD. `references/ete-diff-tracing.md` owns the
|
||||
method (and the pairing with `scripts/trace_diff.py`); this script owns the
|
||||
gates, the recipe and the capture.
|
||||
|
||||
Why the gates come first
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
The ETE route is closed on most devices people actually own, and every closed
|
||||
gate fails *silently* if you skip it: an old kernel reports no cs_etm PMU; a
|
||||
kernel with coresight but no TRBE cannot do per-thread buffers; a perf without
|
||||
OpenCSD records an aux area it cannot decode; SELinux can deny perf_event_open
|
||||
even to root. Probing costs one command per gate. Guessing costs an afternoon.
|
||||
|
||||
gate expected check
|
||||
kernel era >= 5.10 for ETE/TRBE drivers uname -r
|
||||
coresight devices eteN / trbeN in sysfs ls /sys/bus/coresight/devices
|
||||
cs_etm PMU dir exists ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cs_etm
|
||||
perf with CORESIGHT perf lists cs_etm perf list | grep cs_etm
|
||||
permission a control record decodes perf record -e cs_etm//u --per-thread -- true
|
||||
|
||||
Measured vs unverified
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
`gates` and `recipe` run on this host (gates probes adb and prints the
|
||||
device-side plan; `capture` requires a device and exits 3 without one --
|
||||
contract-tested in tests/cli). **No ETE trace has been captured or decoded by
|
||||
this repository's passes**: no reference device here has coresight compiled in
|
||||
(reference kernel 4.14.186). The command shapes follow the kernel's own
|
||||
tools/perf CoreSight documentation and the OpenCSD project docs -- treat them
|
||||
as the documented upstream interface, and validate with the control record
|
||||
before trusting a real capture.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples
|
||||
python ete_capture.py gates
|
||||
python ete_capture.py gates --device # also runs the device-side probes
|
||||
python ete_capture.py recipe
|
||||
python ete_capture.py capture --pid 12345 --seconds 10 --out perf.data
|
||||
python ete_capture.py capture --pid 12345 --control # validation run first

|

A. On-device (Termux, no cross toolchain):
|
||||
pkg install clang make cmake git python
|
||||
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Linaro/OpenCSD.git && cd OpenCSD
|
||||
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build -j
|
||||
# then the kernel's tools/perf against it:
|
||||
git clone --depth 1 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
|
||||
cd linux/tools/perf && make CORESIGHT=1 \\
|

EXTLIBS=-l$(pwd)/../../OpenCSD/build/lib/libopencsd \\
|
||||
O=~/perf-build WERROR=0
|
||||
~/perf-build/perf record -e cs_etm//u --per-thread -p <PID>
|
||||
|
||||
B. Cross (host aarch64 toolchain): same two sources, same CORESIGHT=1, with
|
||||
CROSS_COMPILE=<prefix> and the OpenCSD built for aarch64 first. Static-link
|
||||
the result so it drops onto /data/local/tmp as one file.
|
||||
|
||||
C. Sanity checks once built (run these in order, read each before continuing):
|
||||
perf list | grep cs_etm # nothing -> no PMU visibility
|
||||
perf record -e cs_etm//u --per-thread -o ctl.data -- true
|
||||
perf report -i ctl.data -D | head # CoreSight packets -> decode works
|
||||
The control record is not optional: it is the only thing that separates a
|
||||
closed gate from a capture that looks fine and decodes to nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
Capture shape (TRBE per-thread):
|
||||
perf record -e cs_etm//u --per-thread -p <PID> -o perf.data -- sleep <S>
|
||||
Shared sink (no TRBE; system-wide-ish, cannot --per-thread):
|
||||
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -C <CPU> -o perf.data -- sleep <S>
|
||||
Decode to an address stream for scripts/trace_diff.py:
|
||||
perf script -i perf.data # synthesized instruction/branch events
|
||||
# then feed the address-bearing lines straight to:

"""hw_watch.py -- invisible memory watchpoints and execution breakpoints on arm64 Android.
|
||||
|
||||
What this is, and the honest stealth ledger
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
An arm64 core carries a small number of *hardware* debug slots (typically 6
|
||||
breakpoints, 4 watchpoints). A watchpoint compares the effective data address of
|
||||
every load/store the core executes -- in silicon, before the instruction
|
||||
retires -- and traps to the kernel when it matches. Nothing about the target's
|
||||
code or memory changes: no inline patch, no trampoline, no injected thread, no
|
||||
foreign mapping, no DBI code cache. A library that checksums its own pages,
|
||||
scans for hooks, or counts threads finds nothing, because there is nothing to
|
||||
find in its process image.
|
||||
|
||||
The one thing a ptrace-based watchpoint *does* leave is ``TracerPid`` in
|
||||
``/proc/<pid>/status``: the tracer relationship is a kernel fact, and this tool
|
||||
does not hide it. The ledger, in full:
|
||||
|
||||
| delivery | code modified | foreign thread/mapping | TracerPid | survives page checksums |
|
||||
|---------------------|---------------|------------------------|-----------|-------------------------|
|
||||
| inline hook | yes | no | no | NO -- caught by design |
|
||||
| Frida Stalker | yes (copy) | yes (agent + cache) | no | no |
|
||||
| ptrace hw watchpoint| NO | no | YES | yes |
|
||||
| kernel hw watchpoint| NO | no | no | yes (kernel-event-injection.md) |
|
||||
|
||||
Limits that decide whether the tool fits the question: 8-byte maximum per
|
||||
watchpoint, byte-select inside one aligned 8-byte window only, per-thread slots
|
||||
(every thread must be armed, new threads arrive unarmed until caught), and the
|
||||
process must be ptraceable at all (root; nobody else may already be tracing it).
|
||||
|
||||
What runs where
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
``plan`` pure host: encode DBGWCR/DBGBCR values for an address and check the
|
||||
alignment rules bite before anything touches a device.
|
||||
``emit`` pure host: write the self-contained on-device helper (C, one file,
|
||||
no dependency beyond bionic).
|
||||
``gates`` host probe: is adb here, is an arm64 compiler here -- plus the exact
|
||||
one-liners to run on the device to close the device-side gates.
|
||||
``run`` device: build (NDK clang by default, Termux clang on request), push,
|
||||
run the helper as root, stream hits to a log.
|
||||
``decode`` pure host: turn a hit log into module+offset, given a maps file.
|
||||
|
||||
Measured vs unverified
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
The encoders and the plan/emit/decode paths are host-tested
|
||||
(tests/unit/test_hw_watch.py), and the emitted helper **compiles clean as a
|
||||
static aarch64 ELF** on a cross toolchain (observed: gcc 16.2, `-static`, zero
|
||||
errors). **No watchpoint has been armed on a device by this repository's
|
||||
passes** -- the ptrace dance, the slot capacity probe and the clone-catch path
|
||||
follow the kernel ABI (arch/arm64 ptrace + hw_breakpoint) and must be validated
|
||||
on your device with the control procedure in references/hardware-watchpoints.md
|
||||
before any hit is trusted.
|
||||

||||

HELPER_README = """# hwwatch helper (generated)
|

|

Built from `hw_watch.py emit`. Two ways to build it:
|
||||
|
||||
NDK (host build, static):
|
||||
|
||||
<ndk>/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/<host>/bin/aarch64-linux-android24-clang \\
|
||||
-O2 -static -o hwwatch hwwatch_helper.c
|
||||
|
||||
Termux (on-device build):
|
||||
|
||||
pkg install clang
|
||||
clang -O2 -static -o hwwatch hwwatch_helper.c
|
||||
|
||||
Run as root, one spec per slot:
|
||||
|
||||
su -c '/data/local/tmp/hwwatch <pid> w:0x7b2000123456:8:rw b:0x7b20001234c0 --seconds 20'
|
||||
|
||||
Checks before trusting any hit (references/hardware-watchpoints.md):
|
||||
1. READY reports watch_slots/break_slots > 0 (0 means the kernel masked hw debug).
|
||||
2. Run the control: watch a global you can touch on demand, confirm a HIT arrives.
|
||||
3. TracerPid will be non-zero while this runs -- that is the ptrace route's
|
||||
one visible artifact, and the kernel route exists for when that matters.
|
||||
|
||||
This helper is a template: its encodings are host-unit-tested, its device
|
||||
behaviour was not measured by this repository.

"""kernel_instrument_scaffold.py -- generate a kernel-side instrumentation scaffold:
|
||||
invisible watchpoints and event injection from a driver.
|
||||
|
||||
What "event injection" means here, and what this generates
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
The escalation this scaffold exists for: you want to observe or alter a target
|
||||
process with **no ptrace** (so `TracerPid` stays 0), **no injected thread**,
|
||||
**no code modification** (so page checksums stay clean) and **no DBI cache**.
|
||||
Only a kernel-side driver can do all four at once, because the hardware debug
|
||||
registers can be programmed on the target's behalf from the kernel, and the
|
||||
overflow callback runs with the interrupted user context's `pt_regs` in hand:
|
||||
|
||||
watch(addr,len,access) -> a hardware watchpoint armed on the target task
|
||||
through the kernel perf/breakpoint API; the
|
||||
callback logs pc + data address (dmesg)
|
||||
break(pc) + set-reg -> an execution breakpoint whose callback rewrites a
|
||||
register in the interrupted frame: flip a branch
|
||||
decision without touching one byte of code
|
||||
read/write memory -> `access_process_vm` on the target from the driver
|
||||
(patch data, dump buffers), no process_vm_* syscalls
|
||||
|
||||
Three artifacts, one per route, each with its gate (all from
|
||||
`references/kernel-and-environment-hardening.md` §4a):
|
||||
|
||||
kpm KernelPatch/APatch KPM -- needs a KernelPatch-patched boot image
|
||||
plus a bare-metal ARM64 toolchain (aarch64-none-elf-gcc, NOT NDK)
|
||||
lkm out-of-tree module -- needs kernel source matching the device's
|
||||
exact vermagic, and on >= 5.7 a way to resolve unexported symbols
|
||||
userspace a Magisk/KernelSU-format module skeleton -- an honest carrier for
|
||||
the config and the install path; it CANNOT itself arm a watchpoint
|
||||
on another process, and says so in its own README
|
||||
|
||||
Measured vs unverified
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
`gates`, `generate` and `verify` run on the host
|
||||
(docs/tool-verification/EXTENSION-kernel-instrument.md). **No kernel-side file
|
||||
has been compiled or loaded anywhere, by anyone in this repository's passes.**
|
||||
Every generated kernel file says so in its own header. The register-rewrite
|
||||
action is the most experimental part of the design: rewriting user pt_regs in a
|
||||
perf overflow callback is mechanically what a ptrace stop does, but this
|
||||
repository never ran it, and on some paths the callback runs with interrupts
|
||||
disabled where you must not sleep. Treat the template as a starting point that
|
||||
removes the blank page, never as a weapon that has been fired.

|

*
|
||||
* Design notes that are load-bearing:
|
||||
* - The arm64 debug registers are owned by the kernel perf/breakpoint
|
||||
* layer. A KPM does not poke DBGWVR/DBGWCR directly (it cannot, from
|
||||
* kernel C code safely); it asks perf to create a breakpoint event on the
|
||||
* target task, and perf programs the slots at context switch.
|
||||
* - The overflow callback receives the interrupted context's pt_regs. That
|
||||
* is where the "event injection" half lives: rewriting regs->regs[n]
|
||||
* changes what the userspace instruction stream sees after the trap.
|
||||
* This is mechanically what a ptrace stop does -- but it was never run
|
||||
* here, and on some interrupt contexts you must not sleep or allocate.
|
||||
* LOGGING IS SAFE; REGISTER REWRITING IS EXPERIMENTAL.
|
||||
* - TracerPid stays 0: no ptrace relationship is ever created.

"""trace_addr2sym.py -- turn a stream of runtime addresses into symbols and static offsets.
|
||||
|
||||
What question this answers
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
Every hardware-layer tool in this skill ends with a list of addresses: `hw_watch.py` hits,
|
||||
ETE/SPE block streams, `trace_diff.py` divergences, BRBE branch records. An address is not a
|
||||
finding until it names **which library, which function, which static offset** -- the last part
|
||||
being what you paste into IDA/Ghidra, where ASLR never existed. This script closes that loop
|
||||
with a zero-dependency ELF64 reader (no pyelftools, no readelf): PT_LOAD segments for
|
||||
runtime-address -> vaddr -> file-offset conversion, `.dynsym` first then `.symtab`, and a
|
||||
stripped-library fallback that still gives section + static offsets.
|
||||
|
||||
PIE and the two offset spaces, stated once
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
- **runtime address** = what the trace/hit carries (ASLR-affected)
|
||||
- **vaddr** = runtime - load_bias, where load_bias is derived from the module's
|
||||
lowest mapping aligned against its PT_LOAD (bias = map_start - (map_foff -
|
||||
p_offset) - p_vaddr): it equals the mapping base exactly when the lowest
|
||||
PT_LOAD has p_vaddr 0, the normal PIE case (`lib_map.py`/maps give you this)
|
||||
- **file offset** = what the disassembler wants; vaddr -> file goes through PT_LOAD again,
|
||||
and it is **not** always the identity: p_vaddr != p_offset happens in hand-linked and
|
||||
self-decrypting payloads, and silently wrong offsets are exactly the failure this tool
|
||||
exists to prevent.
|
||||
- `mod+0xoff` keys (stalker logs, trace_diff output) are runtime - base == vaddr under the
|
||||
same assumption; use `--trace --mod <name> --elf <path>` for that input shape.
|
||||
|
||||
Measured vs unverified: the ELF walker is host-tested against a real cross-compiled
|
||||
aarch64 shared library (gcc, `.dynsym` + `.symtab`) and against a hand-built minimal ELF
|
||||
(tests/unit/test_trace_addr2sym.py) -- `observed`. Nothing here touches a device.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

"""trace_diff.py -- differential execution-trace reduction: two runs, one answer.
|
||||
|
||||
What question this answers
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
Not "what executed" but "**where did run A stop behaving like run B**". You run
|
||||
the same operation twice with exactly one input changed -- the password's last
|
||||
character, license valid versus invalid, key 0x00... versus key 0xff... -- and
|
||||
diff the two execution traces. Every common block is machinery; every divergent
|
||||
block is a decision that *your one-bit input difference* reached. Against OLLVM
|
||||
control-flow flattening the divergences name the dispatcher states actually
|
||||
taken; against a VM/VMP interpreter they name the handler sequence for the two
|
||||
inputs; against whitebox-style crypto they name the key-dependent branch set.
|
||||
This is the "differential" half of `references/ete-diff-tracing.md`, and it is
|
||||
producer-agnostic by design.
|
||||
|
||||
What it accepts (auto-detected, or forced with --format)
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
stalker `stalker_trace.js` logs: `BLK <seq> <mod>+0x<off>` block events
|
||||
(BB/CALL/DONE lines ignored), including logs wrapped by
|
||||
`run_probe.py` as `[host ts] [dev ts] TRACE BLK ...`.
|
||||
plain any text where each line carries an address -- the last
|
||||
whitespace token that parses as hex (`0x7f...`, `7f...`, and
|
||||
`mod+0xoff` keys kept verbatim so modules stay comparable).
|
||||
Decoded CoreSight/ETE `perf script` output fits this shape, as do
|
||||
hand-scrapped disassembly walks.
|
||||
|
||||
What it produces
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
reduce the run-length form of one trace: ordered `(block, count)` runs plus
|
||||
the execution histogram -- the same reductions `stalker_report.py`
|
||||
prints, in a form the differ consumes.
|
||||
diff an alignment of the two run-length sequences (difflib on the block
|
||||
keys): identical prefix/suffix lengths, **first divergence**, each
|
||||
divergent region with per-side counts, and the blocks unique to each
|
||||
side ranked by count. The unique-to-B list is where "what does the
|
||||
valid path do that the invalid path does not" is answered.
|
||||
|
||||
Discipline the tool does not enforce for you
|
||||
--------------------------------------------
|
||||
Same build and same address space (module+offset keys, never raw pointers,
|
||||
unless ASLR is off); same input length; same capture window; and a *pair* whose
|
||||
only difference is the input bit you chose. A diff across two builds or two
|
||||
code versions is noise, and the tool cannot tell -- garbage in, confident
|
||||
nonsense out.
|
||||
|
||||
Measured status: the parsers and the reducer/differ are host-tested on
|
||||
synthetic flattened-dispatcher fixtures (tests/unit/test_trace_diff.py). No
|
||||
ETE-produced trace has been fed to it by this repository's passes -- see
|
||||
references/ete-diff-tracing.md for the producer side and its device gates.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples
|
||||
python trace_diff.py reduce --log traceA.log
|
||||
python trace_diff.py diff --a traceA.log --b traceB.log --top 15

||||
python trace_diff.py diff --a wrong.log --b right.log --json

"""vm_handler_slice.py -- slice a VM/VMP interpreter trace into handler segments
|
||||
and recover the guest-opcode trajectory.
|
||||
|
||||
What question this answers
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
A trace of a virtualized function is a trace of the interpreter: one dispatch loop,
|
||||
executed once per guest instruction, with the guest's work hidden inside per-opcode
|
||||
handler code. Reading that trace block-by-block tells you nothing -- but **slicing it at
|
||||
dispatcher entries** turns it back into a program:
|
||||
|
||||
D h_a h_b D h_c D h_a h_b D ... (D = dispatcher, h_* = handler blocks)
|
||||
-> segment "h_a h_b" (count 2), segment "h_c" (count 1)
|
||||
-> trajectory: S(ab) S(c) S(ab) ... == the guest bytecode, one signature per opcode
|
||||
|
||||
With a handler->opcode map (see below), the trajectory becomes the guest program's
|
||||
opcode sequence: the disassembly of the VM you cannot read statically.
|
||||
|
||||
Calibration source -- an open IR-level VM, in the shape this tool expects
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
This tool's segment model is calibrated against a public LLVM-IR virtualizer
|
||||
(dpkg123/ollvm-aosp-toolchain, commits 63fec41f and 9b7cf75e, 2026-09 -- the `xvmp`
|
||||
generic pass; source facts below are read from that patch, `inferred` for runtime
|
||||
behaviour, `observed` for the source text):
|
||||
|
||||
- each virtualized function becomes a stub calling ``vm_exec(code, size, vm_args, num)``:
|
||||
the bytecode array plus a boxed-argument array live in the module, so the *inputs*
|
||||
(arguments, and any key material passed in) are observable at the ``vm_args`` array
|
||||
with a hardware watchpoint, before interpretation starts;
|
||||
- the bytecode is a little-endian stream of one-byte opcodes with two operand spaces
|
||||
(``VT_CONST`` inline constants, ``VT_SLOT`` slot references): OP_ALLOCA 0x01,

OP_CALL 0x09, OP_RET 0x0A, OP_ARITH 0x10 (19 arithmetic sub-ops), OP_PARAMMAP 0x11;
|
||||
- pointer constants are NOT inlined: they materialize through a generated dispatch
|
||||
(HandleCallTool's const/call chain, `K_Addr/K_IntBits/K_FPBits`) at first use --
|
||||
a small set of extra blocks in the trace that is *not* the main interpreter loop,
|
||||
and a high-value observation point (the returned i64 is the constant's bits);
|
||||
- an interpreter is a loop, so the dispatcher dominates the block histogram, and each
|
||||
guest opcode contributes a stable, repeating block subsequence -- which is exactly
|
||||
the signature clustering below.
|
||||
|
||||
Because that implementation's opcode table is public, `--opcode-map` can name every
|
||||
segment; for a closed VMP the same slicing still yields the trajectory, and the map
|
||||
becomes a manual labelling task over the (usually few dozen) unique segments.
|
||||
|
||||
How to build --opcode-map
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
Run once, read the segment table (each segment's first block = handler entry), and map
|
||||
handler-entry addresses to opcodes. For the open implementation above, match the entry
|
||||
block to the code generated for each `case OP_*` by disassembling the `.so` around the
|
||||
dispatch switch. Map file format: ``{"<first-block-key>": "OP_LOAD", ...}``.
|
||||
|
||||
Inputs and behaviour
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
- `--log` accepts the same grammars as `trace_diff.py` (stalker `BLK` lines, wrapped or
|
||||
not, and any address-per-line stream), by importing its parsers.
|
||||
- `--dispatcher` picks the slice boundary: `auto` (the histogram's wide-margin top --
|
||||
the same dispatcher-identification rule as `references/native-dbi-and-deobfuscation.md`
|
||||
§5 From a trace to a deobfuscated function (inferred)) or an explicit block key.
|
||||
- Segments are the block runs between dispatcher hits; identical runs get one signature
|
||||
(sha1[:10]). Blocks before the first / after the last dispatcher hit are reported as
|
||||
`preamble`/`tail`, never silently merged.
|
||||
- Diagnostics guard the two ways this goes wrong: a dispatcher that is really a spin
|
||||
loop (every segment length 1, unique-segment ratio ~1.0), and a trace that is not a
|
||||
VM at all (no dominant block; native-dbi-and-deobfuscation.md's "trace of a VM" note).
|
||||
|
||||
Measured status: host-tested on synthetic interpreter traces in the calibrated shape
|
||||
(tests/unit/test_vm_handler_slice.py). No real xvmp-hardened binary was ever traced by
|
||||
this repository -- the calibration facts are from the public source, and the first run
|
||||
against a real sample is a measurement, not a confirmation.
|
||||
|
||||
