Hi folks,
Testing impscan with zeus.vmem I have a little question about the
capabilities of impscan:
Malfind finds 2 regions with injected code as seen many times:
C:\Micha\Forensics\Volatility-2.1a>python vol.py malfind -f
D:\X-Ways-Images\zeus.vmem -p 1724
Volatile Systems Volatility Framework 2.1_rc1

Base 0x015d0000 is a "real" exe-module and impscan can detect the hooked
calls very well:
C:\Micha\Forensics\Volatility-2.1a>python vol.py impscan -f
D:\X-Ways-Images\zeus.vmem -p 1724 --base 0x015d0000

.
Base 0x01600000 contains jump instructions to other addresses:
0x1600000 b835000000 MOV EAX, 0x35
0x1600005 e9cdd7307b JMP 0x7c90d7d7
0x160000a b891000000 MOV EAX, 0x91

0x1600017 8bec MOV EBP, ESP

So it seems to be consistent that impscan is unable to find hooked calls
there:
C:\Micha\Forensics\Volatility-2.1a>python vol.py impscan -f
D:\X-Ways-Images\zeus.vmem -p 1724 --base 0x01600000

line 130, in _vicinity_scan
start_addr = sortedlist[0]
IndexError: list index out of range
Or does the error message mean something other? Looked at the first jump
target there is the "detoured" call as expected:
C:\Micha\Forensics\Volatility-2.1a>python vol.py impscan -f
D:\X-Ways-Images\zeus.vmem -p 1724 --base 0x7c90d7d7
Volatile Systems Volatility Framework 2.1_rc1
IAT Call Module Function
---------- ---------- -------------------- --------
0x7c97d280 0x7c832b5c kernel32.dll BaseQueryModuleData
So impscan is not able to directly handle such trampoline calls, is it?
Following the trace of the jump targets there are two imports of
BaseQueryModuleData:
C:\Micha\Forensics\Volatility-2.1a>python vol.py impscan -f
D:\X-Ways-Images\zeus.vmem -p 1724 --base 0x7c90df63
Volatile Systems Volatility Framework 2.1_rc1
IAT Call Module Function
---------- ---------- -------------------- --------
0x7c97d280 0x7c832b5c kernel32.dll BaseQueryModuleData
Also the next jump targets import the same api calls:
C:\Micha\Forensics\Volatility-2.1a>python vol.py impscan -f
D:\X-Ways-Images\zeus.vmem -p 1724 --base 0x7721180d

0x77261034 0x77dfc41b ADVAPI32.dll RegOpenKeyA
.
C:\Micha\Forensics\Volatility-2.1a>python vol.py impscan -f

0x77261034 0x77dfc41b ADVAPI32.dll RegOpenKeyA
.
I have no clue why theses api-call are hooked twice. Does anybody have an
idea?
