 Forums >>  Debuggers  >>  Pydbg attach Vs load?

Topic created on: July 29, 2010 11:09 CDT by ResearchAviator .

I find PAIMEI and Pydbg as potentially rich framework. However almost all the examples in the PAIMEI framework uses pydbg to attach to a pid of a process that is already running and using load() does not work. Incase of malware analysis, I find this as a challenge as in most cases the malware immediately completes its actions after launching before using pydbg. I am really sure that i am missing something here as PAIMEI has been successfuly used by many researchers for four years now. Can somebody here point out what am i missing?

pydbg can load() your debuggee very well and you can do your anlysis on it. as an example I'm posting piece of code to handle this for you:

dbg = pydbg()
dbg.load("example.exe", "-u amir")
dbg.debug_event_loop() #or you can simply use it's wrapper run() instead debug_event_loop().


that's all! but yeah, long ago  I had some minor glitches in paimei when i was working with it on loading an executable directly . but by retrying worked fine.

Yeah, the load() api works some time and fails sometime. I am looking to develop a simple script that can help plotting the logic of a polymorphic virus.
