API Hook Plugins & AutoIt

[Ruhe]

Does anyone know how to use API Hook Plugins within AutoIt?
I'm interested in pec2hooks_ispacked.dll and maybe pec2hooks_isdebuggerpresent.dll, but especially pec2hooks_api_watermark.dll

Coding for pec2hooks_break_un2pec.dll seems not to be necessary. After including it (/Hh:pec2hooks_break_un2pec.dll) the UN2PEC utility crashes, without coding anything in the own application.

You are right, you don't have to invoke any API to make the UN2PEC plug-in useful - its automatically used. The same goes for the IsDebuggerPresent plug-in when combined with the standard or enhanced anti-debug loader. Since those PECompact loaders call the IsDebuggerPresent API, you don't have to do it.

In cases where you do need to call an API, the method would be the same as calling any other Windows API. Whether or not AutoIt and/or AutoHotKey allow for [in]direct user-specified API calls, I don't know.

FYI

pec2hooks_ispacked.dll & AutoIt

Code: [Select]

Func _GetProcAddress($hModule, $FunctionName)
$call = DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "ptr", "GetProcAddress", "ptr", $hModule, "str", $FunctionName)
Return $call[0]
EndFunc

Func _IsPackedWithPECompact()
If _GetProcAddress(-1, "PEC2_IsPacked") <> 0 Then
Return True
Else
Return False
EndIf
EndFunc

Thanks for posting the solution . I'm sure people will find that useful.

Next I'll try to use pec2hooks_api_watermark.dll ... after I get your response to my mail ("PEWaterMark and AutoIt executables").

[Jeremy Collake]

Where did you send that email to? I'm not seeing it anywhere here.. its entirely possible somehow I missed it, but I don't see anything on a search of PEWatermark or AutoIT.

[Ruhe]

Sent the mail again to support bitsum com.

[Jeremy Collake]

Hmm... not sure why I haven't got it yet. Sometimes the forwarding gets delayed a few hours. They may arrive here in a while, both the first and second ones.

For more immediate emails use 'jeremy.collake@gmail.com'. Otherwise, I will continue waiting for them to come through ;o.

[Ruhe]

Any news about the reported watermark & AutoIt problem?

[Jeremy Collake]

No, I'm sorry. I've been preoccupied here, but still have it on my todo list. I hope to get to it very soon, and also have a planned PECompact release coming soon.

Anymore example of pecompact using autoit?
Thank you
