bp (set breakpoint)
Description of the 'bp' command in HyperDbg.
bp
bp [Address (hex)] [pid ProcessId (hex)] [tid ThreadId (hex)] [core CoreId (hex)]
Puts a breakpoint (0xcc) on the target function in user-mode and kernel-mode.
If you use the 'bp' command, HyperDbg won't hide your breakpoint for the applications that read the memory. The only reason to use 'bp' instead of !epthook is that 'bp' is guaranteed to keep debuggee in a halt state (in Debugger Mode); thus, nothing will change during its execution. However, the in !epthook the guest will be continued for some time, and you lose the current context.
[Address (hex)]
The Virtual address of where we want to put a breakpoint.
[pid ProcessId (hex)] [tid ThreadId (hex)] [core CoreId (hex)] (optional)
Optional value to trigger breakpoint in just one special process or one special thread, or one special core. Add
pid xx
to your command or tid yy
or core zz
; thus, the command will be executed if the process id is equal to xx
or the thread id is equal to yy
or the core is equal to zz
. If you don't specify these options, then by default, you receive breakpoints on all conditions. See the Remarks section for more information about pid.As the Context, HyperDbg sends the virtual address of where the breakpoint is triggered (
RIP
of the triggered breakpoint).If you want to put breakpoints on
nt!ExAllocatePoolWithTag
, nt!ExAllocatePoolWithTag+5
,nt!ExAllocatePoolWithTag+@rax+5
, fffff801639b1035
, fffff801639b103a
, and fffff801639b103f
, you can use the following commands.0: kHyperDbg> bp nt!ExAllocatePoolWithTag
0: kHyperDbg> bp nt!ExAllocatePoolWithTag+5
0: kHyperDbg> bp nt!ExAllocatePoolWithTag+@rax+5
0: kHyperDbg> bp fffff801`639b1035
0: kHyperDbg> bp fffff801`639b103a
0: kHyperDbg> bp fffff801`639b103f

This commands works over serial by sending the serial packets to the remote computer.
First of all, you should fill the following structure, set the
Address
to your target virtual address that you want to put a breakpoint on it, and fill Pid
to your special process id, and/or Tid
to your special thread id, and/or Core
to your special core.typedef struct _DEBUGGEE_BP_PACKET {
UINT64 Address;
UINT32 Pid;
UINT32 Tid;
UINT32 Core;
UINT32 Result;
} DEBUGGEE_BP_PACKET, *PDEBUGGEE_BP_PACKET;
If you want your breakpoint to be triggered for all processes, threads, and cores, then choose
DEBUGGEE_BP_APPLY_TO_ALL_PROCESSES
, DEBUGGEE_BP_APPLY_TO_ALL_THREADS
, DEBUGGEE_BP_APPLY_TO_ALL_CORES
.The next step is sending the above structure to the debuggee when debuggee is paused and waiting for new command on vmx-root mode.
You should send the above structure with
DEBUGGER_REMOTE_PACKET_REQUESTED_ACTION_ON_VMX_ROOT_BP
as RequestedAction
and DEBUGGER_REMOTE_PACKET_TYPE_DEBUGGER_TO_DEBUGGEE_EXECUTE_ON_VMX_ROOT
as PacketType
.In return, the debuggee sends the above structure with the following type.
DEBUGGER_REMOTE_PACKET_REQUESTED_ACTION_DEBUGGEE_RESULT_OF_BP
In the returned structure, the
Result
is filled by the kernel.If the
Result
is DEBUGEER_OPERATION_WAS_SUCCESSFULL
, then the operation was successful. Otherwise, the returned result is an error.The following function is responsible for sending breakpoint buffers in the debugger.
BOOLEAN KdSendBpPacketToDebuggee(PDEBUGGEE_BP_PACKET BpPacket);
In this command,
pid xx
does not mean that we will change the layout to a new process, it means that the address should be available in the current process layout but will be triggered only on the process with process id equal to xx
, you can use the '.process' command to switch to a new process if you want to put a breakpoint on the layout of another process.This command is guaranteed to keep debuggee in a halt state (in Debugger Mode); thus, nothing will change during its execution.
