p (step-over)
Description of the 'p' command in HyperDbg.
ppr
pp [Count (hex)]prpr [Count (hex)]
Executes a single instruction (step-over) and optionally displays the resulting values of all registers and flags.
[Count (hex)] (optional)
Count of step(s), or how many times perform the stepping operation. If you don't set this argument, then by default, the Count is
1.If you want to step-over one instruction.

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
StepType to the type of step that you want to perform (e.g., step-in, step-over, and instrumentation step-in), and if it's a step-over (only step-over), then if the currently executing instruction is a call instruction, set the IsCurrentInstructionACall to TRUE and also set the length of the current call instruction (if it's a call instruction) to CallLength, so you can hint the debuggee to find the next instruction. In step-over, just set the StepType and set all the other members to null.typedef struct _DEBUGGEE_STEP_PACKET {
DEBUGGER_REMOTE_STEPPING_REQUEST StepType;
//
// Only in the case of call instructions
// the 'p' command
//
BOOLEAN IsCurrentInstructionACall;
UINT32 CallLength;
} DEBUGGEE_STEP_PACKET, *PDEBUGGEE_STEP_PACKET;
StepType can be chosen from one of the following types.typedef enum _DEBUGGER_REMOTE_STEPPING_REQUEST {
DEBUGGER_REMOTE_STEPPING_REQUEST_STEP_OVER,
DEBUGGER_REMOTE_STEPPING_REQUEST_STEP_IN,
DEBUGGER_REMOTE_STEPPING_REQUEST_INSTRUMENTATION_STEP_IN,
} DEBUGGER_REMOTE_STEPPING_REQUEST;
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_MODE_STEP as RequestedAction and DEBUGGER_REMOTE_PACKET_TYPE_DEBUGGER_TO_DEBUGGEE_EXECUTE_ON_VMX_ROOT as PacketType.In return, the debuggee sends a pause packet with the following type.
DEBUGGEE_PAUSING_REASON_DEBUGGEE_STEPPED
The following function is responsible for sending breakpoint buffers in the debugger.
BOOLEAN KdSendStepPacketToDebuggee(DEBUGGER_REMOTE_STEPPING_REQUEST StepRequestType);
This command will set a trap flag in debuggee and continue all the cores. After executing one instruction, it halts the debuggee again.
If the target instruction is a call instruction, it configures the first hardware debug register breakpoint to the instruction after that call. After that, it continues the debuggee and waits for the call to be returned and the next instruction (after the call) to be executed.
All cores and threads (except the currently executing thread) find a chance to be executed between each step in this type of stepping.
If you load symbols and you don't want to see function names, you turn addressconversion off in the 'settings' command.
