!pte (display page-level address and entries)
Description of the '!pte' command in HyperDbg.
!pte
!pte [VirtualAddress (hex)] [pid ProcessId (hex)]
Displays the PML4E, PDPTE, PDE, PTE for the specified address.
[VirtualAddress (hex)]
The virtual address of where we want to read its page-level entries.
[pid ProcessId (hex)] (optional)
The Process Id of where you want to convert the address based on it.
If you don't specify the pid, then the default pid is the current process (HyperDbg) process layout of memory.
In the Debugger Mode, the pid (parameter) is ignored. If you want to view another process memory, use the '.process' command to switch to another process memory layout.
The following command shows the page-level entries
nt!ExAllocatePoolWithTag.HyperDbg> !pte nt!ExAllocatePoolWithTag
VA fffff801639b1030
PML4E (PXE) at ffffeaf57abd5f80 contains 0000000005109063
PDPTE (PPE) at ffffeaf57abf0028 contains 000000000510a063
PDE at ffffeaf57e0058e0 contains 0a000000034000a1
PDE is a large page, so it doesn't have a PTE
The following command shows the page-level entries
nt!ExAllocatePoolWithTag+5.HyperDbg> !pte nt!ExAllocatePoolWithTag+5

This function works by calling DeviceIoControl with
IOCTL = IOCTL_DEBUGGER_READ_PAGE_TABLE_ENTRIES_DETAILS, you have to send it in the following structure.typedef struct _DEBUGGER_READ_PAGE_TABLE_ENTRIES_DETAILS
{
UINT64 VirtualAddress;
UINT32 ProcessId;
UINT64 Pml4eVirtualAddress;
UINT64 Pml4eValue;
UINT64 PdpteVirtualAddress;
UINT64 PdpteValue;
UINT64 PdeVirtualAddress;
UINT64 PdeValue;
UINT64 PteVirtualAddress;
UINT64 PteValue;
UINT32 KernelStatus;
} DEBUGGER_READ_PAGE_TABLE_ENTRIES_DETAILS,
*PDEBUGGER_READ_PAGE_TABLE_ENTRIES_DETAILS;
You should only fill the VirtualAddress of the above structure when the IOCTL returns from the kernel, other parts of this structure are filled with valid entry virtual addresses and the entry value itself.
If you want to convert based on another process memory layout, then put its process ID. Otherwise, put the current process id on it. ProcessId is ignored in debugger mode.
You can map the value to each entry's structure (Look at Intel SDM for more information).
Also, the structures are available in
MemoryMapper.h but they might be outdated.If the VirtualAddress and Value of entry for PDE and PTE from the kernel IOCTL are the same, the entry has a LARGE PDE and doesn't have PTE.
This command is guaranteed to keep debuggee in a halt state (in Debugger Mode); thus, nothing will change during its execution.
