Assumptions & Evaluations
Description of keywords, operators, pseudo-registers, number prefixes, and pre-defined functions
The following articles describe HyperDbg's Script Engine.
HyperDbg uses a MASM-like (Windbg) syntax to evaluate script expressions.
HyperDbg script engine is case-sensitive.

Operator | Description |
|---|---|
( ) | Parentheses |

Here are the currently supported pseudo-registers supported by the script engine.
Pseudo-register | Description |
|---|---|
$pid | The process ID (PID) of the current process. |
$proc | The address of the current process (that is, the address of the nt!_EPROCESS block). |
$pname | A pointer to the character array of the process name. (It is a 16-byte long array in kernel-mode). |
$tid | The thread ID for the current thread. |
$core | The core ID for the current core. |
$thread | The address of the current thread. In kernel-mode debugging, this address is the address of the nt!_ETHREAD block. |
$peb | The address of the process environment block (PEB) of the current process. |
$teb | The address of the thread environment block (TEB) of the current thread. |
$ip | The instruction pointer register (rip). |
$buffer | The pre-allocated buffer if the user requests a safe buffer. |
$context | The context of the triggered event (It has a different meaning in each event). |
$id | The event ID of the triggered event (Only in the case of events). [Added from v0.3] |
$tag | The event tag of the triggered event (Only in the case of events). [Added from v0.3] |
$stage | The calling stage of the triggered event (Only in the case of events). [Added from v0.5] |
Some of the above pseudo-registers are not supported either in kernel-mode or user-mode. If you use these registers, then it returns
NULL.By default, HyperDbg interprets the numbers as hex (base 16). If you want to specify other forms of a number, you should use MASM prefixes. In all MASM expressions, numeric values are interpreted as numbers in the current radix (16, 10, or 8). You can override the default radix by specifying the 0x prefix (hexadecimal), the 0n prefix (decimal), the 0t prefix (octal), or the 0y prefix (binary).
HyperDbg's comments are like C comments.
A comment starts with a slash asterisk
/* and ends with an asterisk slash */ and can be anywhere in your program. Comments can span several lines within your C program./* comment goes here */
OR
/*
* comment goes here
*/
You can create a comment on a single line.
// comment goes here
