NtCall

Library for using direct system calls It automatically detect type of gate for call system call (WOW64 \ custom WOW64 \ Int2E \ Sysenter \ Syscall )

Checked Support on Windows

How it works

By using TEB and KUSER_SHARED_DATA strucures we can determine what must use for make call to kernel.

On x86 we check WOW32Reserved in TEB for detect used wow64 wrapper, and SystemCall in KUSER_SHARED_DATA for detect what's used int2e or direct call. On x64 we check only SystemCall in KUSER_SHARED_DATA because it doesnt use any wow64.

So we detect used call type, next we need somehow use it. Use it on x86 can be in 4 kinds

1. Int2E
2. sysenter - default on windows x86 for ntdll
3. Original Wow64 - default on windows x64 in wow64 for ntdll
4. Custom Wow64 - custom wow64 wrapper to convert x86 call parameters to x64 representation and vice versa

In x64 this used shared methods so it notinteresting :)

1. Int2E
2. syscall - default on windows x64

For comfortable use it (wow64 custom wrapper), project depend on object_cvt64to32 what can convert object file with arch x64 to use it in arch x86 build

Why

Custom wow64 basically supports almost all, except ENUM functions such as NtQuerySystemInformaton. Functions with ENUM are also supported, but most of them crash the process at the stage of calling the parameter conversion. It takes a lot of hours to debug and fix. So if anyone wants to help with a fix, I welcome all contributions to this project :)

Example Use

#include <higu_ntcall.h>

int main() {
  /*
     initialize syscall indexes in the start
  */
  initialize_syscall_table_auto(); 
  ...
  
  ...
  /*
     use Nt functions like staticly imported
  */
  HANDLE handle;
  NTSTATUS nt_status = NtCreateEvent(&handle, EVENT_ALL_ACCESS, 0, EVENT_TYPE::NotificationEvent, 0);
  ...
}
