frida-stack

Small frida module for ensuring you get the stack information you wanted.

What?

Often when using Frida, I would run into issues with wanting specific stack traces. Then I realized I didn't have a specific context window, or the stack traces didn't contain the correct shared libraries in them. This resulted in me re-writing the same functions all the time.

In other instances, mostly when reverse engineering heavily obfuscated or packed code, I would have discovered functions or places in memory which had been created without any exports available. This would lead to questions like, what process/library owned this? Where am I inside those libraries?

To answer the above questions, I wrapped some of the standard Thread.Backtrace functions and added some scanning of the Process memory ranges.

Installing

$ npm install frida-extended-stack

Usage

import { Stack } from 'frida-stack'

function hook_exit() {
  const _exitPtr = Module.findExportByName('libc.so', '_exit');

  if (_exitPtr) {
    const _exit = new NativeFunction(_exitPtr, 'int', ['int']);

    Interceptor.replace(
      _exitPtr,
      new NativeCallback(
        function (status) {
          console.log(`[+] _exit : ${status} from ${Stack.getModuleInfo(this.context.pc)}`);
	        console.log(Stack.native(this.context)
          return _exit(status);
        },
        'int',
        ['int'],
      ),
    );
  }
}

Output:

[Pixel 4::com.example.package ]-> [+] _exit : 0 from 0x7713d25000 libexamplesharedlib.so:0x1aae8
0x7713d25000 libexamplesharedlib.so:0x1aae8

Now you have a library and the exact offset into the library for reversing.
