Android ART Hook/Native Inline Hook/Single Instruction Hook - support 4.4 - 11.0 32/64 bit - Xposed API Compat

SandHook

  • Android ART Hook
  • Native Inline Hook

Version

arch support

  • ARM64
  • ARM32(no tested)
  • Thumb-2

OS

4.4(ART Runtime) - 11.0 dev-preview-1

Project Struct

  • annotation
    annotation api
  • hooklib
    core lib of art hook
  • nativehook
    lib of native hook
  • xposedcompat
    stable implement of xposed api compat for sandhook
  • xposedcompat_new
    annother implement of xposed api compat for sandhook(hook more fast first time)
  • hookers
    hook plugin demo for annotation api

how to use

gradle
implementation 'com.swift.sandhook:hooklib:4.2.0'
// need for android 11
implementation 'com.swift.sandhook:nativehook:4.2.0'

Annotation API


  • hook method must be a static method
  • first par must be this if method is not static
  • method description must "same"(can be isAssignableFrom) with origin method
  • backup method same with above
…

if hookers is in plugin(like xposed):

groovy
provided 'com.swift.sandhook:hookannotation:4.2.0'

in your plugin

if OS <= 5.1 backup method can call itself to avoid be inlining

Xposed API


Now you can use Xposed api:

We have two different implements:

groovy
//stable
implementation 'com.swift.sandhook:xposedcompat:4.2.0'

//or

//hook fast first time
implementation 'com.swift.sandhook:xposedcompat_new:4.2.0'
…

Notice

Disable Inline

JIT inline

We can do nothing to prevent some methods been inlined before app start, but we can try to disable VM Jit Inline after launch.

if you will hook some method that could be inlined, please call SandHook.disableVMInline()(OS >= 7.0) in Application.OnCreate()

Inline by dex2oat

Background dex2oat

SandHook.tryDisableProfile(getPackageName());

dex2oat by DexClassLoader

SandHook.disableDex2oatInline(fullyDisableDex2oat);

or

ArtDexOptimizer.dexoatAndDisableInline to dex2oat manuly

Deoptimize(Boot Image)

You can also deoptimize a caller that inlined your hook method by SandHook.deCompile(caller), just implement >= 7.0

Hidden API

SandHook.passApiCheck();

To bypass hidden api on P & Q

Debuggable

You must set debuggble of the target hook process before init when OS >= 8.0.

SandHookConfig.DEBUG =

Native Hook

simple hook(no backup)

#include "includes/sandhook.h"

bool nativeHookNoBackup(void* origin, void* hook);

need backup origin method

#include "sandhook_native.h"

void* SandInlineHook(void* origin, void* replace);

void* SandInlineHookSym(const char* so, const char* symb, void* replace);

return is backup method

break point

you can insert a break point in body of method(not only start of method), so you can read/write registers in break point.

bool SandBreakPoint(void* origin, void (*callback)(REG[]));

bool SandSingleInstBreakPoint(void *origin, BreakCallback(callback));

short method

#include "sandhook_native.h"

void* SandSingleInstHook(void* origin, void* replace);

void* SandSingleInstHookSym(const char* so, const char* symb, void* replace);

use it when your method is <= 16bytes(64bit)/8bytes(32bit)

SandSingleInstHook only need 4bytes length

EdXposed(SandHook Brunch)

Unofficial xposed framework >= 8.0

See release above

Android Q(10.0)

in MyApp.java

//if you want test Android Q, please set true, because SDK_INT of Android Q is still 28 public final static boolean testAndroidQ = false;
