### VMProfiler - Library To Profile VMProtect 2 Virtual Machines

vmprofiler is a c++ library which is used to statically analyze VMProtect 2 polymorphic virtual machines. This project is inherited in vmprofiler-qt, vmprofiler-cli, and vmemu. This is the base project for all other VMProtect 2 projects inside of this group on githacks.

### Build Instructions

* Warning: Visual Studio 2019 must be installed on the system... Also please make sure it is completely up-to-date! You will have compile issues if you are not updated :)

```
git clone --recursive https://githacks.org/vmp2/vmprofiler.git
cd vmprofiler
cmake -B build
```

You can now open `vmprofiler.sln`, select "Release" and "x64" then build.

### Basic Usage - Creating a vm::ctx_t Object

The `vm::ctx_t` class is a small container-like class which is simply used to contain all information for a given vm entry. This class contains the following useful information:

* all vm handlers for a given vm entry
* the linear virtual address of the module base in memory
* the image base address 
* the image size in virtual memory
* which way VIP advances (exec_type)
* vm entry relative virtual address
* vm entry deobfuscated and flattened
* calc jmp deobfuscated and flattened

All of the above information is generated by executing the `vm::ctx_t::init` member function. Below is a C++ example of how to create a `vm::ctx_t` object.

```cpp
const auto module_base = reinterpret_cast< std::uintptr_t >(
    LoadLibraryExA( parser.get< std::string >( "bin" ).c_str(),
        NULL, DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES ) );

const auto vm_entry_rva = std::strtoull( parser.get< std::string >( "vmentry" ).c_str(), nullptr, 16 );
const auto image_base = umtils->image_base( parser.get< std::string >( "bin" ).c_str() );
const auto image_size = NT_HEADER( module_base )->OptionalHeader.SizeOfImage;
vm::ctx_t vmctx( module_base, image_base, image_size, vm_entry_rva );

if ( !vmctx.init() )
{
    std::printf( "[!] failed to init vm::ctx_t... make sure all cli arguments are correct!\n" );
    return -1;
}
```

### Using vm::ctx_t Object

Once you have instantiated `vm::ctx_t` and called `vm::ctx_t::init` with success, you now can directly access the data members of `vm::ctx_t`. Most importantly, `vm::ctx_t::calc_jmp`, `vm::ctx_t::vm_entry`, and `vm::ctx_t::vm_handlers`. An example usage of this data could be dumping the native x86_64 instructions which make up `vm::ctx_t::vm_entry`. Example c++ code for this is displayed below.

```cpp
std::puts( "======================== [vm entry] ========================\n" );
vm::util::print( vmctx.vm_entry );
```

```

You can also loop through all vm handlers easily. Below is an example of looping through the vm handler vector inside of `vm::ctx_t::vm_handlers`.

```cpp
for ( auto idx = 0u; idx < vmctx.vm_handlers.size(); ++idx )
{
    std::printf( "======================== [%s #%d] ========================\n",
                 vmctx.vm_handlers[ idx ].profile ? vmctx.vm_handlers[ idx ].profile->name : "UNK", idx );

    vm::util::print( vmctx.vm_handlers[ idx ].instrs );

    // if there is no imm then there are no transforms...
    if ( !vmctx.vm_handlers[ idx ].imm_size )
    {
        std::puts( "\n" );
        continue;
    }

    std::puts( "======================== [transforms] ========================\n" );
    for ( auto &[ mnemonic, instr ] : vmctx.vm_handlers[ idx ].transforms )
    {
        if ( instr.mnemonic == ZYDIS_MNEMONIC_INVALID )
            continue;

        vm::util::print( instr );
    }
    std::puts( "\n" );
}
```

***Output***
