help about native api

[aw27]

aw,
I built your version but it does not run on my Win10 64. Builds OK, just does nothing.

Hutch,

This works in windows 10 64-bit, now i use ExitProcess.
You don't need to use GetProcAddress, the function has been around since Windows 2000.

This revelation does not make either yours or mine work in win 10 64 bit.  :P

Mine works in "my" Windows 10 64-bit Build 15063.483  Version 1703
I built it with 100% Genuine ™ Microsoft ® products, namely MASM.EXE and LINK.EXE :lol:

thank you aw27 it work fine  :t

Doesn't work here.

LATER : The exit process fixed it.

result: -1

[jj2007]

ur program when i open it with ollydbg it give eax >0 when the 2 string are same and that is not the correct result

jj2007 the program is not displaying any result

Did you assemble it as console app?

Did you understand this line?

Code Select Expand

Src1a dw 5, 5 ; min, max

My example may be "pure crap", as aw27 puts it in his usual educated style of communication, but it works perfectly. It even returns 0 for the case-insensitive comparison of abcd vs ABCD, but you must understand the min, max line above. And you would certainly understand it if you had followed my advice to google for "counted strings". Now, please answer my question why you want to use the native API. Or better: Why do you want to use the native API, are the CRT functions not available?

P.S.: The 64-bit equivalent - project attached.

[aw27]

The example is pure crap because:
1) it does not evidence that you are dealing with a structure.
2) You are using NULL terminated strings which proves that you simply don't know what counted string are used for.
3) There is no min and max. There is the size of the string and the maximum number of characters in the buffer.
4) It is ridiculous to ask "why do you want this? Is it for malware production?". Come on, not everybody is in the Charles Petzold era, you must not assume that people that want to know more than you are producing ramsonware.

[jj2007]

Note that in the 64-bit example the min max fields are DWORDs, while they are WORDs in 32-bit land.

A short and crispy explanation of counted strings is here.

you must not assume that people that want to know more than you are producing ramsonware.

You are young and naive, José. And uneducated

thank you  aw27  , now i try to use LoadLibraryA :

invoke LoadLibraryA, OFFSET Flib

push  str1
push  str2

i get error about "push  str1 " ad "push  str2"  i have also try offset but i still get the error

I can not test more (JJ can assist you  ), but it appears that you are pushing the parameters in the wrong order, i.e left to right.

Interesting, Tim, but my tests show that the MSDN info is incorrect; in x64, the size of USHORT is still 16 bits, but that fails miserably with RtlCompareString. It would be interesting to see a C 64-bit example, with an _asm int 3; inserted before the RtlCompareString(). Your turn - as you know, jj is not a C programmer

Bien sur. On attend une description plus détaillée du "projet d'éducation" ;-)

Re 64-bit version, this is more correct:

Code Select Expand

Src1a dw 5, 5 ; current len, maxlen
dd ? ; padding
dq Src1
Src1 db "abcde", 0

So it seems the ANSI_STRING structure is, well, QWORD-aligned in x64 8)

Under the hood:

Code Select Expand

000000007771DA18 | 0F B7 31                          | movzx esi, word ptr ds:[rcx]          | 2nd string, current len
000000007771DA1B | 44 0F B7 2A                       | movzx r13d, word ptr ds:[rdx]         | 1st string, current len
000000007771DA1F | 4C 8B 59 08                       | mov r11, qword ptr ds:[rcx+8]         | [rcx+8]:"ABCDE"
000000007771DA23 | 48 8B 5A 08                       | mov rbx, qword ptr ds:[rdx+8]         | [rdx+8]:"abcde"

So, here is a formally correct example for 64-bit land (tested, it works fine):

include \Masm32\MasmBasic\Res\JBasic.inc        ; # 64-bit demo, builds with ML and UAsm #
.data
Src1    db "abcde", 0
Src2    db "ABCDE", 0

ANSI_STRING STRUCT              ; MSDN: Driver Reference
_Length        USHORT ?
MaximumLength  USHORT ?
Buffer         PCHAR ?
ANSI_STRING ENDS

AnsiString1     ANSI_STRING <5, 5, Src1>
AnsiString2     ANSI_STRING <5, 5, Src2>

Init
  Print Chr$("This code was assembled with ", @AsmUsed$(1), " in ", jbit$, "-bit format", 13, 10, 10)
  jinvoke RtlCompareString, addr AnsiString1, addr AnsiString2, 0
  Print Str$("%i returned\n", rax)
  jinvoke RtlCompareString, addr AnsiString1, addr AnsiString2, 1
  Inkey Str$("%i returned\n", rax)

Btw Google shows no sign of life for RtlCompareString, it seems to be the most exotic function on Earth. In which educational context do you want to use it, jango? I am impressed that although you can't push arguments in the right order, you are already studying Kernel mode driver functions :t
