[internal] All information about how to plug a tracer.
Description
The Triton library allows you to plug any kind of tracers. E.g: Pin, Valgrind and even a database. To use the libTriton, your tracer must provide two kinds of information at each program point:
- The current opcode executed.
- A state context (register and memory).
Based on these two information, Triton will translate the control flow into AstNode. As an example, let assume that you have dumped a trace into a database with all registers state and memory access - these information may come from Valgrind, Pin, Qemu or whatever. The following Python code uses the Triton's API to build the semantics of each instruction stored in the database.
#!/usr/bin/env python2
import sys
import struct
from triton import ARCH, Instruction, MemoryAccess
from database import Manager
unpack_size = {1: 'B', 2: 'H', 4: 'I', 8: 'Q', 16: 'QQ'}
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Get the current Triton context
ctxt = getTritonContext()
# Connect to the database
db = Manager().connect()
# inst_id is the instruction id into the database.
inst_id = 1
while True:
# Get opcode (from database)
opcode = db.get_opcode_from_inst_id(inst_id)
if opcode is None:
break
# Get concrete register value (from database)
regs = db.get_registers_from_inst_id(inst_id)
# Build the Triton instruction
inst = Instruction()
# Setup opcode
inst.setOpcode(opcode)
# Setup Address
inst.setAddress(regs['rip'])
# Update concrete register state
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.rax, regs['rax'])
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.rbx, regs['rbx'])
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.rcx, regs['rcx'])
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.rdx, regs['rdx'])
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.rdi, regs['rdi'])
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.rsi, regs['rsi'])
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.rbp, regs['rbp'])

ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.rip, regs['rip'])

ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.r12, regs['r12'])
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.r13, regs['r13'])
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.r14, regs['r14'])
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.r15, regs['r15'])
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.eflags, regs['eflags'])
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.fs, regs['fs']) # The mapped base address
ctxt.setConcreteRegisterValue(ctxt.registers.gs, regs['gs']) # The mapped base address
# Update concrete memory access
accesses = db.get_memory_access_from_inst_id(inst_id)
# Update memory access
for access in accesses:
if access['kind'] == 'R': address = access['addr']
data = access['data']
value = struct.unpack(unpack_size[len(data)], data)[0]
ctxt.setConcreteMemoryValue(MemoryAccess(address, len(data), value))
# Process everything (build IR, spread taint, perform simplification, ...)
ctxt.processing(inst)
# At this point, all engines inside the Triton library were been synchronized with the concrete state.
# Display instruction
print inst
# Display symbolic expressions
for expr in inst.getSymbolicExpressions():
print '\t', expr
# Next instruction (from the database)
inst_id += 1
sys.exit(0)
The database connection is a pure example to show you how to interact with the Triton API. As Triton is written in C++, you can directly create your Triton instruction inside a DBI engine (like Pin or Valgrind). According to your tracer, you can refer to the Python or the C++ API.
The Triton's pintool
This project is shippied with a pintool as tracer. Basically, you can add callbacks, get current registers and memory values, inject values into registers and memory, start and stop analysis at specific points, select what images are jitted or not, interact with the Triton API and many more... All information about the pintool API is describe at this following page Python API - Methods and namespaces of the Pintool tracer. Below, some examples.
