GitHub release

A Pin Tool for tracing:

  • API calls
  • selected instructions: RDTSC, CPUID
  • transition between sections of the traced module (helpful in finding OEP of the packed module)

Bypasses the anti-tracing check based on RDTSC.

Generates a report in a .tag format (which can be loaded into other analysis tools):

RVA;traced event

i.e.

345c2;section: .text
58069;called: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\kernel32.dll.IsProcessorFeaturePresent
3976d;called: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\kernel32.dll.LoadLibraryExW

How to build?

🚧 To compile the prepared project you need to use Visual Studio >= 2012. It was tested with Intel Pin 3.19 and 3.20.
Clone this repo into \source\tools that is inside your Pin root directory. Open the project in Visual Studio and build. Detailed description available here.

📖 More details about the usage you will find on the project's Wiki.

WARNINGS

  • In order for Pin to work correctly, Kernel Debugging must be DISABLED.
  • Since the version 3.20 Pin has dropped a support for old versions of Windows. If you need to use the tool on Windows < 8, try to compile it with Pin 3.19.
