scdbg is a shellcode analysis application built around the libemu emulation library. When run it will display to the user all of the Windows API the shellcode attempts to call.

What I wanted was a emulation version of sclog that I could be free to run without worry on my dekstop.
Additions include:
140+ new api hooks, 9 new dlls, interactive debug shell, rebuilt PEB, support for file format exploits, support for return address scanners, memory monitor, report mode, dump mode, easily human readable outputs, log after xx capabilities, directory mode, inline analysis of process injection shellcode and more...

here log after step option (-las) shows exactly why shellcode is crashing:
it is trying to execute 2nd stage shellcode from stack loaded with a recv.
This shellcode could be run further with the -i interactive mode option.


The simplest command line you can use is:
  • scdbg -f shellcode_file.sc
Where shellcode_file.sc is the raw shellcode in binary format.

An example of working with shellcode for a file format exploit might look like:
  • scdbg -f shellcode.sc -fopen bad.doc_ -u -i
In this case, the shellcode can scan for the open file handle, and actually decode and extract the embedded executables dropping them to disk for you.

  • some sample shellcode files - ./files/_sc_samples.zip (the google site block mafia prevents me from including a direct link):
For Windows Users I have ported the library over to give a native compile using Visual Studio 2008. This is the main development branch going forward.

Linux users should grab the GCC source below which can still be cross compiled. (Windows cygwin users may also be interested in the GCC builds as they still contain the graphing and original -getpc features)

The Visual Studio source repository also includes several other sub projects such as tool to create -patch files as well as project to compile as __stdcall DLL. This libemu dll is suitable for use with Visual Basic 6, C Sharp any other language which can consume a standard Windows dll. Example projects are available in the languages mentioned above.

Windows Native Source/Binaries (15 dlls, 297 hooks - current development branch)
*nix/Cygwin Source/Binaries (100 hooks - inactive)

The older gcc compatible and cross-compilable version is available here:
(tested with cygwin/gcc 3.4 & 4.3, RHEL 2.6/ gcc 4.1) Thanks again to Markus and Paul for releasing this very cool library!

Note that the windows version of scdbg.exe looks to run ok under wine. the gui_launcher.exe however will not.

if you hit a shellcode that has a legit opcode not supported you can try it against the scdbg unicorn build which has merged the libemu Win32 env with the Unicorn (QEMU) emulator. All the hooks are in place and working, but I have not ported all of the command line options over yet.

You can read more about how this was done in my Writing a libemu/Unicorn Compatability Layer Fireeye blog post.

Thank you for maintaining scdbg, it is an extremely useful tool. The hook of ZwSetInformationProcess contains a bug. This line if(infoClass0x22){ I believe should be if(infoClass0x22){
