Hi, I am writing a clicker for L2 and stuck with smartguard. I understand that I have to use some trampoline to bypass api hook from smartguard, but I can't find good document on how using it.

 

As far as I understand, trampoline must be place in a DLL, and that DLL must inject to L2. I have to find what api guard.des is hooking and then write a trampoline to jump to original function. In my case, I need to use SendInput() or keybd_event() or SendMessage( [WM_KEYDOWN / WM_KEYUP] ). Then I must find the actual address of  these function in module User32.dll and then write a trampoline to jump back to this function. That is pretty much everything I understand about api hook / detours.

 

But It seem not right. I think I got it wrong somewhere.

 

I use hookshark to find which api detours guard.des using, and the only interesting detour I found on the L2.exe process is GetRawInputData and it doesn't make sense. So, Guard.des doesn't hook on SendInput, keybd_event or SendMessage as it is no use to write trampoline for these function.

 

This is where I stuck.

Appreciate any help :)

Why clicker? Just go for a bot. But if u really want to, the as far as i know L2 uses directinput which is resistant by nature of it to keybd_event or SendInput. Did you try inejcting messages directly to window procedure? This works in most cases. Dont use Hookshark program, write one yourself. The popular one has soem defects, doesnt show all hooks, especially cant scan ntdll where most of interesting stuff resides.

 

And what do you mean by saying "That is pretty much everything I understand about api hook" ? You have to avoid any modifications when creating a cheat, more mods = higher detect ratio and you definitel dont want it. Hooking is terrible idea (look at l2tower which hooks like 20 functions, doesnt work anywhere).

 

So right now reverse to the window creation, find the address of WndProc and try here. BTW Can you show screenshot with log from hookshark? Im interested how many did he find... :)

I mean I am newb at hook and reverse engineering stuffs and that is what I've read somewhere from the internet  :D

 

Mouse hook and keyboard hook are the only kind of hook that I know. Since I am a noob clicker is easiest to code for me, and clicker is enough for me.

 

On some private high/mid rate server, there are other way to farm than hunt mobs, such as raid boss Zaken which need about 12 - 14 players (or 14 boxes on a single computer), and clicker is the best. My clicker just does SendMessage with WM_KEYDOWN / WM_KEYUP to the correct L2 hwnd(s) and everything is good: one player, one computer, 14 L2 client windows and one clicker. That's it.

 

Before L2 exilium upgraded with smartguard my clicker worked fine. You know what happened after they upgraded with smartguard  :D

 

Like I said, I am noob at this hook / detour stuffs, and the information I find on the internet is not helping much.

 

Here are the logs

The one which makes your clicker not work is most probably this:

 

[6596] L2.exe!window.dll->?StaticWndProc@WWindow@@SGJPAUHWND__@@IIJ@Z       || [0x1101C480] => guard.des [0x72FD382B]            || Inline - Detour [5 Bytes] || push ebp            || jmp 72FD3830h
 

Did you try to preapre the stack + original entry instructions and call it? This would work almost for sure

It starts to make sense. So, guard.des detours the callback function that handle all the messages sent to L2 client hwnd and filters out WM_KEYUP /  WM_KEYDOWN. That is probably why message WM_CHAR still works.

Well, that is beyond my knowledge :D

 

But at least, I have something to search for. I guess I have a lot of reading to do.

 

Thanks alot.

I've never been using the detour/retour terminology :) You have to understand how hooking works and how do the "hooker" call real function. The algorithm is to copy instructions from the functions entry and overwrite them with a jump to your code, and create a jump back to real function using the copied instructions and adding a jump to it. If you manage to find or reproduce these instructions then you are set. It may sound very compilcated at start but u need to check it carefully. Do you use a debugger? Its million times easier with one

I had a hunch a debugger could be useful someday, then I collected some, such as IDA pro, ollydbg... But never use them before because I have no idea how to read ASM :D

 

So, I have to find the address of the callback function StaticWndProc in the memory, then overwrite the first 5 bytes with my instructions that jump to my_function in my_dll and then my function will jump back to the 6th byte and run the original StaticWndProc. I think I read somewhere they call it trampoline, but actually it is access memory of other process and overwrite a part of that process' memory with my instructions, am I right?

 

I have a question, since guard.des overwrite the first 5 bytes with inline-detour which jump to a function in guard.des, is that right? I think maybe we just need to overwrite that 5 bytes with the original 5 bytes of the original function, like undo what guard.des does and bam StaticWndProc now received WM_KEYDOWN again.

Welp i wrote a big post and it did not send it somehow... So basically u are right with the jump idea, but u cannot unhook guard.des, it will detect it immidietly. You can try to disable the checking loop but without asm knowledge u wont do it, so what you need to do is to reproduce first 5 bytes, then add jump to the 6th and call function that way. I may make short video on it maybe

    • What’s DatForge? Well… it’s a website I built initially to edit .dat files for Lineage 2… but not only that. Now it also handles: .dat, .ini, .htm, and .l2r files basically most Lineage 2 client data file types across 33+ chronicles. https://datforge.pages.dev/   Support / Reports / Anything Discord: https://discord.gg/5YwhBr5Dhx (use it for support, bug reports, or anything related to the project) Does it work for every version? No idea. I haven’t tested every single one… unless you want to volunteer. Do I plan to support every version? Yes. That’s the dream. Will that dream become reality? idk man, can’t promise shit. What’s coming next? (aka things I plan to do before I disappear) xdat editor .u editor / compiler / decompiler Let me sell you a dream real quick I will maintain this forever… probably… maybe… don’t quote me on that. Before you even start First requirement to use anything I build: you gotta be able to think. I won’t spend time drawing. Also… whoever said “there’s no such thing as a stupid question” was lying to make stupid people feel better. If you ask a stupid question, I will ignore it. PERIOD. Extra FAQ (since people will ask anyway) Am I looking for other pseudo AI coders/devs to join? Not really… unless you can actually add real value. Am I looking for people to manage a Discord server? Probably yes. I hate that crap. Will we be friends if you sign up? Not really. Will I do any changes on your L2J server if you sign up? No. Will I teach you how to code? No. How do you know if I’m legit? You don’t. FAQ (before you ask) What makes us different? There is no us. It’s just me. What makes me different? idk, you tell me. Why should you buy it? You probably shouldn’t. But if you want to… go ahead. How do I try it? Click the link. That’s it. Will the free account have everything? Read the pricing page. Don’t ask questions you can answer yourself. What if I find issues? I’m not your father, I won’t teach you how to use it. But if something is actually broken, post it and I’ll fix it. Why is it taking so long? Because you’re buying a tool, not hiring an employee. I work on it when I have time. If you want to pay my salary… we can talk (no promises). Am I an asshole like I sound? Not really. But people seem to like it, so I’m leaning into it. Will you share the source? Yes. Wait and see. If you're still here Congrats. Feel free to ask questions or suggest features. Just don’t come with crazy ideas, and remember: suggestions ≠ implementation. Bug reports If you report issues, they’ll most likely be fixed within a few hours… worst case a few days. Security issues / bypasses If you find something interesting, send me a PM with steps to reproduce. If it’s legit, you might get rewarded. “But if I don’t report it I can exploit it forever” …until I fix it myself and now you got nothing. Your call. Release dates When is xdat editor coming out? Soon. What day? Soon. What about .u files? Soon. Why no dates? Because this is not my full-time job. Pricing Do I need to pay to try it? No. There’s a free tier. If you want more, you can pay and unlock everything. Final note (before the “ooh but…” starts) This tool was built for me. I just decided to share it. I’m not a company. I’m not trying to live off this. But if you want a tool and don’t want to build it yourself… well… I already did 
    • report: scammer @nickathan he was a customer of me and this time i trusted him to send the files before i get paid .. he said in 1 hour he will give the money, i gave him space for 2 weeks , but he vanished! Proofs can be transmitted to @Celestine 
    • If they ask you to write something, you should ask for the full context. We had a private chat between the administrators of mxc and gx ext. He was allowed back on the forum on the condition that he did not spam unnecessary posts. As far as I'm concerned, it shouldn't be allowed because it involves multiple scams. We want and aim for a stronger community. He's not only doing this with this account, but with several, since this user has multiple accounts. As for what one user or another contributes, that's irrelevant; I often provide support to the community and I don't need to make it public. But I repeat, if they ask you to write a comment, just ask for the full context, nothing more than that. Or if you want a direct answer from me, feel free to message me privately so we can avoid spamming a post about an extender. That's the problem with second chances 
    • I currently have a working custom quest, but the problem is that I can't see it in the game's quest log. I've added it to questname-e.dat, but I still don't see it. I think there's another file where I need to add it, but I can't find it. For the items and skills I've added, I've always put it in the name and grp fields, but there's nothing related to questgrp.dat in the quest log. Could you tell me where I can add it?
