Should this handle packaged Chromium too?

yoshimo opened this issue · comments

Some applications run LIBCEF, aka Chromium Embedded Framework which in turn is using tls somewhere. Probably boringtls
I tried to attach fritrap on every spawned sub-process (It would be nice if fritap would automatically cover processes that are spawned from the main process as well), including those that seem to connect to the outside world.
The pcap stays empty. So i was wondering if this supposed to work or i am not doing anything wrong?

Hi @yoshimo

first of all thx for reporting this issue. I'm not sure if we tested friTap against Chrome explicitly and it might that friTap is currently not supporting LIBCEF based applications.
In order to improve friTap in that field can you suggest an example application we can use for testing and development purposes?
Further more on which platform do you encounter this issue?

The pcap stays empty

same here, when attaching to a running chromium process

Network.streamResourceContent

Enables streaming of the response for the given requestId. If enabled, the dataReceived event contains the data that was received during streaming.

i need this for my aiohttp_chromium to support capturing HTTP streams
because capturing streams is not supported by the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)

one problem/challenge is that chromium has no dynamic linking to libssl.so or libboringssl.so

$ ldd $(which chromium) | grep ssl | wc -l
0

the naive attempt to hook BIO_read fails

Interceptor.attach(Module.getExportByName(null, 'BIO_read'), {
  onEnter(args) {
    // ...
  },
  onLeave(retval) {
    // ...
  },
});
Error: unable to find export 'BIO_read'

fix: use Interceptor.attach with function offsets

$ nm $(which chromium) | grep -e BIO_read -e BIO_write

0000000007f42940 t BIO_read
0000000007f42a80 t BIO_write
0000000007f42b20 t BIO_write_all

... but this (hooking functions in the main executable)
seems to be impossible with frida
and instead, we need binary-patching tools like e9patch

see also E9Patch Web Browser Guide

It is also possible to instrument Google Chrome using E9Tool/E9Patch. However, for modern versions of Chrome, this can be troublesome:

  • Chrome frequently uses data-in-code; and
  • Chrome seems to copy some code to different locations at runtime. This breaks some of the basic assumptions for static binary rewriting.

considering that chromium is open source, this is ridiculous...
this obfuscation will be justified with "better security"
because so its harder to sniff HTTP traffic... but surely not impossible

see also frida/frida-tools#42

Hi,

thx for providing such detailed information. Currently, friTap can only identify SSL libraries when they are dynamically linked. However, if you know the offsets, you can try to specify them as explained in [1]. For this, use the --offsets parameter.

To identify newly spawned processes with friTap, you can leverage the spawn gating feature of Frida. Simply use the --enable_spawn_gating parameter to enable this functionality.

Regarding Chromium support, at present, other issues are prioritized due to the focus being broader than just a single application. However, we're always open to contributions. So, if you have a solution for this issue, please don't hesitate to share it with us :-)

[1] https://github.com/fkie-cad/friTap/blob/main/USAGE.md#providing-custom-offsetsaddresses

for the record, i dont need this for now, so im not working on this

one problem is that frida is slow, compared to gdb or lldb
the initial scanning of the binary is so much faster with gdb/lldb
