POC++ Loading a DLL into the default AppDomain
text
Body
copied!<p>Using my non-existent knowledge of C++ (hey, at least I know what a pointer is :P ), I managed to throw together some code samples to create a solution that will inject a DLL file into another program.</p> <p>Unfortunately, it's the DLL I'm INJECTING that's not working properly: it successfully displays the messageboxes (so I know the DLL is running), but it's not actually creating the instance of the specified type (from the managed DLL, which has a static constructor in type Injectee that writes to a file). So, can anyone help me with where I'm going wrong? (N.B. the managed DLL is the same .Net version, and installed to the GAC. There's also a copy in the same folder as the application I'm injecting into)</p> <p>This is the unmanaged injectee (that's supposed to load the managed DLL):</p> <pre><code>#include "stdafx.h" #include "Injectee.h" #include "stdafx.h" #include <stdio.h> #include "objbase.h" #include "MSCorEE.h" #import "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorlib.tlb" raw_interfaces_only using namespace mscorlib; void Bootstrap() { CoInitializeEx(0, COINIT_MULTITHREADED ); ICorRuntimeHost* pICorRuntimeHost = 0; HRESULT st = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_CorRuntimeHost, 0, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_ICorRuntimeHost, (void**)&pICorRuntimeHost); if(!pICorRuntimeHost) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Failed at stage 1."), TEXT("Error"), MB_OK); } HDOMAINENUM hEnum = NULL; pICorRuntimeHost->EnumDomains(&hEnum); if(!hEnum) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Failed at stage 2."), TEXT("Error"), MB_OK); } IUnknown* pUunk = 0; st = pICorRuntimeHost->NextDomain(hEnum, &pUunk); if(!pUunk) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Failed at stage 3."), TEXT("Error"), MB_OK); } _AppDomain * pCurDomain = NULL; st = pUunk->QueryInterface(__uuidof(_AppDomain), (VOID**)&pCurDomain); if(!pCurDomain) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Failed at stage 4."), TEXT("Error"), MB_OK); } _bstr_t assemblyName = "ZAI, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9db2aaea0fceabbb"; _bstr_t typeName = "Injectee"; _ObjectHandle* pObjectHandle = 0; MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Loading DLL."), TEXT("Error"), MB_OK); pCurDomain->CreateInstance(assemblyName, typeName, &pObjectHandle); } </code></pre> <p>Any help?</p> <p>(Note, managed assembly is built against both architectures (target app is x64), has base namespace ZAI))</p> <p>Any advice is appreciated.</p> <p>(In case you're wondering, I'm trying to add an API to a freeware, closed-source .Net app)</p>
