LiefAddSectionModifer (Modifier)

modify(self, resource, config) async

Modify the given resource.

Users should not call this method directly; rather, they should run Resource.run.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
resource Resource required
config LiefAddSectionModifierConfig

Optional config for modification. If an implementation provides a default, this default will always be used when config would otherwise be None. Note that a copy of the default config will be passed, so the default config values cannot be modified persistently by a component run.

required
Source code in ofrak/core/elf/lief_modifier.py
async def modify(self, resource: Resource, config: LiefAddSectionModifierConfig):
    binary: lief.ELF.Binary = lief.parse(await resource.get_data())
    section: lief.ELF.Section = lief.ELF.Section()
    section.name = config.name
    section.content = list(config.content)
    section.flags = config.flags
    binary.add(section)

    with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile() as temp_file:
        binary.write(temp_file.name)
        temp_file.flush()
        with open(temp_file.name, "rb") as f_handle:
            new_data = f_handle.read()
    # replace all old content (old range) with new content from Lief
    resource.queue_patch(Range(0, await resource.get_data_length()), new_data)

LiefAddSectionModifierConfig (ComponentConfig) dataclass

LiefAddSectionModifierConfig(name: str, content: bytes, flags: int)

LiefAddSegmentConfig (ComponentConfig) dataclass

Config for the LiefAddSegmentModifier.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
virtual_address int

virtual address of the new segment

alignment int

alignment of the new segment

content List[int]

list of integers representing the raw bytes of the new segment

rwx_flags str

string representation of the new segment's R/W/X permissions

replace_note bool

replace the unused NOTE segment with the new segment, rather than adding a new segment. defaults to True, as adding a new segment may corrupt the ELF due to a LIEF bug.

physical_address Optional[int]

overwrite the default physical address (defaults to the virtual address)

LiefAddSegmentModifier (Modifier)

modify(self, resource, config) async

config LiefAddSegmentConfig

Optional config for modification. If an implementation provides a default, this default will always be used when config would otherwise be None. Note that a copy of the default config will be passed, so the default config values cannot be modified persistently by a component run.
