What is a TCP segment?

A TCP segment is a unit of data transferred between sessions connected by TCP.

https://slideplayer.com/slide/4228138/

Find the size of a TCP segment

  • TCP payload segment size = (Total Length of IP Header)-(Header Length of IP Header)-(Header Length of TCP Header)

TCP segment size issues

  • The size of the TCP segment is directly related to the performance problem of the TCP connection line.
  • If the size of the TCP segment is too small, the data capacity will be small, and frequent transmission will occur, making it inefficient.
  • Conversely, if the size of the TCP segment becomes too large, it becomes more than the size of MTU, and IP fragmentation occurs, making it inefficient. (Frequent fragmentation is inefficient)

What is the proper size of the TCP segment?

  • min (transmission buffer size, reception buffer size, MTU size, path MTU size)-header size
  • In general, it is common to see the size of the same receive buffer as the TCP module as a limit.

Enabling Com Port on Hyper-V 2nd Generation VM / Windbg

Image
To test the UEFI boot environment, I created a second generation virtual machine in Hyper-V. And I had to configure the Com port to attach the kernel debugger.  However, the Com Port device was not visible in the 2nd generation Hyper-V VM.  Invisible Com port device Hyper-V 2nd generation VM must be assigned a pipe to the Com port to be visible in the device list. 1. VM termination First, shut down the VM before working. 2. Run as Powrshell administrator Detailed configuration of Hyper-V VM can be done through Powershell command.  Run Powershell with administrator privileges.  3. set-vmcomport  Run the following command to activate the com port. set -vmcomport -vmname [VM이름] -number [COM포트번호] [파이프이름] To check the COM port to which the pipe is assigned, execute the following command. get -vmcomport -vmname [VM이름] The following is an example of command execution.  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/hyper-v/set-vmcomport?view=win10-ps

DLL Injection using CreateRemoteThread in Windows 10

Image
DLL Injection using CreateRemoteThread One of the methods of DLL injection is to create a RemoteThread and load the desired DLL into the target process.  This is one of the simplest and most widely used methods.  CreateRemoteThread You can create a thread in another process using the API. CreateRemoteThread If you browse on MSDN, you'll see the following in Remarks: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-createremotethread   CreateRemoteThread function (processthreadsapi.h)-Win32 apps Creates a thread that runs in the virtual address space of another process. docs.microsoft.com Terminal Services isolates each terminal session by design.  Therefore,  CreateRemoteThread  fails if the target process is in a different session than the calling process. In translation, Terminal Services Pros say that if the target process is running in a different session, it will fail because the session is specified and executed

Using Overlapped I / O in DeviceIoControl

Image
Using Overlapped I / O in DeviceIoControl Various methods can be used, such as  synchronizing with events and continuously receiving events through polling, to monitor the frequent events in the kernel driver one by one in user mode  . Scenario in question Imagine that you continue to receive events with relatively simple polling.  The kernel driver queues the event that occurred, and the user mode application issues the IOCTL to retrieve the contents of the queue.  In this type of logic, the user-mode application will  While execute the same loop as  DeviceIoControl and will continue to communicate with the driver by calling. while ( true ) { BOOL ret = DeviceIoControl(hDevice, IOCTL_RECV, &data, sizeof (DATA), 0 , 0 ,&dwReturn, NULL ); if (ret) { // 처리.. } } DeviceIoControl Blocking 발생 In the previously used logic,  DeviceIoControl blocking occurs  until an event occurs in the kernel driver  .  DeviceIoControl Blocking occurs in the user m
