Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
Not sure when this happened, but probably during the added support for Unicode/XE, with the latest madKernel, Process.Handles.Items.KernelObj.Objname are now empty when running in Windows XP.
Re: Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
Can you post some sample code with which I can reproduce the problem, please?
Re: Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
P.S: Just tried the following code and it worked just fine on my XPSP3 PC. Tested with both Delphi 7 and XE2:
Code: Select all
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var s1, s2 : AnsiString;
i1 : integer;
begin
s1 := '';
with Process('calc.exe').Handles do
for i1 := 0 to ItemCount - 1 do begin
s2 := Items[i1].KernelObj.ObjName;
if s2 <> '' then
s1 := s1 + s2 + #$D#$A;
end;
MessageBoxA(0, PAnsiChar(s1), 'info', 0);
end;
Re: Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
Using this code:
Run on win7 works, run on a XP results in empty names:

I just noticed something really odd though:
I tried other code to retrieve the names, which does work in both XP and W7, and.. if I run that code, then madKernel's without closing the program, it works from then on while the app is running oO

Code: Select all
procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
Var a: integer;
b: string;
begin
Memo1.Clear;
Memo1.Lines.BeginUpdate;
with Process('vlc.exe').Handles do
for a := 0 to ItemCount - 1 do
with Items[a] do
begin
if not IsValid then Continue;
if not (ObjType in [otFile]) then Continue;
b := KernelObj.ObjName;
if b = '' then Continue;
Memo1.Lines.Add(b);
end;
Memo1.Lines.EndUpdate;
end;

Re: Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
Then it's probably a privilege problem. Just try enabling all privileges first:
Code: Select all
var PrivilegesEnabled : boolean = false;
procedure EnableAllPrivileges;
type TTokenPrivileges = record
PrivilegeCount : dword;
Privileges : array [0..maxInt shr 4 - 1] of TLUIDAndAttributes;
end;
var token : THandle;
c2 : dword;
i1 : integer;
ptp : ^TTokenPrivileges;
begin
if PrivilegesEnabled then
exit;
if OpenProcessToken(windows.GetCurrentProcess, TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES or TOKEN_QUERY, token) then
try
c2 := 0;
GetTokenInformation(token, TokenPrivileges, nil, 0, c2);
if c2 <> 0 then begin
ptp := pointer(LocalAlloc(LPTR, c2 * 2));
if GetTokenInformation(token, TokenPrivileges, ptp, c2 * 2, c2) then begin
for i1 := 0 to integer(ptp^.PrivilegeCount) - 1 do
ptp^.Privileges[i1].Attributes := ptp^.Privileges[i1].Attributes or SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED;
AdjustTokenPrivileges(token, false, PTokenPrivileges(ptp)^, c2, PTokenPrivileges(nil)^, dword(pointer(nil)^));
end;
LocalFree(HLOCAL(ptp));
end;
finally CloseHandle(token) end;
PrivilegesEnabled := true;
end;
Re: Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
Nice, it works now! I had actually a proc in the other code to enable privs. but didn't think of that, since the other code was working without enabling them first.
Anyway while we are on this, do you mind a couple related things to this:
1) It might be good to modify the code at GetHandleTableNt to loop the call until it succeeds, as per info from http://forum.sysinternals.com/howto-enu ... 18892.html
($C0000004 = STATUS_INFO_LENGTH_MISMATCH)
2) Filenames with Unicode return with garbage, for example "123★456" comes up as "123?456". Any way to fix that?
Thanks.

Maybe rather than re-sizing the buffer once we could do something likeAn unusual aspect of calling NtQuerySystemInformation with SystemHandleInformation is that if you supply a buffer which is too small, it returns STATUS_INFO_LENGTH_MISMATCH (0xc0000004) instead of giving you the correct buffer size in ReturnLength. This means you will have to guess the buffer size. A common technique is to call NtQuerySystemInformation in a loop until it succeeds with STATUS_SUCCESS (0), reallocating and doubling the buffer size each time it fails with STATUS_INFO_LENGTH_MISMATCH.
Code: Select all
function GetHandleTableNt : TNtHandleTable;
var c1 : cardinal;
p1 : pointer;
r: Cardinal;
begin
result.ItemCount := 0;
result.Items := nil;
if @NtQuerySystemInformation = nil then
NtQuerySystemInformation := GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle(ntdll), 'NtQuerySystemInformation');
dword(p1) := LocalAlloc(LPTR, 20);
try
c1 := 0;
r := NtQuerySystemInformation(16, p1, 20, @c1);
LocalFree(dword(p1));
//dword(p1) := LocalAlloc(LPTR, c1 * 2);
while r = $C0000004 do begin
dword(p1) := LocalAlloc(LPTR, c1 * 2);
r := NtQuerySystemInformation(16, p1, c1 * 2, @c1)
end;
//if NtQuerySystemInformation(16, p1, c1 * 2, nil) = 0 then begin
if r = 0 then begin
result.ItemCount := TPInteger(p1)^;
SetLength(result.Items, result.ItemCount);
Move(pointer(integer(p1) + 4)^, pointer(result.Items)^, result.ItemCount * sizeOf(TNtHandleItem));
end;
finally LocalFree(dword(p1)) end;
end;

Re: Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
I'm already looping NtQuerySystemInformation if it doesn't return the needed buffer size.
The current madKernel version is still not converted to Unicode and/or x64. I will probably do the conversion at some point in the future, but it's currently not very high on my priority list.

Re: Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
There's only 1 extra call in the original code
Code: Select all
function GetHandleTableNt : TNtHandleTable;
var c1 : cardinal;
p1 : pointer;
begin
result.ItemCount := 0;
result.Items := nil;
if @NtQuerySystemInformation = nil then
NtQuerySystemInformation := GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle(ntdll), 'NtQuerySystemInformation');
dword(p1) := LocalAlloc(LPTR, 20);
try
c1 := 0;
NtQuerySystemInformation(16, p1, 20, @c1);
LocalFree(dword(p1));
dword(p1) := LocalAlloc(LPTR, c1 * 2);
if NtQuerySystemInformation(16, p1, c1 * 2, nil) = 0 then begin
result.ItemCount := TPInteger(p1)^;
SetLength(result.Items, result.ItemCount);
Move(pointer(integer(p1) + 4)^, pointer(result.Items)^, result.ItemCount * sizeOf(TNtHandleItem));
end;
finally LocalFree(dword(p1)) end;
end;
Re: Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
Ah sorry, I looked in the wrong unit...
Anyway, the code works, doesn't it? I've not had any reports that it would fail on any OS. My solution is different to that suggested by your link, but what does it matter if it works? There are often multiple solutions to one problem.

Re: Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
Yeah never had it fail besides this XP issue earlier, but just out of safety.. idk. In other tests with different code the call fails randomly, sometimes once, sometimes up to 3 times, although incrementing the size only 1kb each iteration. I guess 2x is never gonna have an issue. Pretty lame that microsoft never documented this.
Re: Process Handles Objname empty in Win XP
Well, if that quote "An unusual aspect of calling NtQuerySystemInformation with SystemHandleInformation is that if you supply a buffer which is too small, it returns STATUS_INFO_LENGTH_MISMATCH (0xc0000004) instead of giving you the correct buffer size in ReturnLength" were true, my code would fail, every time, on every OS. That is not the case, so obviously that quote is totally incorrect.
Anyway, if you can reproduce a situation where my code fails, please let me know and I will look into it.
