mpclient: failed to resolve function

[taviso]

What is the output of dumpbin.exe /exports FiscalCode.dll?

Or, if you can't use dumpbin, you can type something like: objdump -x FiscalCode.dll | awk '/The Export Tables/,/The [^E]+ Table/ { print }'

[Samuel-Bie]

The output

$ objdump -x FiscalCode.dll | awk '/The Export Tables/,/The [^E]+ Table/ { print }'                                                                                                                       [18:38:05]

I don't know, it seems okay - can you share the DLL?

[Samuel-Bie]

Yes. I Can. The dropbox link here

[taviso]

Oh - it's an x86-64 dll, support for x86-64 is still experimental. You can try it if you like!

[Samuel-Bie]

OK, Checking

[Samuel-Bie]

But @taviso , how do i try x86-64, does this has its own brunch? I switched to x86-64 brunch and the last commit was 6 months ago.

[cube0x8]

@Samuel-Bie here the x64 branch: https://github.com/cube0x8/loadlibrary/tree/x64

[Samuel-Bie]

Trying it Today. Let u know about any issue.

[Samuel-Bie]

I was already running tests on that brunch https://github.com/cube0x8/loadlibrary/tree/x64 , but when running make i get the following error.

Hello @Samuel-Bie,

first of all, thank you for reporting these issues.
I realized I left some NASM dependency which is not necessary any longer. I removed it.

Please, pull the new modification I pushed on the x64 branch, clean the workspace (make clean) and try to build your target again.

Meanwhile, I will try it on my machine too with the DLL you shared.

[cube0x8]

So,

I downloaded your DLL and managed to load it and link it correctly.
Then, the DLL did some call to some MSVCRT.dll (the windows runtime) API, which are not implemented in loadlibrary, so it SIGSEGVs.

Here some suggestions:

1. please, when you compile your DLL, link the windows runtime statically in the binary. Here is an how-to for VS:

2. in the GetFiscalCode prototype, replace __stdcall with WINAPI:
   int WINAPI (*GetFiscalCode)(char *, char *, char *, char *, char *, char *, char *, char *, int);

3. You need to delcare the pe_image struct globally, so:
   struct pe_image image = {
.entry = NULL,
.name = "engine/FiscalCode.dll",
}; goes before the main, right after the include statements

Please, try the points above and let me know!

[cube0x8]

Hello @Samuel-Bie,

Did you manage to get your DLL working?

[cube0x8]

This can be considered closed, since I managed to load and link the library shared by @Samuel-Bie and there have not been other follow ups.
