## rd_route
Replace (aka «hook» or «override» or «route») implementation of any C function in runtime. Works on OS X with Mach-O binaries.

> Do not use this code. It can destroy everthing.
> But if you do, I wish you a luck.
**NOTE**: `rd_route` **won't work on iOS**. You should take a look at [`libevil`](https://github.com/landonf/libevil_patch) instead.

`rd_route` a tiny library for runtime replacing implementations of C functions in Mach-O executables.
I've created this library because [`mach_override`](https://github.com/rentzsch/mach_override) is dramatically **assembly-dependent** which means that you have to either [use some disassembler library](https://github.com/rentzsch/mach_override/commit/9261b8efc94b87c5c7ad906759179ecf127d01e6) with it, or hardcode every(?) known opcodes to properly patch a function's prologue. It's *a lot of fking work*, so I just leave it.
And let's be honest, `mach_override`'s code is quite old and ugly (IMO), but it rocks anyway.

The source code is based on Landon Fuller's (@landonf) gorgeous [`libevil`](https://github.com/landonf/libevil_patch) library.

**NOTE**: `rd_route` **won't work on iOS**. You should take a look at `libevil` instead.

## Exported functions

### rd_route()
`int rd_route(void *function, void *replacement, void **original_ptr)`

Override `function` to jump directly into `replacement` location. Caller can later access an original function's implementation via `original_ptr` (if passed).

##### Arguments
### Usage

Argument | Type (in/out) | Description
:--------: | :-----------: | :----------
`function` | in | _**(required)**_ pointer to a function to override
`replecement` | in| _**(required)**_ pointer to new implementation
`original_ptr` | out | *(optional)* will be set to an address of the original implementation's copy.

Note that `original_ptr` won't be equal to `function` due to remapping the latter into a different memory space.

##### Under the hood

1. It calls `rd_duplicate_function()` ([see below](#rd_duplicate_function)) to remap an entire macho image, containing the `function` to override, into a new memory address
2. The first bytes at `function` address are patched with a JMP instruction to the `replacement` address *(using a relative jump (0xE9) for i386 and an absolyte one (0xFF) for x86_64)*.
3. The `original` pointer (if passed) is set to the remapped location of the `function` implementation.

##### Usage
```c
#include <assert.h>
#include "rd_route.h"

static char* my_strerror(int err)
{
return "It's OK";
}

. . .

void *(*original)(int) = NULL;
int err = 2;

printf("Error(%d): %s", err, strerror(err));
// >> No such file or directory

rd_route(strerror, my_strerror, (void **)&original);

printf("Error(%d): %s", err, strerror(err));
// >> "It's OK"
printf("Error(%d): %s", err, original(err));
// >> No such file or directory
```
------
### rd_route_byname()
`int rd_route_byname(const char *function, const char *image, void *replacement, void **original);`
The same as `rd_route()`, but the target function is defined with its name, not its symbol pointer.
##### Arguments
Argument | Type (in/out) | Description
:--------: | :-----------: | :----------
`function` | in | _**(required)**_ name of a function to override
`image` | in| *(optional)* name of a mach-o image containing the function. It may be NULL, a full file path or just a file name (e.g. "CoreFoundation")
`replacement` | in | _**(required)**_ pointer to new implementation of the function
`original` | out | *(optional)* will be set to an address of the original implementation's copy
##### Under the hood
*See `rd_route()` for more information.*
If the `image_name` provided, `rd_route_byname()` looks for the function within it. Otherwise it iterates all images loaded into the current process' address space and, if there is more than one image containing a function with the specifed name, it will choose the first one.
##### Usage
```c
#include "rd_route.h"

static char* my_strerror(int err)
{
return "It's OK";
}

. . .
int main (void)
{

void *(*original)(int) = NULL;
int err = 2;
void *(*original)(int) = NULL;
int err = 2;

printf("Error(%d): %s", err, strerror(err));
// >> No such file or directory
printf("Error(%d): %s", err, strerror(err));
// >> No such file or directory

rd_route_byname("strerror", NULL, my_strerror, (void **)&original);
rd_route(strerror, my_strerror, (void **)&original);

// See if the patch works
assert(0 == strcmp("It's OK", strerror(err)));
// See if an original implementation is still available
assert(0 == strcmp("No such file or directory", original(err)));

printf("Error(%d): %s", err, strerror(err));
// >> "It's OK"
printf("Error(%d): %s", err, original(err));
// >> No such file or directory
return 0;
}
```

### rd_duplicate_function()
`int rd_duplicate_function(void *function, void **duplicate)`

Copy `function` implementation into another (first available) memory region.
### Integration
#### Using git submodules
##### Arguments
```bash
$ cd /your/project/path
$ git submodule add https://github.com/rodionovd/rd_route
```

Argument | Type (in/out) | Description
:--------: | :-----------: | :----------
`function` | in | _**(required)**_ pointer to a function to override
`duplicate` | out| _**(required)**_ will be set to an address of the function's implementation copy
#### Using CocoaPods

##### Under the hood
*Coming soon.*

1. Remaps an entire mach-o image (containing the `function` address) into some new location *(for now, it's just a first available memory space we can find)*.
2. Sets a `duplicate` pointer to address of the `function` symbol inside the duplicated mach-o image.

##### Usage
----

```c
#include <stdint.h>
#include "rd_route.h"
### But wait, we already have `mach_override` for this stuff

/* VIF */
static uint64_t very_important_function(uint64_t code)
{
return (code + code % 13);
}
I've created this library because [`mach_override`](https://github.com/rentzsch/mach_override) requires an external disassembler in order to work properly. For those of us who don't want another few thousands of lines of foreign code in their projects, the only option is to hard-code every function prologue they know in order to patch it correctly — which isn't a great alternative to have, to be honest.

. . .
### Credits

void *(*VIF_copy)(uint64_t) = NULL;
uint64_t code = 0xDEADBEAF;
/*
* We don't want to lose our VIF at any point so backup it.
*/
rd_duplicate_function(very_important_function, &VIF_copy);
* The source code is based on Landon Fuller's (@landonf) gorgeous [`libevil`](https://github.com/landonf/libevil_patch) library.

* I'm also glade we have Jonathan 'Wolf' Rentzsch out there with his classy [`mach_override`](https://github.com/rentzsch/mach_override) :+1:

if (very_important_function(code) != VIF_copy(code)) {
printf("Backup failed\n");
} else {
printf("You can now do whatever you want with original very_important_function()\n");
```
