here is the code where i wanted to set the affinity to cpu1, but it fails

Code:


dwcpu1 dd 0x1 -> data

code
invoke SetProcessAffinityMask,[hProcess],dwcpu1

but the same above works for dwcpu0 dd 0x0 , here is the affinity was changed to cpu 0.

but i am getting invalid operand for dword value of "1" ?!

I think you need it like this:

Code:

invoke SetProcessAffinityMask,[hProcess],[dwcpu1]

Code:

BOOL WINAPI SetProcessAffinityMask(
  __in  HANDLE hProcess,
  __in  DWORD_PTR dwProcessAffinityMask
);

but i tried debugging with ollydbg by changing and using both of these instruction,

Code:

invoke SetProcessAffinityMask,[hProcess],[dwcpu1]


invoke SetProcessAffinityMask,[hProcess],dwcpu

both instruction set the last error as -> ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER(57)

here i am using GetCurrentProcess to get the handle to the process.

My Win32 doc has this:

Code:

   BOOL SetProcessAffinityMask(

    HANDLE hProcess,     // handle to process
    DWORD dwProcessAffinityMask // process affinity mask
   );

Quote:

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero

You are right , but i am still getting the same error, here is the stack before the call was made

Code:

0007FFBC              FFFFFFFF  |Arg1 = FFFFFFFF
0007FFC0              00000000  \Arg2 = 00000000

but i am getting invalid parameter error, i am also using GetCurrnetProcess.i am not sure where i am going wrong here ?!

here is the error

Code:

ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER (00000057)

You can't set an affinity mask of 0. You have to have at least one CPU selected in the mask. Try a value of 1 and see if you get the same error.

When using dwcpu0 dd 0x0, no errors.
When using dwcpu1 dd 0x1, error.

This works for me:

Code:

format PE GUI 4.0
entry start

include 'win32a.inc'

section '.data' readable executable

dwcpu1 dd 0x1

section '.text' code readable executable

start:
    invoke  GetCurrentProcess
   invoke  SetProcessAffinityMask,eax,[dwcpu1]
 stdcall ShowLastError,HWND_DESKTOP
  invoke  ExitProcess,0

proc ShowErrorMessage hWnd,dwError
  local lpBuffer:DWORD
       lea     eax,[lpBuffer]
      invoke  FormatMessage,FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER+FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM,0,[dwError],LANG_NEUTRAL,eax,0,0
    invoke  MessageBox,[hWnd],[lpBuffer],NULL,MB_ICONERROR+MB_OK
        invoke  LocalFree,[lpBuffer]
        ret
endp

; VOID ShowLastError(HWND hWnd);

proc ShowLastError hWnd
  invoke  GetLastError
        stdcall ShowErrorMessage,[hWnd],eax
 ret
endp

section '.idata' import data readable writeable

  library kernel,'KERNEL32.DLL',\
      user,'USER32.DLL'

  import kernel,\
      GetLastError,'GetLastError',\
    SetLastError,'SetLastError',\
    FormatMessage,'FormatMessageA',\
         LocalFree,'LocalFree',\
  GetCurrentProcess,'GetCurrentProcess',\
  SetProcessAffinityMask,'SetProcessAffinityMask',\
        ExitProcess,'ExitProcess'

  import user,\
         MessageBox,'MessageBoxA'

I tried your program , but i am getting following error

"The Specified module could not be found"

when tried to debug i found that EP the error was set as

"ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND (0000007E)" - this is causing the issue.
