Hi, I'm trying to get process list with native api called NtQuerySystemInformation but seems I don't know enough C to translate is to asm. Here's code what I'm trying, could anyone help me how it should work ? Thank you.

Code:

format pe console 4.0
include 'win32ax.inc'
entry main

section '.data' data readable writeable

struct UNICODE_STRING
 Length          dw ?  
 MaximumLength   dw ?  
 Buffer          dd ?                    ; offset  
ends

struct   VM_COUNTERS
  
   PeakVirtualSize  dd ?                   
   VirtualSize     dd ? 
   PageFaultCount    dd ? 
   PeakWorkingSetSize  dd ?     
   WorkingSetSize      dd ? 
   QuotaPeakPagedPoolUsage  dd ?  
   QuotaPagedPoolUsage dd ? 
   QuotaPeakNonPagedPoolUsage  dd ?     
   QuotaNonPagedPoolUsage dd ?     
   PagefileUsage dd ? 
   PeakPagefileUsage dd ? 
ends

    BasePriority dd ?         ; base process priority 
    ProcessId dd ?             ; process identifier 
    ParentProcessId dd ? ; parent process identifier 
    HandleCount  dd ?          ; number of handles 
    Reserved2       db 2 dup (?)           
    VmCounters VM_COUNTERS
    IoCounters IO_COUNTERS
    Threads SYSTEM_THREAD_INFORMATION  
ends

sysinfo SYSTEM_PROCESS_INFORMATION
retaddr dd ?

section '.text' code readable executable

proc main
     mov [sysinfo.Next],0

     cinvoke printf,sysinfo.ProcessName.Buffer ;fail.
     cinvoke system,"PAUSE>NUL"
     mov eax,[sysinfo.Next]
     add [sysinfo.Next],eax
     jmp @b ;just testing, don't need loop.
     ret
endp

section '.idata' import data readable

as I said, I'm doing it just in testing case, I don't care about ExitProcess for now.

If i remember correctly the SystemInformationLength parameter passed to NtQuerySystemInformation has to be the length needed by the function to return the entire record of all processes, u have to call it once, and use the value returned in ReturnLength parameter to create the right size buffer, and call it again with the needed buffer size.

Check the return value of NtQuereySystemInformation, and check NTStatus.h codes

Where are you getting that struct from. This is what I found on MSDN:

Code:

typedef struct _SYSTEM_PROCESS_INFORMATION {
    ULONG NextEntryOffset;
    BYTE Reserved1[52];
    PVOID Reserved2[3];
    HANDLE UniqueProcessId;
    PVOID Reserved3;
    ULONG HandleCount;
    BYTE Reserved4[4];
    PVOID Reserved5[11];
    SIZE_T PeakPagefileUsage;
    SIZE_T PrivatePageCount;
    LARGE_INTEGER Reserved6[6];
} SYSTEM_PROCESS_INFORMATION;

I was using struct as buffer argument, my bad. I'll try to code better tomorow.

typedef

works well in C.

Also here:

Code:

cinvoke printf,[sysinfo.ProcessName.Buffer]

I doubt the process name is a maximum of 3 characters, so you will likely need the enclosing brackets (as I show above) to point to the proper address.
