.NET 7 的 AOT 到底能不能扛反编译？
一：背景
在B站，公众号上发了一篇 AOT 的文章后，没想到反响还是挺大的，都称赞这个东西能抗反编译，可以让破解难度极大提高，可能有很多朋友对逆向不了解，以为用 ILSpy,Reflector,DnSpy 这些工具打不开就觉得很安全，其实不然，在 OllyDbg,IDA,WinDBG 这些逆向工具面前一样是裸奔。
既然大家都很感兴趣，那这篇就和大家聊一聊。
二：几个例子
修改程序数据在逆向中再正常不过了，由于目前的 AOT 只能发布成 x64 ，这里就用 WinDbg 做下演示，首先看下例子。
internal class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
while (true)
{
Console.WriteLine("hello world!");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
}
}
程序在不断的输出，接下来我们将 hello world 中的 world 给去掉，操作手法非常简单，先内存搜索找到 hello world，然后修改 length=5 即可。
0:005> lm
start end module name
00007ff7`95b70000 00007ff7`95e5d000 ConsoleApp1 C (private pdb symbols)

0:000> eq 00007ff7`95e1c418 00650068`00000005
0:000> g
AOT 再怎么牛，它终还是个托管程序，既然是托管程序自然就有托管堆，托管堆中就有所有的托管数据，玩过 SOS.dll 朋友应该知道，用 !eeheap -gc 就能把托管堆给显示出来，比如下面这样。
0:022> !eeheap -gc
Number of GC Heaps: 1
generation 0 starts at 0x000002414D891030

------------------------------

GC Committed Heap Size: Size: 0x42000 (270336) bytes.
虽然目前的 AOT 不支持 SOS 扩展，无法显示出托管堆，但一点关系都没有，SOS 是通过 DataAccess 去挖的，大不来我手工挖一下就好了哈，接下来就是怎么挖的问题了，熟悉 CLR 的朋友应该知道所谓的托管堆在内部用的是 generation_table[] 一维数据来维护的，以 代 的方式来划分，代的落地是用 heap_segment 来表示的， 参考代码如下：
generation gc_heap::generation_table [total_generation_count];
enum gc_generation_num
{
// small object heap includes generations [0-2], which are "generations" in the general sense.
soh_gen0 = 0,
soh_gen1 = 1,
soh_gen2 = 2,
max_generation = soh_gen2,
// large object heap, technically not a generation, but it is convenient to represent it as such
loh_generation = 3,
// pinned heap, a separate generation for the same reasons as loh
poh_generation = 4,
uoh_start_generation = loh_generation,
// number of ephemeral generations
ephemeral_generation_count = max_generation,
// number of all generations
total_generation_count = poh_generation + 1
};
接下来用 x 命令看下数组内容，代码如下：
0:000> x ConsoleApp1!WKS::gc_heap::generation_table
00007ff7`95e25010 ConsoleApp1!WKS::gc_heap::generation_table = class WKS::generation [5]

...

...
上面的这些字段就描述出了 !eeheap -gc 的结果，接下来想挖什么，提取什么我就不过多介绍了。
提取 托管线程 列表也是非常重要的, 它能指示出很多信息，一般用 !t 命令就能显示，输出如下：
0:022> !t

BackgroundThread: 6

既然目前的 SOS 不支持，同样可以手工到 CLR 中去挖，熟悉的朋友应该知道 !t 的数据源来自于 ThreadStore::s_pThreadStore 下的 m_ThreadList 集合，它以链表的形式串联了每个线程的 LinkPtr 字段，但可惜的是，在 AOT 中，这一块已经重写了，由 g_pTheRuntimeInstance 全局变量下的 m_ThreadList 来维护了。
为了方便观察，多生成几个 Thread。
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Debugger.Break();
var tasks = Enumerable.Range(0, 10).Select(m => new Thread(() =>
{
Console.WriteLine($"tid={Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId} 已执行！");
Console.ReadLine();
}));
foreach (var item in tasks)
{
item.Start();
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
程序跑起来后，深挖 g_pTheRuntimeInstance 全局变量即可。

从CLR 的 Thread 维护的信息来看，这个结构体已经很小了，也说明 AOT 在Thread信息维护上做了很多的精简。
三：总结
总的来说，AOT 确实能加速程序的初始启动，一体化的打包机制也非常方便部署，但怎么变终究还是一个托管程序，需要底层的 C++ 托着它，扛 反编译 无从谈起，所以防小人的话，该加壳的加壳，该混淆的混淆。
