Overwrite ntdll.dll's ".text" section using a clean version of the DLL.

It can help to evade security measures that install API hooks such as EDRs.

The unhooked version of the DLL can be obtained from:

• A DLL file already on disk - For example "C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll".
• The KnownDlls folder - "\KnownDlls\ntdll.dll" for 64-bit processes and "\KnownDlls32\ntdll.dll" for 32-bit processes.
• A process created in debug mode - Processes created in suspended or debug mode have a clean ntdll.dll.
• A URL - Similar to the first option, but the file is downloaded from a web server.

Get the clean ntdll.dll from disk. You can specify a file path or use the default value "C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll":

SharpNtdllOverwrite.exe disk [FILE_PATH]

Get the clean ntdll.dll from the KnownDlls folder:

SharpNtdllOverwrite.exe knowndlls

Get the clean ntdll.dll from a new process created with the DEBUG_PROCESS flag. You can specify a binary to create the process or use the default value "C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe":

SharpNtdllOverwrite.exe debugproc [BINARY_PATH]

Get the clean ntdll.dll from a URL. The default value is "http://127.0.0.1:80/ntdll.dll":
