SMC Fuzzer

devnull's SMC read/write code, along with simple fuzz options.

This smc tool uses the AppleSMC IOKit interface and a userland API for interacting with the System Management Controller (Mac embedded controllers). The tool focuses on the SMC key/value API, but could be expanded to more API methods.

Help / Usage

$ ./smc -h
Apple System Management Control (SMC) tool 1.01
Usage:
./smc [options]
    -c <spell> : cast a spell
    -q         : attempt to discover 'hidden' keys
    -z         : fuzz all possible keys (or one key using -k)
    -f         : fan info decoded
    -h         : help
    -k <key>   : key to manipulate
    -l         : list all keys and values
    -r         : read the value of a key
    -w <value> : write the specified value to a key
    -v         : version

Discover unreported keys

Use the -q switch to brute force discover ((125-33)^4) readable keys.

Results

On a few Mac Pros this has found:

  CRDP  [flag]  (bytes 00)
  FPOR  [ch8*]  (bytes 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00)
  KPPW  [ch8*]  (bytes 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00)
  KPST  [ui8 ]  0 (bytes 00)
  MOJO  [ch8*]  (bytes 00)
  MSSN  [ui16]  5 (bytes 05)
  OSK0  [ch8*]
  OSK1  [ch8*]
  zCRS  [ui8 ]  (bytes 00)

OSK0 and OSK1 are the 64-byte binary protection key.

KPPW and KPST are protection inputs and status keys. Refer to Alex Ionescu's RECON 2014 talk and use the -c switch. Setting the correct key allows enumerating 'hidden' keys and mutating their values.

A bad time

Changing simple values as the super user will halt your machine. Example: if you set DUSR to 1 your machine will instant-halt.

$ make
$ sudo ./smc -z

A disappointing time

No value should be writable as a non-privileged user.

$ make
$ ./smc -z
