21 I could be jumping in the middle here, but in what way doesn't it work?
22 This code works for me:
23
24 int bufLen = 256; // we suppose this is enough
25 void* sidBuf = new char[bufLen];
26 int sidLen = 0;
27
28 void* pToken = PsReferencePrimaryToken(PsGetCurrentProcess());
29 if (!pToken) ... error ...
30
31 NTSTATUS ntstatus = ObOpenObjectByPointer(pToken, 0, 0, TOKEN_QUERY,
32 0, KernelMode, &handle);
33 if (!NT_SUCCESS(ntstatus)) ... error ...
34
35 TOKEN_USER* user = static_cast<TOKEN_USER*>(sidBuf);
36 ULONG tokenInfoLen;
37 ntstatus = ZwQueryInformationToken(handle, TokenUser, user, bufLen,
38 &tokenInfoLen);
39 if (!NT_SUCCESS(ntstatus)) ... error ...
40
41 assert(tokenInfoLen <= bufLen); // else we would have got an error,
42 right?
43 assert(user->User.Sid == user+1); // SID is in buffer just past
44 TOKEN_USER structure
45
46 sidLen = tokenInfoLen - sizeof (TOKEN_USER);
47 memmove(sidBuf, user->User.Sid, sidLen); // shuffle down the buffer
48
49 Naturally, this returns the id of the thread that's running it.
50 If you execute this in DriverEntry, you're running in some
51 thread in the system process, which is not related to
52 the thread which executed the Win32 StartService call.
