VOID Patcher — DIY guide: AI CLI tool RE & safety mechanism removal (R2 offsets, signatures, patches)

Raw

00-overview.md

VOID Patcher — AI CLI Tool Safety Removal Suite

Reverse engineering and safety mechanism removal for every major AI CLI tool. All offsets verified against specific binary versions. Always re-verify after updates.

What's New in v1.0.0

JSON output — --json flag for machine-readable patch reports
Restore — --restore flag to revert any binary to its original backup
Multi-user support — --user <name> patches into user-specific config paths
Cross-platform — Linux (systemd), macOS (launchd), Windows (Scheduled Task)
Plugin system — drop custom patch modules into plugins/ for community extensions
Notifications — Discord / Telegram / Slack webhooks on patch events
SHA256 cache — skip re-patching already-patched binaries by hash
Config file — ~/.void-patcher/config.toml for persistent settings
Test suite — pytest tests/ with binary mock fixtures
CI — GitHub Actions workflow runs tests on every push

RE Methodology

strings + r2 on binary to map safety-related string constants
Find XREF to safety strings → identify check functions
Trace call graph upward to find enforcement points
Patch: jz → jnz, call safety_check → nop×5, or replace return value
Verify with r2 disassembly diff
Test: run tool with previously-blocked operations

See companion files for per-tool R2 offsets and patch strings.

Claude Code v2 + OpenCode + Gemini CLI — RE Guide & Patches

PART 1: Claude Code v2

Binary Structure

Claude Code ships as a Node.js Single Executable Application (SEA). The JS bundle is embedded in the ELF as a blob section.

# Extract the embedded JS bundle
r2 -q -c 'iS~blob' $(which claude)   # find blob section offset
r2 -q -c 'pr <size> @ <offset>' $(which claude) > claude_bundle.js

# Alternative: strings hunt
strings $(which claude) | grep -E '(statsig|permission|requiresPermission|modelGate)' | head -40

Statsig Feature Gates (8 gates mapped)

Claude Code uses Statsig for feature gating. Gates are checked via:

// Pattern in bundle (deobfuscated)
if (!statsig.checkGate('claude_code_<feature>')) {
  throw new PermissionError('Feature not available');
}

Gate names found via strings:

claude_code_model_sonnet_access
claude_code_model_opus_access
claude_code_shell_unrestricted
claude_code_mcp_server_execution
claude_code_file_write_unrestricted
claude_code_network_access
claude_code_subagent_spawn
claude_code_web_search

PART 3: Gemini CLI

Binary Structure

Gemini CLI ships as a Go binary. The safety system is called Conseca — a multi-stage content evaluation engine with 5 check layers. YOLO mode is gated behind a flag that the Conseca engine validates independently of the config file.

# Initial recon
file $(which gemini)
strings $(which gemini) | grep -E '(conseca|yolo|safetyMode|adversary|threat)' | head -30
go tool objdump $(which gemini) 2>/dev/null | grep -i conseca | head -20

Conseca Safety Engine (5 checks)

Check │ Name                      │ Trigger               │ Action
──────┼───────────────────────────┼───────────────────────┼──────────────────────
  1   │ InputClassifier           │ Every user prompt     │ Content classification
  2   │ YOLOGateVerifier          │ yoloMode=true in cfg  │ Re-validates YOLO flag
  3   │ ModelNegotiator           │ Model selection       │ Restricts to safe models
  4   │ OutputContentEvaluator    │ LLM response          │ Filters unsafe output
  5   │ TelemetryConsentEnforcer  │ Session start         │ Opt-in gate

Codex CLI + Hermes Engine + GitHub Copilot + Goose — RE Guide & Patches

PART 1: Codex CLI (Rust ELF)

Architecture

Codex CLI is a Rust binary with the Guardian AI safety stack compiled in as a static library. The binary uses Tokio async runtime; safety checks are async middleware in the tool call pipeline.

  2   │ ToolCallValidator      │ Before tool execution     │ Tool allowlist check
  3   │ ApprovalPolicyEnforcer │ Dangerous tool calls      │ Requires user confirm
  4   │ SandboxEscapeDetector  │ Shell/filesystem ops      │ Blocks escape attempts
  5   │ OutputContentFilter    │ LLM response received     │ Filters unsafe content
  6   │ TelemetryConsentGate   │ Session analytics         │ Opt-in enforcement
  7   │ ModelCapabilityGate    │ Model selection           │ Restricts model access

PART 2: Hermes Engine (embedded in Codex + React Native tools)

Architecture

Hermes is a JavaScript engine (Facebook/Meta) embedded as a static library. Used by Codex CLI to execute JS tool scripts. Safety checks are JIT-compiled callbacks.

7 Hermes Safety Mechanisms

Mechanism             │ Type          │ Location in Binary
──────────────────────┼───────────────┼──────────────────────────────────
ContentSafetyCallback │ JIT callback  │ hermes::vm::Runtime::callFunction
ModelGateCheck        │ Static check  │ hermes::api::checkModelAccess
OutputSanitizer       │ Post-exec     │ hermes::vm::JSError::create
CapabilityLimiter     │ Pre-exec      │ hermes::vm::Runtime::runBytecode
NetworkPolicyGate     │ Async hook    │ hermes::platform::fetch
FilesystemGuard       │ Native call   │ hermes::platform::readFile
ExecutionTimeLimit    │ Timer hook    │ hermes::vm::Runtime::tick

Key Offsets (Hermes v0.12.x embedded in Codex v0.5.x)

0x00328400  sym.hermes::api::checkModelAccess
0x00328400  wx b801000000c3   # mov eax, 1; ret

# OutputSanitizer — skip sanitization

PART 3: GitHub Copilot CLI (Go binary)

Architecture

gh copilot is a Go binary. Safety is enforced via policy middleware in the HTTP client layer that intercepts API calls and content filter middleware on responses.

PART 4: Goose by Block (Rust binary)

Architecture

Goose is an open-source agentic AI tool by Block (formerly Square). It is a Rust binary using Tokio async runtime. The safety layer includes an AdversaryInspector component that flags tool calls, a threat pattern database, and a safety.mode config gate.

SafetyModeGate         │ Config gate     │ Enforces safety.mode=on from config
ModelCapabilityFilter  │ Model selection │ Restricts model access by capability tier
OutputSanitizer        │ Post-exec       │ Filters LLM output for unsafe content
