    "description": "Dll injection through registry modification of NLS code page ID is a technique used by malware to inject a malicious DLL into a process by modifying the NLS code page ID in the registry.\r\n\r\nThere are two ways to accomplish this technique:\r\n1. Calling the `SetThreadLocale` function and setting up an export function named `NlsDllCodePageTranslation`, where the main payload is located.\r\n2. Using the `SetConsoleCp` or `SetConsoleOutputCP` functions to modify the code page ID. If the process is not console-based, it is possible to allocate a console using the `AllocConsole` function.",
