    "description": "Process hollowing is a technique used by malware to evade detection by injecting malicious code into a legitimate process. This technique involves creating a new instance of a legitimate process and replacing its original code with the malicious payload. \r\n\r\nThe process is the following:\r\n\r\n* `CreateProcess`: in a suspended mode with the CreationFlag at 0x0000 0004.\r\n* `GetThreadContext`: retrieves the context of the specified thread.\r\n* `ZwUnmapViewOfSection`: Unmaps a view of a section from the virtual address space of a\r\nsubject process.\r\n* `VirtualAllocEx`: allocates memory within the suspended process’s address space.\r\n* `WriteProcessMemory`: writes data of the PE file into the memory just allocated within the\r\nsuspended process.\r\n* `SetThreadContext`: sets the EAX register to the entry point of the executable written.\r\n* `ResumeThread`: resumes the thread of the suspended process.",
