Evasion using direct Syscalls Antivirus/EDR Evasion
In the Windows operating system, conventional malware frequently utilizes strategies involving the invocation of specific functions from the kernel32.dll library, such as VirtualAlloc
, VirtualProtect
, and CreateThread
. A closer inspection of the call stack reveals that the functions employed from kernel32.dll eventually trigger corresponding functions within the ntdll.dll library. This is facilitated by the ntdll.dll library, which serves …
ProcEnvInjection - Remote code injection by abusing process environment strings Process Manipulating
This method allows to inject custom code into a remote process without using WriteProcessMemory
- It will use the lpEnvironment
parameter in CreateProcess
to copy the code into the target process. This technique can be used to load a DLL into a remote process, or simply execute a block of code.
The lpEnvironment
parameter in CreateProcess
allows us to specify …
Process Doppelgänging Process Manipulating
This technique leverages the Transactional NTFS
functionality in Windows. This functionality helps maintain data integrity during an unexpected error. For example, when an application needs to write or modify a file, if an error is triggered mid-write, the data can be corrupted. To avoid this kind of behavior, an application can open the file in a transactional mode to perform …
Process Herpaderping Process Manipulating
Process Herpaderping is a method of obscuring the intentions of a process by modifying the content on a disk after the image has been mapped. This results in curious behavior by security products and the OS itself.
To abuse this convention, we first write a binary to a target file on a disk. Then, we map an image of the …
Shellcode Injection via CreateThreadpoolWait Process Manipulating
Shellcode injection is a technique used by malware to execute arbitrary code within the context of a targeted process. One method of achieving this is through the use of the CreateThreadpoolWait
function, which is a part of the Windows thread pool API.
In the context of shellcode injection, CreateThreadpoolWait
is used to create a wait object that is associated with …
DLL Injection via CreateRemoteThread and LoadLibrary Process Manipulating
DLL Injection Via CreateRemoteThread
and LoadLibrary
is a technique used by malware to inject its code into a legitimate process. This technique is similar to hook injection, where the malware inserts a malicious DLL to be used by the system. It is one of the most common techniques used to inject malware into another process.
The malware writes the path …
SuspendThread Anti-Debugging
Suspending threads is a technique used by malware to disable user-mode debuggers and make it more difficult for security analysts to reverse engineer and analyze the code. This can be achieved by using the SuspendThread
function from the kernel32.dll library or the NtSuspendThread
function from the NTDLL.DLL library.
The malware can enumerate the threads of a given process, or search …
NtSetInformationThread Anti-Debugging
NtSetInformationThread can be used to hide threads from debuggers using the ThreadHideFromDebugger
ThreadInfoClass
(0x11
/ 17
). This is intended to be used by an external process, but any thread can use it on itself.
After the thread is hidden from the debugger, it will continue running but the debugger won’t receive events related to this thread. This thread …
