XSL Script Processing Defense Evasion [Mitre]

Adversaries may bypass application control and obscure execution of code by embedding scripts inside XSL files. Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) files are commonly used to describe the processing and rendering of data within XML files. To support complex operations, the XSL standard includes support for embedded scripting in various languages.

Adversaries may abuse this functionality to execute arbitrary files …

Process Argument Spoofing Process Manipulating

Process Argument Spoofing is a technique used by attackers to hide their true intentions by changing the command line arguments of a process after it has started.

SLDT, No Pill Sandbox Evasion

The No Pill technique is a method used by malware to determine whether it is running on a physical machine or a virtual machine. This technique relies on the fact that the Local Descriptor Table (LDT) is assigned to a processor, rather than to an operating system. On a physical machine, the location of the LDT will be zero, whereas …

IsDebugged Flag Anti-Debugging

While a process is running, the location of the PEB can be referenced by the location fs:[30h]. For anti-debugging, malware will use that location to check the BeingDebugged flag, which indicates whether the specified process is being debugged.

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 …

FIleless Mechanisms Process Manipulating

Fileless malware is a type of malware that is designed to reside and execute entirely in the memory of a host system, without leaving any trace on the local disk. This can make it more difficult for security tools to detect and remove the malware, as it does not leave any files on the system that can be scanned or …

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 …

Thread Execution Hijacking Process Manipulating

Thread execution hijacking is a technique used by malware to evade detection by targeting an existing thread of a process and avoiding any noisy process or thread creation operations. This technique allows the malware to run its code within the context of the targeted thread, without creating new processes or threads, which can be easily detected by security software.

Atom Bombing Process Manipulating

Atom Bombing is a technique that utilizes Windows Atom Tables, which provide a global storage mechanism for strings, to inject malicious code into a target process.

The technique involves storing a shellcode in an Atom Table, then using the NtQueueApcThread function to force the targeted process to access the specific Atom, causing the injection to occur. To bypass Data …

Propagate Process Manipulating

This technique involves modifying the internal properties of a window in order to intercept and modify or monitor the behavior of the window when it receives messages. To do this, an application creates a buffer containing shellcode and injects it into the target process.

Then, it modifies the internal structure used by the specific properties, such as UxSubclassInfo and …
