Entry Point Modification Process Manipulating

The entry point is the starting point of an executable file during execution. Some malware use techniques such as changing or relocating the real entry point to protect their code from analysis. This makes it difficult for security software to identify and detect the malware as the code is not executed in the usual way.

Constant Blinding Data Obfuscation

Constant blinding can be employed by malware authors to obfuscate their malicious code, making it harder for security researchers and antivirus software to detect and analyze the malware. By using constant blinding techniques, the malware code can be concealed, increasing its chances of evading detection and maintaining persistence on the target system.

Here's how constant blinding can be utilized …

Retrieve HDD Information Sandbox Evasion

Malware can figure out if it's in a virtual environment by checking hard drive info. It looks for specific details like serial and model numbers. This is easier to spot in VirtualBox because it shows clues that it's running in a virtual space.

Malware uses this trick to avoid getting caught. It does this by using a special command …

Disabling Antivirus Antivirus/EDR Evasion

Some forms of malware are programmed to disable antivirus software and evade detection by security measures. These malicious programs can use specific commands or techniques to undermine the antivirus software's effectiveness and remain hidden from detection..

Interrupts Anti-Debugging

Adversaries may use exception-based anti-debugging techniques to detect whether their code is being executed in a debugger. These techniques rely on the fact that most debuggers will trap exceptions and not immediately pass them to the process being debugged for handling.

By triggering an exception and checking whether it is handled properly, the adversary's code can determine whether it …

Opcode Obfuscation Anti-Disassembly

Opcode obfuscation is an anti-disassembling technique that involves modifying the opcodes of a program's machine language instructions in order to make it more difficult for a disassembler to accurately reconstruct the original instructions. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as by using equivalent but different opcodes for the same operation, by adding additional instructions or data …

Disassembly Desynchronization Anti-Disassembly

Disassembly desynchronization is a technique that is used to prevent disassemblers from accurately reconstructing the original instructions of a program. It involves the creative use of instructions and data in a way that breaks the normal, predictable sequence of instructions in a program. This can cause disassemblers to become "desynchronized" and generate incorrect disassembly output.

For example, suppose a …

Process Camouflage, Masquerading Process Manipulating

Masquerading is a technique used by malware to evade detection by disguising itself as a legitimate file. This is typically achieved by renaming the malicious file to match the name of a commonly found and trusted file, such as svchost.exe, and placing it in a legitimate folder.

Masquerading can occur when the name or location of an executable, …

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 …
