## Malware Techniques
|
|
|
|
### DLL Injection
|
|
|
|
Execute an arbitrary DLL inside another process
|
|
|
|
1. Locate the process to inject the malicious DLL: CreateToolhelp32Snapshot, Process32First, Process32Next
|
|
2. Open the process: GetModuleHandle, GetProcAddress, OpenProcess
|
|
3. Write the path to the DLL inside the process: VirtualAllocEx, WriteProcessMemory
|
|
4. Create a thread in the process that will load the malicious DLL: CreateRemoteThread, LoadLibrary
|
|
|
|
Other functions to use: NTCreateThreadEx, RtlCreateUserThread
|
|
|
|
### Reflective DLL Injection
|
|
|
|
Load a malicious DLL without calling normal Windows API calls.
|
|
The DLL is mapped inside a process, it will resolve the import addresses, fix the relocations and call the DllMain function.
|
|
|
|
### Thread Hijacking
|
|
|
|
Find a thread from a process and make it load a malicious DLL
|
|
|
|
1. Find a target thread: CreateToolhelp32Snapshot, Thread32First, Thread32Next
|
|
2. Open the thread: OpenThread
|
|
3. Suspend the thread: SuspendThread
|
|
4. Write the path to the malicious DLL inside the victim process: VirtualAllocEx, WriteProcessMemory
|
|
5. Resume the thread loading the library: ResumeThread
|
|
|
|
### PE Injection
|
|
|
|
Portable Execution Injection: The executable will be written in the memory of the victim process and it will be executed from there.
|
|
|
|
### Process Hollowing
|
|
|
|
The malware will unmap the legitimate code from memory of the process and load a malicious binary
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new process: CreateProcess
|
|
2. Unmap the memory: ZwUnmapViewOfSection, NtUnmapViewOfSection
|
|
3. Write the malicious binary in the process memory: VirtualAllocEc, WriteProcessMemory
|
|
4. Set the entrypoint and execute: SetThreadContext, ResumeThread
|
|
|
|
## Hooking
|
|
|
|
* The **SSDT** \(**System Service Descriptor Table**\) points to kernel functions \(ntoskrnl.exe\) or GUI driver \(win32k.sys\) so user processes can call these functions.
|
|
* A rootkit may modify these pointer to addresses that he controls
|
|
* **IRP** \(**I/O Request Packets**\) transmit pieces of data from one component to another. Almost everything in the kernel uses IRPs and each device object has its own function table that can be hooked: DKOM \(Direct Kernel Object Manipulation\)
|
|
* The **IAT** \(**Import Address Table**\) is useful to resolve dependencies. It's possible to hook this table in order to hijack the code that will be called.
|
|
* **EAT** \(**Export Address Table**\) Hooks. This hooks can be done from **userland**. The goal is to hook exported functions by DLLs.
|
|
* **Inline Hooks**: This type are difficult to achieve. This involve modifying the code of the functions itself. Maybe by putting a jump at the begging of this.
