Python DLL Injection Check, (Tue, Jul 6th)

They are many security tools that inject DLL into processes running on a Windows system. The classic examples are anti-virus products. They like to inject plenty of code that, combined with API hooking, implements security checks. If DLLs are injected into processes, they can be detected and it&#;x26;#;39;s a common anti-debugging or evasion technique implemented by many malware samples. If you&#;x26;#;39;re interested in such techniques, they are covered in the FOR610[1] training. The detection relies on a specific API call GetModuleFileName()[2]. The function expects the following parameters: A handle (pointer) to a process and the name of the DLL to check. Malware samples list all running processes, get a handle on them, and search for interesting DLL names. To get the handle, the OpenProcess()[3] API call must use the following access flag (0x0410 – PROCESS_VM_READ|PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION).

“inception.py”… Multiple Base64 Encodings, (Fri, Jul 2nd)

“Inception” is a very nice SF movie in which, if you did not watch it,&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;dreams are implemented in people&#;x26;#;39;s minds to help to get access to sensitive information from their memory. Then,&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;a dream is implemented into another dream, etc… up to five levels[1]!&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;If you are not paying attention to the movie, you can be quickly lost.&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;
