process hollowing

About this tag
Process hollowing is a code injection technique where a legitimate process is created in a suspended state, its memory is unmapped and replaced with malicious code, and then the process is resumed. This allows malware to execute under the guise of a trusted application, evading detection. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover how process hollowing is used by malware like Lumma Stealer and Pure Crypter, and how Microsoft's Windows 11 24H2 update introduces security measures to break this technique. The tag also explores threat actors leveraging process hollowing via tools like ScreenConnect for initial access, and the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between attackers and Microsoft's defenses.
