malwareDevelopment

Simple malware samples developed as a proof-of-concept using C and the Win32API utilising process injection techniques which involve injecting malicious shellcode into benign processes.

Shellcode Injection

1. Get a handle on a process by attaching to, or creating one.
2. Allocate a buffer in the process memory with the necessary permissions.
3. Write the contents of your shellcode to that buffer in the process memory.
4. Create a thread that will run what you've surgically allocated and written into the process!

DLL Injection

1. Get a handle on a process by attaching to, or creating one.
2. Allocate a buffer in the process memory with the necessary permissions.
3. Load a custom DLL to that buffer in the process memory.
4. Create a thread that will run what you've surgically allocated and written into the process!
