The article demonstrates how to bypass the Winsock layer by communicating directly with the Windows AFD driver using Native API calls. It explains how socket operations can be replicated via IOCTLs and how this reduces reliance on standard networking APIs.
The article analyzes the Windows GetProcessHandleFromHwnd API and its evolution from a hook-based implementation to a kernel Win32k function that could open powerful process handles, enabling security bypasses such as CVE-2023-41772.
The article demonstrates how to hook COM methods in Windows Subsystem for Linux by leveraging C++ RTTI metadata to reconstruct class layouts and locate virtual methods, enabling precise COM instrumentation without symbols.
The research reverse-engineers Windows AFD.sys, showing how TCP sockets can be created, connected, and used by sending handcrafted IOCTL requests directly to the kernel driver—completely bypassing the Winsock networking API.
The article explains a technique for dumping memory from the protected LSASS process (PPL). It analyzes limitations of PPL protection and demonstrates how MiniDumpWriteDump and existing process handles can be used to extract credential data.
How to implement Early Cascade Injection in Rust, a stealthy Windows process injection technique that hijacks shim engine callbacks in ntdll to execute shellcode during early process initialization, before many EDR hooks activate.
This article demonstrates how to reverse engineer the Windows 11 kernel to understand undocumented internals behind memory operations and ETW Threat Intelligence events, helping security engineers improve EDR telemetry and detect remote process memory writes.
“Silent Harvest” explains how attackers can quietly extract sensitive Windows secrets such as credentials and security keys by abusing legitimate registry and system mechanisms, avoiding LSASS dumping and bypassing many common EDR detections.
CVE-2026-2636 Logic bug in Windows’ CLFS driver: calling ReadFile on a .blf log handle pushes CLFS.sys into an unrecoverable state and triggers an immediate BSoD — local DoS with only user privileges.
The article explains enhancing RPC Proxy Injection to evade Elastic EDR telemetry by avoiding common API calls like WriteProcessMemory and CreateRemoteThread, using custom shellcode delivery via thread descriptions and APCs to hide malicious behavior.
