The article explains how Windows DNS conditional forwarders interact with recursion. It shows that recursion settings can be overridden per zone and demonstrates how different DNS configurations affect query resolution.
WSL, COM Hooking, & RTTI
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.
Silent Harvest: Extracting Windows Secrets Under the Radar
“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.
Malware and cryptography 44 – encrypt/decrypt payload via Discrete Fourier Transform. Simple C example.
Demonstration how malware can encrypt and decrypt payloads using the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). It provides a simple C example showing how mathematical transforms can hide shellcode and help evade static signature-based detection.
Bypassing Detections with Command-Line Obfuscation
How attackers can bypass AV and EDR detections by obfuscating command-line arguments. By exploiting parsing quirks in executables, small changes to parameters can hide malicious intent while the command still executes normally.
