Advanced Malware Tactics: Process Injection in Windows
Advanced Malware Tactics: Process Injection in Windows, Learn how modern malware evades detection using process injection, memory manipulation, and Windows internals.
Course Description
Master the stealth tactics used by modern Windows malware through analysis of process injection techniques.
This advanced cybersecurity course is designed for SOC analysts, malware researchers, blue teamers, red teamers, and aspiring reverse engineers who want to understand how malware operates under the hood.
You’ll learn how adversaries exploit Windows architecture, abuse native APIs, and manipulate memory to inject code into legitimate processes — all to bypass antivirus, EDR, and traditional defenses.
In this course, you’ll explore:
• Core Windows Internals: User mode vs. kernel mode, threads, handles, memory management
• Fundamentals of Process Injection: What it is, how it works, and why attackers use it
• Injection Primitives: Using VirtualAllocEx, WriteProcessMemory, and CreateRemoteThread
• Popular Techniques: DLL Injection, Process Hollowing, Shim Injection, and PE Injection
• Real Malware Case Study: Dissecting Qakbot’s process injection and evasion strategy
• Latest Threat Research: Novel injection methods using Windows thread pools, as presented at Black Hat Europe 2023
This is not just theory — you’ll gain insight into the same techniques threat actors use in the wild, helping you become more effective in malware detection, incident response, or offensive security operations.
Prerequisites: Basic understanding of Windows and cybersecurity. Ideal for professionals with 0–5 years of experience.
Take your malware analysis and threat detection skills to the next level.
