MODULE 06 — MEMORY ANALYSIS

Process Injection

Animate how malware injects shellcode into a legitimate system process using classic Windows API techniques: VirtualAllocEx → WriteProcessMemory → CreateRemoteThread.

Ready to simulate

svchost.exe Memory Space — Allocated Region

··

VirtualAllocEx()

Reserve RWX memory region in target process address space

WriteProcessMemory()

Copy shellcode bytes into the allocated memory region

CreateRemoteThread()

Spawn new thread at shellcode entry point in target process

Shellcode Execution

Shellcode runs with svchost.exe privileges and identity
