Working with process injection

In this section, we will cover the intermediate to advanced techniques of process injection. These techniques leave no trace on a disk and can enable fileless malware to maintain persistence. Before we cover these techniques, let's talk about how the malware finds the process that it wants to inject into—in particular, how it gets the list of the running processes with their names and PIDs.

Getting the list of running processes

For malware to get a list of the running processes, the following steps are required:

1. Create a snapshot of all of the processes running at that moment. This snapshot contains information about all running processes, their names, process IDs, and other important information...
