Process injection is a technique used to inject malicious code into running processes. Because it evades detection techniques, innocent processes run the malicious injected code, unknowingly infecting the systems. A type of arbitrary code execution, process injection enables attackers to infiltrate systems, access networks and resources, and potentially elevate their privileges.
Let’s take a deeper look at how process injection fits into an attack, specific process injection techniques and how to prevent attacks that use process injection.
