A Defenders Guide to Process Injections

You spend your time hunting for evil.exe, but what about the ghost hiding inside a process you already trust? This session deconstructs process injections, the adversary's go-to technique for evading modern defenses. We'll explore how attackers hijack trusted applications and run malicious code directly from memory. You'll leave with a strong conceptual model for hunting these elusive threats, moving beyond simple process monitoring to spot the subtle behaviors of a compromised system.
