A comprehensive analysis of all the internal Windows 10 loader states? Done - Have a look at that and a high-level analysis of how a library load works under the parallel loader.

Reverse engineering the Windows 10 parallel loader is challenging but interesting work. I recently fully reversed the pivotal LdrpDrainWorkQueue function and I'm just now working on LdrpLoadDllInternal plus others.

DllMain Rules Rewritten are Microsoft's infamous DllMain Rules - rewritten. After countless spent hours researching and reverse engineering the new and old Windows loaders, they are now complete.

I just spent the last few months of my life reverse engineering the Windows 10 parallel loader and figuring out how it does concurrency. Updates have now been published!.

Perfect DLL Hijacking: It's now possible with the latest in security research. Building on previous insights from @NetSPI, we reverse engineer the Windows library loader to disable the infamous Loader Lock and achieve ShellExecute straight from DllMain. 🔍 Link in bio 🔗

Need to go under the radar downloading #mimikatz (and other suspect payloads)? Then newly discovered #lolbin "C:\Windows\System32\Cmdl32.exe" (signed by MS) is for you. It's like a new certutil.exe but absolutely unheard of by any antivirus software!

I found out "C:\Windows\System32\WorkFolders.exe" (signed by MS) can be used to run arbitrary executables in the current working directory with the name control.exe. It's like a new rundll32.exe #lolbin but for EXEs!
