This article presents an examination of DLL hijacking against a native system binary to achieve remote code execution (RCE). It combines procedural analysis, forensic instrumentation, and practical tooling to generate proxy-DLL project skeletons. This provides a method for integrating position-independent payloads to achieve RCE.

This article explores the Early Bird APC Injection technique, a method for injecting payloads into a target process by leveraging a suspended process and the QueueUserAPC function. It provides an in-depth analysis of the technique’s implementation, effectiveness, and stealth, highlighting its ability to bypass traditional antivirus detection systems.
