Transacted Hollowing - a PE injection technique. A hybrid between Process Hollowing and Process Doppelgänging.
More info here.
"Ghostly" Hollowing - a similar technique, but using a delete-pending file instead of the transacted file. A hybrid between Process Hollowing and Process Ghosting.
You can switch to build the second variant with the help of the CMake option: GHOSTING. By default, Transacted Hollowing is built.
- Payload mapped as
MEM_IMAGE(unnamed: not linked to any file) - Sections mapped with original access rights (no
RWX) - Payload connected to PEB as the main module
- Remote injection supported (but only into a newly created process)
If the loader was built as 32 bit:
32 bit payload -> 32 bit target
If the loader was built as 64 bit:
64 bit payload -> 64 bit target
32 bit payload -> 32 bit target
Supply 2 commandline arguments:
[payload_path] [target_path]
Payload is the PE to be executed impersonating the Target.
