Very quick blog post to start the week: "enhanced session" shares your host clipboard with virtual machines, even if you didn't copy/paste anything from the VM itself. Might be common knowledge but it surprised me so I'm sharing it here windows-internals.com/random…

I often am asked for pointers on building a VM for malware analysis. I wrote a 40+ page chapter on this in my book Evasive Malware. You can download this chapter from the book on my blog for free here: evasivemalware.com/EvasiveMa… Thanks @nostarch for allowing me to give it away 🤓

FYI if you’re willing to link with ntdll or dynamically resolve it there’s a ton of APIs that return TEB/PEB or leave them in one of the registers. (Don’t believe official return values. MSDN is a liar!)
Daax, being the traditional memesteroni he is, shared a cool proof-of-concept which demonstrates how to get a pointer to the Process Environment Block without using the GS and/or FS register. Look at the full thread. It's interesting.

I’m not saying you definitely have to go to @BlueHatIL this year, I’m just letting you know it’s free, by the beach and I’ll be there dropping kernel pointers to anyone who asks nicely

Today I’m sharing a blog post on the implementation of kernel mode shadow stacks on Windows! This post covers actively debugging the Secure Kernel and also outlines why VTL 1 is relied on to help maintain the integrity of the supervisor shadow stacks! connormcgarr.github.io/km-sh…

In my new blog for @_CPResearch_ I propose a new injection technique, using the Thread Name API - check it out! 💙

Recently I was writing up a blog about Secure Kernel and NT working together to initialize Kernel CFG. I realized there were a lot of concepts in SK I was unfamiliar with. Because of this I wrote a post on one of those topics - Secure Image Objects. Enjoy! connormcgarr.github.io/secur…

Thanks to everyone who attended my talk! @offensive_con was an incredible experience. Couldn't make it? Don't worry- here are my slides! Recommend them to anyone wanting to learn more about Secure Boot's third-party risks. nbviewer.org/github/microsof…
Ecstatic to share that my talk was accepted to Offensive Con. Excited to have an excuse to visit the city I was born in. Hope to see you there!

Anyone who uses WinDbg a lot should learn to use Symbol Builder (by @wmessmer). Using it here to define a function signature and combining it with FileSystem module to write log all IOCTL requests to a file.
