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

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:

Thanks @nostarch for allowing me to give it away 🤓

Looks like @BlueHatIL talks are online now, so here’s my talk for anyone who wanted to learn about the latest episode of KASLR and couldn’t make it: youtu.be/Dk2rLO2LC6I

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!)

Save the date - @Blackhoodie_RE is partnering with
@offensive_con this year to bring a BlackHoodie training to Berlin! Students will learn how to place compiler backdoors in innocent code. Mark your calendars for May 15th! Registration opens tomorrow, space is very limited ☺️

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…

There’s a brand new conference which means you get another chance to take my Windows Internals class, this time in the US 😄

In my new blog for @_CPResearch_ I propose a new injection technique, using the Thread Name API - check it out! 💙
In this blog we introduce Thread-Name Calling - A new process injection technique using Thread Name. We also discuss various scenarios in which this not widely-known API can be used for offense.

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.

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.

Good morning! Here's a short post about the things I found when my computer started repeatedly crashing. Didn't fully fix the problem but discovered some fun things on the way: windows-internals.com/troubl…

It was a few weeks ago now but I wanted to sincerely thank @Steph3nSims for inviting and allowing me to speak at SANS Hackfest in LA!
I am also so happy to report I finally meet @chompie1337 as well as @FuzzySec! I posted my slides if anyone cares! 🔗: github.com/connormcgarr/Pres… !
