Process: SVCHOST.EXE (PID 892) Memory Region: 0x7FFA2B100000 Technique: Process Hollowing
She double-clicked the entry. The hex dump unfurled like a demonic scroll. Strings of ASCII poked through the binary noise:
Her heart thumped a new rhythm: fear mixed with fascination.
Her hands went cold. Process hollowing was an act of digital ventriloquism. A legitimate Windows process—svchost, the trusted workhorse—had been created, paused, and its internal code stripped out like the meat from an eggshell. Then, the attacker's malicious code was injected into the hollow shell. When it resumed, Task Manager saw "svchost.exe" running happily. But inside, it was a stranger wearing its face.
Her stomach dropped.
Sarah's breath caught. Meterpreter. A post-exploitation payload that lived only in RAM. No file on disk. No registry key. It was smoke. The moment you turned off the computer, it vanished without a trace. The only evidence was the electrical ghost of its existence, right now, in this moment.
The scan deepened. 62%... 78%...
