Walkthrough of Shellcode Reflective DLL Injection (sRDI)

December 09, 2023

In the ever-evolving landscape of malware, Shellcode Reflective DLL Injection (RDI) stands as a formidable technique despite its age, distinguished by its stealth and efficiency. Unlike traditional DLL injection methods, which often leave apparent traces for AV systems to detect, RDI operates on a more subtle level. Basically it challenges typical defensive solutions such as behavior monitoring, heuristics, or signature-based detection. Implementing a reflective loader myself provided a great insight into PE files and Windows API, and it is definitely a good initial foothold into more advanced techniques.
