Unlocking the Secrets of Ethical Malware Development
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to Malware Development Techniques
Welcome to this article, where I aim to introduce my community of malware developers and those aspiring to enter this field to an often overlooked technique. This method, which I fondly refer to as "Finder Free Handles and Objects in Memory," allows for innovative approaches in malware development.
What exactly does this technique entail?
It involves mapping memory to search for handles or objects created by other processes that can be effectively utilized within your own operations. Some of the most pertinent objects include:
- File Handles
- Windows Registry Handles
- Process Handles
- User Tokens
- Thread Handles
Why is this advantageous for malware developers?
Security solutions, such as antivirus programs or endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems, are constantly on the lookout for activities like process creation, file modifications, and registry alterations. By using objects generated by legitimate processes, malware developers can circumvent these malicious activity detections.
Let's dive deeper into how this works and how we can implement it!
In this video, "I Made Malware In Under 20 Minutes," we explore rapid malware development techniques that highlight the power of using existing system processes to our advantage.
Chapter 2: Practical Implementation
Prepare yourself to unveil the intricacies of ethical malware development through a unique course. We are navigating a different route in cybersecurity, and here's why you should consider joining us:

Here's a snippet of the C++ code that outlines how we can leverage this technique:
#include <iostream>
#include <deque>
#include "MapMemoryObjects.h"
#include "resolve.h"
using namespace std;
int main(){
MapMemoryObjects mapper = MapMemoryObjects();
PSYSTEM_HANDLE_INFORMATION mappedObjects = mapper.MapMemoryHandlers();
deque handles = mapper.FilterFile(mappedObjects);
return 0;
}
In this code, we initialize the MapMemoryObjects class and utilize its methods to filter file handles, illustrating how we can access and manage system resources effectively.
The second video, "Getting ChatGPT to Write Us a Malware (Ransomware) in C#," sheds light on the fascinating integration of AI in malware creation, showcasing how modern tools can aid in the development process.
Chapter 3: Conclusion
In conclusion, exploring the "Finder Free Handles and Objects in Memory" method reveals new possibilities for ethical malware development. By utilizing handles created by legitimate processes, developers can bypass the scrutiny of traditional security measures. The provided C++ code and explanations offer a glimpse into the complex mechanisms of memory mapping, handle filtering, and information extraction for diverse applications, including file management, registry access, process control, user token manipulation, and thread management.
