⚔️ The Art of DLL Hijacking

In this article, I have taken an in-depth look at the mechanisms of DLL Hijacking in Windows; from the basics of how DLLs are loaded and DLL Search Order Hijacking to more advanced techniques such as:

◾️ DLL Search Order Hijacking
◾️ DLL Substitution (Replacement)
◾️ DLL Side-Loading
◾️ DLL Proxying
◾️ Phantom DLL Hijacking

In this article, we will examine how the Windows Loader resolves and loads DLLs, how suitable conditions for DLL Hijacking are identified, and why some legitimate programs can become part of the loading chain.

A practical approach to analyzing and identifying Phantom DLLs is also presented.
