Hiding from the scanners #247

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I've read the Wiki section on "Scanners" a couple times but I'm not quite sure 
how easy it would be for rootkits to hide from them. For example, 
eprocess.Pcb.Header.Size == 0x1b is a non-essential feature of an EPROCESS 
structure and simply modifying that value would effectively hide the process 
from psscan.

Has there been any development efforts to use the techniques described in this 
paper?

Hiya Tamas, that's not really a bug, it's more of a comment/discussion.  Please 
could you continue this conversation on the volatility developer mailing list, 
or on IRC. 

I'm going to mark this as invalid, but also CC in moyix (who is the author of 
the paper you quoted, and also a volatility developer) in case he wants to 
answer you either here or directly...
