|
|
|
|
| Plugin | Command | Purpose |
|
|

|
|
| malfind | `vol -f dump.raw windows.malfind` | Find injected executable memory regions |
|
|
| vadinfo | `vol -f dump.raw windows.vadinfo` | Virtual Address Descriptor details |
|
|
| memmap | `vol -f dump.raw windows.memmap --pid PID --dump` | Dump process memory to files |
|
|
| pslist | `vol -f dump.raw windows.pslist` | List running processes |
|
|
| handles | `vol -f dump.raw windows.handles --pid PID` | List process handles |
|

## Common Heap Spray NOP Sled Patterns
|
|
|
|
| Pattern | Hex | Description |
|
|
|---------|-----|-------------|
|
|
| x86 NOP | 0x90909090 | Classic NOP instruction |
|
|
| 0x0C landing | 0x0C0C0C0C | Common heap spray address target |
|
|
| 0x0D landing | 0x0D0D0D0D | Alternative spray address |
|
|
| 0x0A landing | 0x0A0A0A0A | Alternative spray address |
|
|
| 0x41 fill | 0x41414141 | "AAAA" padding fill |

## Shellcode Signatures
|
|
|
|
| Bytes | Mnemonic | Context |
|
|
|-------|----------|---------|
|
|
| FC E8 | CLD; CALL | Common shellcode prologue |
|
|
| 60 E8 | PUSHAD; CALL | Register-saving shellcode start |
|
|
| 31 C0 50 68 | XOR EAX; PUSH; PUSH | Stack setup for API call |
|
|
| E8 FF FF FF FF | CALL $+5 | Self-locating shellcode (GetPC) |
|
|
|
|
## Detection Thresholds
|
|
|
|
| Indicator | Threshold | Meaning |
|
|
|-----------|-----------|---------|
|
|
| Large allocation | >= 1 MB per region | Suspicious heap allocation |
|
|
| Total spray size | >= 50 MB per process | Strong heap spray indicator |
|
|
| NOP sled count | >= 20 repeated bytes | NOP sled detected |
|
|
| RWX permissions | PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE | Injected executable code |
|
|
