Abusing Exceptions for Code Execution, Part 1

A common offensive technique used by operators and malware developers alike has been to execute malicious code at runtime to avoid static detection. Often, methods of achieving runtime execution have focused on placing arbitrary code into executable memory that can then be executed. In this article, we will explore a
A common offensive technique used by operators and malware developers alike has been to execute malicious code at runtime to avoid static detection. Often, methods of achieving runtime execution have focused on placing arbitrary code into executable memory that can then be executed. In this article, we will explore a new approach to executing runtime code that does not rely on finding executable regions of memory, but instead relies on abusing existing trusted memory to execute arbitrary code.
