Early Cascade Injection: From Windows process creation to stealthy injection


Get an introdcution to Early Cascade, a novel process injection technique that is effective against top tier EDRs while avoiding detection.

Techniques like this are becoming increasingly important as Microsoft gradually restricts third-party access to the kernel, forcing EDR detection measures from kernel-mode to user-mode. Loader Lock is acquired each time when a function needs access to the module database ( PEB_LDR_DATA), which is involved in tasks such as DLL loading, unloading, and thread creation[9]. Novel technique: Due to Early Cascade Injection’s novel approach, its call pattern is less likely to be recognized by security products, reducing the risk of detection.
