hunting-for-process-injection-techniques
Detects process injection techniques (MITRE T1055) — including CreateRemoteThread injection, process hollowing, and DLL injection — by analyzing Sysmon Event IDs 8 (CreateRemoteThread) and 10 (ProcessAccess) alongside EDR process telemetry. Use when hunting for in-memory code injection or defense evasion via legitimate process abuse on Windows endpoints.

# Hunting for Process Injection Techniques
## Overview
Process injection (MITRE ATT&CK T1055) allows adversaries to execute code in the address space of another process, enabling defense evasion and privilege escalation. This skill detects injection techniques via Sysmon Event ID 8 (CreateRemoteThread), Event ID 10 (ProcessAccess with suspicious access rights), and analysis of source-target process relationships to distinguish legitimate from malicious injection.
## When to Use
- When investigating security incidents that require hunting for process injection techniques
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
