<p>Detects DLL injection through correlation of memory allocation and writing to remote process memory (e.g., VirtualAllocEx, WriteProcessMemory), followed by remote thread creation (e.g., CreateRemoteThread) that loads a suspicious or unsigned DLL using LoadLibrary or reflective loading.</p>

Log sources and channels

Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.

Log sourceChannelData component
WinEventLog:SysmonEventCode=10DC0035 Process Access
WinEventLog:SysmonEventCode=1DC0032 Process Creation

Mutable elements

Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.

FieldDescription
InjectedDLLSignatureStatusWhether the DLL is unsigned, untrusted, or loaded from a non-standard path
TimeWindowTemporal correlation threshold between memory operations and thread creation
TargetProcessListList of sensitive or high-value processes targeted for injection (e.g., explorer.exe, winlogon.exe)
ParentProcessAnomalyThresholdDegree of deviation from expected parent-child lineage
