Detection of EntryPoint Hijacking consists of the following:
1️⃣ EntryPoint address escapes the module’s DllBase range
2️⃣ MEM_IMAGE → MEM_PRIVATE transition
3️⃣ OriginalBase fails validation

️ EntryPoint Hijacking introduces a stealthier approach to code injection as it doesn’t use API calls that create a new thread within the context of a process.
Arbitrary code is written in memory, but it is executed only when a thread is created by the process legitimately.

In the article, a 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 is introduced that monitors:
🧠 The memory address of the EntryPoint
🧬 The EntryPoint memory type is changed to PRIVATE
OriginalBase is not valid

To help, I created a list of active cybersecurity blogs written by people who still publish real research.
If you follow any of these already (or have gems I should add), let me know.
