🪄 Process Hollowing Faces Challenges on Windows 11 24H2. The popular process impersonation technique known as Process Hollowing, which allows malicious executables to run under benign processes, encounters issues on the latest Windows 11 release. Users have reported errors when attempting to load payloads, specifically error 0xC0000141, due to changes in the Windows loader that affect how memory is allocated for implanted payloads. While alternative techniques like Process Doppelganging and Ghosting can be used to circumvent these issues by mapping payloads as MEM_IMAGE, they are less convenient than RunPE. Additionally, a patch for NTDLL can allow the original RunPE to function without interruption. The article details these findings and offers solutions for users facing similar challenges.
