👻 Ghost in the PPL: BYOVDLL

This blog post explores bypassing LSA Protection in Userland through the "Bring Your Own Vulnerable DLL" (BYOVDLL) technique. It also delves into the successful exploitation of vulnerabilities in the CNG Key Isolation service and the methods employed to load vulnerable DLLs within protected processes.

👻 Ghost in the PPL Part 3: LSASS Memory Dump

In the third part of the series, the author explores methods for dumping the memory of LSASS, including indirectly calling MiniDumpWriteDump, loading arbitrary DLLs into LSASS via the WinSock2 Autodial feature, and dynamically resolving addresses.

🛡CreateProcessAsPPL

This is a utility for running processes with Protected Process Light (PPL) protection, enabling bypass of EDR/AV solution defensive mechanisms. It leverages legitimate Windows clipup.exe functionality from System32 to create protected processes that can overwrite antivirus service executable files.
