Process Doppelgänging Attack
Process Doppelgänging Attack is a very complex computer attack that is used by hackers to bypass security measures on a computer system.
The attack works by creating a copy of a legitimate process or program on the computer, which the hacker can then manipulate to perform malicious actions. This copy is called a “doppelganger”, which means a person’s double or an evil twin.
The attacker then uses this doppelganger process to inject malicious code into the legitimate process without being detected by security measures. Because the doppelganger process looks and acts like the original process, it can easily evade detection and bypass security measures.
Once the malicious code is injected, the attacker can gain access to sensitive information, install malware, or disable security controls on the system. This can be very dangerous for individuals, businesses, and organizations alike.
To prevent Process Doppelgänging Attacks, it is important to keep all software and operating systems up to date with the latest security patches and to use reputable antivirus and security software. It is also important to be cautious when downloading and opening files from unknown sources, as these files can contain hidden malware and viruses that can be used in such attacks.
