What you'll do
In this lab, we will use the Pywin32 extensions and the Deviare library to hook into functions and interact with the internal data structures.
- The Deviare library is a bit limited in terms of it capabilities as a rootkit, mainly since that is not what it was designed to do.
- However, it will be enough for our purposes and will enable us to more simply create a rootkit that uses a covert channel to exfiltrate data.
- ⏱ About 2 h
