Process Hypnosis

A Rust implementation of Process Hypnosis, a technique for debugger-assisted control flow hijacking. This project demonstrates advanced Windows debugging and process manipulation techniques.

Features

• Process debugging and control
• DLL loading monitoring
• Memory manipulation
• Symbol resolution
• Shellcode execution
• Debug event handling

Technical Details

The project implements:

• Windows Debug API usage
• Process creation and debugging
• Memory reading and writing
• Symbol resolution and lookup
• Exception handling
• Thread management

Key Components

1. Debug Event Handling
   • Process creation events
   • Thread creation events
   • DLL loading events
   • Exception events
   • Breakpoint handling
2. Memory Operations
   • Process memory reading
   • Process memory writing
   • Memory protection manipulation
   • Shellcode injection
3. Symbol Resolution
   • Symbol initialization
   • Symbol lookup
   • Address resolution
   • Function address retrieval

Usage

1. Build the project using Cargo:

   cargo build --release
   

2. Run the executable:

   cargo run --release
   

Dependencies
