I wasn't able to find
Rtlcreateuserthread
anything that works out of the box, so I had to make a few adjustments. Injection Code, DLL Code I'm running these on 64-bit windows. I'm compiling with Visual Studio 2010. The injector is a win32 console app, and the dll is win32 as well. I'm trying to inject my code into an existing notepad process (also 32-bit). All of this is running on Windows 7 x64. When I run the injector, it fails every time at CreateRemoteThread, with GetLastError returning 5 (i.e. ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED). I've ntcreatethreadex confirmed that the dll path is correct (although changing it to a bogus path gives the same behavior), and I've confirmed that the path is getting written to notepad's memory at the correct address using Cheat Engine. I'm having a difficult time with this because I'm not sure how to debug the problem further. What could be causing CreateRemoteThread to fail? windows-7-x64 dll-injection share|improve this question asked Dec 20 '12 at 20:51 Jake 3,79623046 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted The problem is that notepad.exe is a 64-bit process in 64-bit windows, and I was trying to inject with a 32-bit process. share|improve this answer answered Dec 23 '12 at 18:25 Jake 3,79623046 Yes, I ran into the same problem. It turns out like you said, platform mismatch. +1 for you. –Hao Nguyen Oct 28 '14 at 20:10 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote I also come up with the same problem. My situation is this: My system is 64-bit and the notepad is also 64-bit. But the injector is the 32-bit process. My solution is to replace the 64-bit notepad with the 32-bit notepad in the system directory. share|improve this answer edited Dec 28 '15 at 9:15 njuri 2,05911336 answered Dec 28 '15 at 8:39 Rock 11 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as

Limitations of NtCreateThreadEx http://securityxploded.com/ntcreatethreadex.php Method Alternative Techniques Conclusion References Introduction Windows provides API function called, CreateRemoteThread [Reference 2] which allows any process to execute thread in the context of remote process. This method has been mainly used to inject DLL into remote process, the technique popularly known as 'DLL Injection'. Especially malware programs exploited this mechanism to evade their detection by injecting their DLL into legitimate process's such as Explorer.exe, Winlogon.exe etc. Vista & Session Separation This DLL Injection technique using CreateRemoteThread technique has worked flawlessly till Vista without any limitations. However since Vista onwards things have changed with the introduction of 'Session Separation' [ Reference 3 ]. This was one of so many defenses introduced in Vista towards securing the system. 'Session Separation' ensured that core system processes including services always run in session 0 while all user process's run in different sessions. As a result any process running in user session

The install starts well and stops at backing up registry files and some times stops at initial failed to stage(during system check). Server has 3GB of free space in C drive. I also deleted all .tmp files and started again..I have tried some troubleshooting steps mentioned here (first 3 methods) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798 however, nothing seems to be resolved. Any idea which is causing the issue, any help would be helpful.Thanks.

by Blackco » Sat, 02 Jun 2007 04:52:02 (I wrote similar post at visual C++ forum before, and someone suggested me to post at Vista forum.So, I repost my question.) Hi. I wrote simple injection function as typical injection procedure as follows: BOOL WINAPI InjectProxyA(DWORD dwPID, PWSTR pwszProxyFile){ BOOL ret = FALSE; HANDLE hToken = NULL; HANDLE hProcess = NULL; HANDLE hThread = NULL; FARPROC pfnThreadRtn = NULL; PWSTR pwszPara = NULL; // Step1: Get Token priviledge to OpenProcess without error. // Without this step, OpenProcess may fail. LUID luid; TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tp; OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ALL_ACCESS, &hToken); LookupPrivilegeValue( NULL, SE_DEBUG_NAME, &luid ); tp.PrivilegeCount = 1; tp.Privileges[0].Luid = luid; tp.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED; AdjustTokenPrivileges( hToken, FALSE, &tp, sizeof(TOKEN_PRIVILEGES), NULL, NULL); // Step2: Inject DLL hProcess = OpenProcess( PROCESS_CREATE_THREAD | PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_OPERATION | PROCESS_VM_WRITE | PROCESS_VM_READ, FALSE, dwPID); pfnThreadRtn = GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle(TEXT("Kernel32")), "LoadLibraryW"); int iProxyFileLen = (1 + lstrlenW(pwszProxyFile)) * sizeof(WCHAR); pwszPara = (PWSTR)VirtualAllocEx(hProcess, NULL, iProxyFileLen, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE); WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, pwszPara, (PVOID)pwszProxyFile, iProxyFileLen, NULL); hThread = CreateRemoteThread(hProcess, NULL, 1024, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)pfnThreadRtn, pwszPara, 0, NULL); WaitForSingleObject(hThread, INFINITE); CloseHandle(hThread); CloseHandle(hProcess); CloseHandle(hToken); return(TRUE);} This function works fine before XP.But for some Vista system process (csrss.exe, lsass.exe, winlogon.exe, etc.), this code fails at CreateRemoteThread with GetLastError return code 8(ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY), and I have no idea why this happens only in
