A few days ago, Kaspersky published a blog post regarding a likely false flag in the wiper component of OlympicDestroyer. The attempt is based on an undocumented, lesser-known PE header called the RICH header. I don’t want to go into too much details regarding its layout, as many other sources have done a great job documenting it.

For some reason, articles about process injection techniques seem to be popular these days, and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to write something I have had in mind for a long time. As some of you may know, I maintain Manalyze, a static analyzer for PE executables. One key part of this program is obviously its parser, as writing PE parsers is notoriously hard. For this reason, I took great pains to make sure this part of Manalyze could be reused in other projects.
