ALPChecker – Detecting Spoofing and Blinding Attacks by Anastasiia Kropova and Igor Korkin #HITB2023HKT #COMMSEC


In recent years, Windows OS has faced a surge in attacks exploiting kernel drivers, notably targeting AV and EDR systems. The vulnerable Asynchronous Local Procedure Call (ALPC) technology, vital for client-server interactions, lacks essential safeguards, as demonstrated in successful attacks at LABScon 2022 and Ekoparty 2022.

To address ALPC vulnerabilities, we propose ALPChecker, a proactive security tool detecting kernel mode attacks by checking client and server ALPC ports. It plays a critical role in preventing bypassing and disabling of Windows protection tools, ensuring the ongoing integrity of ALPC connections in the Windows operating environment.

The details are here:
