SignalR
SignalR is an ASP.NET library that enables real-time communication between web servers and clients through web sockets, server-sent events, and long polling. It provides a simple API for creating persistent connections that allow bidirectional communication, and supports client libraries for .NET, JavaScript, and mobile platforms. SignalR uses a hub model to broadcast messages to all connected clients or specific groups, making it useful for chat applications, live updates, notifications, and other scenarios requiring real-time client-server interactions.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process Hollowing
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.
