So I’ve been learning C++ lately and there was this part I couldn’t I asked Mar 18, 2015 at 19:47

This has nothing to do with C++, really. DLL injection requires a good knowledge of Windows process and memory architecture. Perhaps another project would be better to start, like writing a notepad clone? –

Timeframe for Effective DLL Injection Research
The duration depends on your expertise, goals, and depth of analysis:
Beginners (1–3 months)
Learning core concepts (Windows internals, PE structure, API hooks).
Basic injection techniques (e.g., CreateRemoteThread ).
Tools: Process Hacker, Cheat Engine.
Intermediate (3–6 months)
Advanced methods (APC, reflective DLL injection).
Bypassing security (AV/EDR evasion).
Reverse engineering (IDA Pro, x64dbg).
Advanced (6+ months)
Custom techniques (process hollowing, thread hijacking).
Kernel-mode integration (e.g., driver-based injection).
Real-world testing (e.g., malware analysis labs).
Key Factors
Prior Knowledge: Faster if experienced in C/C++, WinAPI.
Resources: Books (Windows Internals), forums (Stack Overflow, MalwareTech).
Ethics: Research legality (use controlled environments like VMs).
Example Timeline
Week 1–2: Study PE headers.
Month 1: Implement basic injection.
Month 3: Evade detection.
Tip: Focus on hands-on labs (e.g., Injecting into notepad.exe ) and document findings.
This balances brevity with actionable insights. Adjust based on your pace!
