Beyond good ol’ Run key, Part 128

It’s been a long time since I looked at phantom DLLs (non-existing DLLs that are expected to be present in predictable locations). So, a quick rundown what we can see on Win10 today folows:

  • C:WindowsSystem32edgegdi.dll
    • loaded by gdi.dll, but not present on the most up to date win10 pro installation; it must be signed
    • loaded by a number of processes backgroundTaskHost.exe, BackgroundTransferHost.exe, DllHost.exe, dmclient.exe, HxTsr.exe, LockApp.exe, LogonUI.exe, Microsoft.Photos.exe, mousocoreworker.exe and many others; existing work: found some EoP research on Twitter
  • C:WindowsSysWOW64rpcss.dll
  • C:WindowsSystem32UsoSelfhost.dll
    • loaded by mousocoreworker.exe — possible EoP?
  • C:WindowsSystem32Speech_OneCorecommonsapi_onecore.dll
    • loaded by SearchApp.exe
  • C:WindowsSystem32windowscoredeviceinfo.dll
    • loaded by taskhostw.exe

There are more, but I reserve them for a possible future post.
