DLL Injection

Definitions

1. A technique for forcing a process to load a DLL into its address space so attacker-controlled code runs inside that process. It is used by malware, red teams, and some legitimate software, which makes context and behavior important for detection.

   In plain English: Loading a DLL into another process so code runs inside it.

   Example: "The EDR flagged DLL injection into the browser process from an unsigned parent executable."
