In r/AskNetsec, practitioners converge on Procmon and loader telemetry as the practical starting point for finding DLL hijacking, then narrowing to writable search paths and Windows DLL search order nuances.
but how do you actually find vulnerable apps? like do i just run procmon and look for “name not found”? feels too simple.
Basically. That and DLLs loaded from unsafe locations, ie locations that you have write access to.
Procmon Name Not Found is the start, not the finish. I look for missing loads plus writable search paths, weird CWD behavior, manifests, and SafeDllSearchMode.
