+Driver Load

Driver Load

The process of attaching a driver, which is a software component that allows the operating system and applications to interact with hardware devices, to either user-mode or kernel-mode of a system. This can include benign actions (e.g., hardware drivers) or malicious behavior (e.g., rootkits or unsigned drivers). Examples: - Legitimate Driver Loading: A new graphics driver from a vendor like NVIDIA or AMD is loaded into the system. - Unsigned Driver Loading: A driver without a valid digital signature is loaded into the kernel. - Rootkit Installation: A malicious rootkit driver is loaded to manipulate kernel-mode processes. - Anti-Virus or EDR Driver Loading: An Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution loads its driver to monitor system activities. - Driver Misuse: A legitimate driver is loaded and exploited to execute malicious actions, such as using vulnerable drivers for bypassing defenses (e.g., Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks).
