Memory injection is when malicious code is injected into the memory space of a running process. Common in remote code execution exploits or process hollowing. If successful, the attacker can make a benign process behave abnormally (e.g., generating outbound traffic). This fits the described behavior very well. Side loading - DLL side-loading is when malware abuses the way Windows loads DLLs, tricking an application into executing a malicious DLL instead of the legitimate one. This also causes abnormal behavior, but usually it’s more about persistence and privilege escalation, not random outbound traffic generation. Most likely answer: A. Memory injection Because the legitimate application suddenly runs abnormal network activity, this is a strong indicator that malicious code was injected into its memory space.
Malicious code is injected into a process’s memory space, often leading to abnormal behavior or unauthorized actions. Unexpected outbound traffic, erratic process behavior2
I believe the answer is SIDE LOADING. No a single word about memory or RAM. Just traffic from an application that went outbound after some internal activity. What does memory have to do with it.
