Abstract
Techniques for detecting malware process injection on a host device. The techniques may include receiving endpoint metadata associated with an event, the endpoint metadata including information associated with a process that made a network connection from a host device. The techniques may also include receiving network metadata associated with the event, the network metadata including a network protocol fingerprint used to make the network connection. The techniques may further include determining that the network protocol fingerprint is indicative of a presence of malware process injection via the process running on the host device. Based on detecting the process of the malware process injection, an indication may be reported to a monitoring system and one or more remedial actions may be taken.
