How can defenders detect Boolang-based shellcode execution in their environment?
Defenders should monitor for unusual usage of the Boolang compiler DLLs (Boo.Lang.Compiler.dll, etc.) loaded by processes like PowerShell or csc.exe. Log events indicating dynamic compilation of scripts in memory, especially when followed by process injection calls (e.g., QueueUserAPC, CreateRemoteThread). Additionally, inspect PowerShell scripts that load assemblies via reflection or download external script files. The article Exploitation Analysis of Executing Shellcode via Boolang Language suggests that such techniques are similar to those used by Netsh persistence and should be tracked with behavioral analytics.
