What makes AtomBombing difficult to patch compared to other injection methods?

AtomBombing exploits the Global Atom Table, a core Windows mechanism for inter-process data exchange that is unlikely to be removed or patched. While the specific exploitation steps (like using `NtQueueApcThread` and constructing a ROP chain) can be mitigated, the underlying Atom Table functionality is essential for system compatibility. This makes a permanent patch challenging, as detailed in the AtomBombing Exploitation Analysis.
