DLL Magic is the simple command-line tool to Hide DLL in any Windows Process.
Every Process maintains internal database of loaded Modules/DLLs in the form of three linked lists. Each of these linked list represents the order in which DLLs are loaded, here are they
- Load Order
- Memory Order
- Initialization Order
This is an effective technique to hide DLL from any of the Process/DLL listing tools. And it is the common method used by Rootkits to hide their presence. However such hidden DLLs are visible in Kernel based tools.
Though 'DLL Magic' works on both 32-bit & 64-bit systems, it can Hide DLL from 32-bit Process only.
It is primarily useful for developers and researchers. Also being command-line tool makes it easy to use in automation scripts.
It works all platforms starting from Windows XP to Windows 8.
