Zaid Abdulelah Mundher . Design and Implement a Hidden Processes Detector (HPD) based on Windows Prefetch Files. International Journal of Computer Applications. 171, 6 ( Aug 2017), 37-39. DOI=10.5120/ijca2017915038
Hidden processes threat, which is a technique that is used by malicious code to hide their activities, is a serious threat to the operating systems. Therefore, the security programs try to defeat this threat using different approaches. This paper presents a hidden processes detector (HPD) program to detect hidden processes on Windows-based systems. The proposed HPD program introduces a new approach based on the Windows Prefetch files. The proposed HPD program has been tested and the results have been mentioned in this paper.
