Component injection can be used to model various process and system software behavior by writing customized DLL/SYS and injecting them into process/kernel space. Although often depicted either as security threat or value-added hooking mechanism very little has been written about its use to model various software defects. Here I don’t mean testing but studying faulty behavior and artifacts after injecting specific DLLs with design and implementation defects. For example, forgetting to release database connections or not closing file handles. NotMyLeak is an attempt to do it for different kind of leaks on x86 and x64 Windows platforms. It uses automatic DLL injection via standard Windows hooking mechanism. Stay tuned.
