Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
Print processors are DLLs the Windows print spooler loads at boot, which makes them a SYSTEM level persistence spot. MITRE T1547.012 explained, with detection and mitigation.
A port monitor DLL loaded by the print spooler runs as SYSTEM at boot. MITRE T1547.010 explained, with the registry path and spoolsv.exe signals worth monitoring.
