Small PoC to enumerate local processes and read each process' PEB (via NtQueryInformationProcess + ReadProcessMemory) to display command line, image path and a few PEB fields.

Uses community NT-internals headers (PHNT / systeminformer-style) so the PoC can rely on correct PEB / RTL_USER_PROCESS_PARAMETERS / PROCESS_BASIC_INFORMATION types.

• Enumerates processes (Toolhelp snapshot)
• Reads remote PEB and RTL_USER_PROCESS_PARAMETERS
• Prints: CommandLine, ImagePathName, BeingDebugged, ImageBaseAddress, OS version fields
• Lightweight, single-purpose PoC — useful for research / triage

• Windows 10/11 (x64 recommended)
• Tested in Visual Studio 2022
• external/phnt headers (included as a submodule)

Visual Studio

• Open build/remote-PEB.sln
• Select Release | x64 and build

Run from an elevated prompt to maximize the number of readable processes:

.\remote-PEB.exe

This example is redacted to avoid leaking usernames, hostnames or absolute paths.

• The PoC currently targets same-bitness reading. For cross-bitness (x86 ↔ x64) add WOW64 handling (IsWow64Process2 / 32-bit PEB structs).
• Protected/PPL processes will refuse access; expect ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
• Prefer PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ over PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS. Enabling SeDebugPrivilege may be required for some processes (helper included under tools/).
