4. Underlying technical mechanisms

• Windows DLL loading semantics: LoadLibrary / implicit linking, search order (EXE directory, system directories, PATH), delay-load behavior.
• DllMain constraints: initialization must avoid loader deadlocks, thread creation, blocking calls, or long-running operations; failure to comply may cause immediate init failure.
• CRT & C++ static initialization: global constructors can throw exceptions causing abort if not handled.
• Side-by-side manifests and WinSxS: manifest versioning can redirect load to different module versions.
• Signature and code integrity: Authenticode, Windows Defender Application Control, and SmartScreen may block or quarantine.
• DEP/ASLR/CFG: system mitigations can prevent execution if binary lacks expected attributes or uses unsupported instructions.
