SloppyRAT PSSpoof: powershell.exe with spoofed explorer.exe parent
Detects instances where PowerShell is executed with an explorer.exe parent process, but the actual creating process differs from explorer.exe. This behavior is indicative of parent PID (PPID) spoofing, a technique often used to evade detection or masquerade the execution source by abusing the PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PARENT_PROCESS flag in the Windows API.
