Malware using reflect.dll typically employs "fileless" execution methods to evade signature-based detection. By loading the payload directly into a legitimate process's memory (like explorer.exe ), the attacker bypasses the need for the file to ever touch the disk in its final executable form. : Often delivered via a PowerShell stager (e
