This intermediate-level, 3-day-long intensive course dives deep into Modern Initial Access and Evasion tactics, which were effective on numerous engagements delivered in tightly monitored environments. The author will share his insights regarding strategies that made his malware accomplish engagement objectives, side by side with aggressively configured AVs & EDRs. Designing modern Red Team malware carriers smuggled in scripts, executables, and HTML websites are only some areas the course focuses on. We will explore numerous technical concepts and file formats. Craft advanced malicious Office documents, shellcode loaders, smuggling payloads, and other infected scripts that will help us reach target systems effectively. By applying modern AV & EDR evasion techniques into custom-crafted Red Team weaponry, capable teams will be equipped with the knowledge to succeed during adversary simulations even in the rapidly changing threat surface landscape. This course focuses on that – telling effective techniques apart from ones that no longer work.
