When antivirus flags a tool, the attacker edits out the part that tripped it and tries again. Learn the pattern that gives that retry away.
Source code is easier to hide than a binary. Attackers deliver text and compile it on the victim machine. Here is what to watch for and where it fits in your CI view.
Hidden data inside images, audio or text files slips past filters that only check file type. Here is what MITRE says to watch for around those files.
Packers compress or encrypt an executable so it unpacks itself in memory. Learn why signatures miss it and which behaviors give a packed binary away.
Junk bytes appended to a program change its hash and its size without changing its behavior. Here is what that defeats and what still catches it.
Encoded, packed and encrypted payloads are meant to slip past scanners. See what MITRE documents, what behavior gives them away and the controls that help.
