Tips and Tricks

  • EDRs love scanning RWX memory, so use: RW -> RX
  • Try to use apis closer to the kernel so that products have less telemetry over your apis and you have more api mixups to use. Examples are:
CreateRemoteThread
RtlCreateUserThread
QueueUserAPC: ResumeThread or NtResumeThread or NtAlertResumeThread
NtQueueApcThread: ResumeThread or NtResumeThread or NtAlertResumeThread
  • Avoid calling functions against common parameters. For example, you can do something like this:
    • address = VirtualAlloc(1000)
    • virtualprotect(addr+50)
    • memcpy(address+100)
    • createthread(address + 200)
  • Try include obscure flags in OpenProcess calls
  • Try to duplicate existing handles on the machine instead of creating new ones with NtQuerySystemInformation
  • Inject from noisy contexts like from SYSTEM or csrss.exe
  • Encrypt/change your permissions of your payload and modules if not in use
