Antimalware evasion techniques
As an aspiring ethical hacker and penetration tester, you will be developing custom payloads that are designed for specific targets, such as systems running Windows and Linux-based operating systems. In addition, if you’re performing mobile penetration testing, you will be creating payloads for mobile-based operating systems such as Android and iOS. The approach and tools used for payload development can significantly vary across these platforms. For example, the tools and vulnerabilities exploited for Android and iOS systems are quite different from those for Windows and Linux.
More importantly, you will need to consider whether your targeted systems are running any antimalware programs that are designed to detect and prevent any malicious code on the host. If a targeted system has an antimalware application installed, either it’s a native application such as Microsoft Defender Antivirus (sometimes referred to as Windows Defender)...
