Enumerating the environment for AV and EDR
Before attempting any evasion techniques, it’s essential to understand the security landscape of the target system. This section focuses on identifying and analyzing the presence of AV and EDR solutions using Bash scripting. We’ll explore practical methods of gathering information about installed security software, active monitoring processes, and system configurations that may impact our pentesting activities. By using Bash commands and scripts, we’ll develop a systematic approach to reconnaissance. This will enable more effective and targeted evasion strategies in subsequent phases of our assessment.
Environment reconnaissance is a critical first step in any pentest engagement, especially when dealing with systems protected by AV and EDR solutions. This process involves gathering detailed information about the target system’s security measures, which is essential for several reasons:
