Bypassing the antivirus with files
The exploitation phase of the kill chain is the most dangerous one for the penetration tester or attacker, as they are directly interacting with the target network or system, and there is a high risk of their activity being logged or their identity being discovered. Again, stealth must be employed to minimize the risk to the tester. Although no specific methodology or tool is undetectable, there are some configuration changes and specific tools that will make detection more difficult.
When considering remote exploits, most networks and systems employ various types of defensive controls to minimize the risk of attack. Network devices include routers, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and malware detection software.
To facilitate exploitation, most frameworks incorporate features to make the attack somewhat stealthy. The Metasploit framework allows you to manually set Evasion factors on an exploit-by-exploit basis, determining which factors...
