Veil Framework

In this chapter, we will be working with the Veil Framework. This framework contains multiple tools to create payloads, hide payloads within executables or PDFs, deliver payloads, gather information, and allow for post-exploitation. Many hackers will use Veil because of how effective it is at encoding and delivering payloads. Remaining undetected by antivirus (AV) or Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) is a top priority for any hacker. This chapter will discuss how Veil is able to avoid detection by AV/IDS and how to best use the other Veil tools to maximum effect. This chapter will also contain a lab that will demonstrate how to create an encrypted payload using Veil-Evasion. After reading this chapter, you will have a solid understanding of the Veil Framework. You will also familiarize yourself with other powerful Veil tools such as Veil-Pillage, Veil-Ordnance, and Veil-PowerTools.

He would provide network and endpoint security advice as well as social engineering awareness training to employees and individuals. He is also a paid cyber security researcher, sponsored by local businesses to further the advancement of cyber security methods and applied knowledge. He is the co-founder of an open society of ethical hackers that meets weekly to discuss and apply new cyber security skills. They have full access to both a lab and cutting-edge ethical hacking equipment, to develop new methods in offensive security. He is also an inventor. He and his business partner have patents pending on various cyber security tools and software. They continue with their research with great passion and drive. He is committed to reshaping and setting new standards in the world of cyber security. With the level of collaboration from his colleagues, he firmly believes that they can achieve this.
