🧩 Innovative Techniques for Bypassing EDR in Red Teaming Engagements. Red Teaming engagements simulate realistic attacks to evaluate an organization’s security, often facing challenges from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) software. In a recent case, a team discovered an outdated screenshot tool that allowed for custom plugin installations, leading to a series of attempts to execute malicious code. After several failed strategies, including modifying DLLs and using module initializers, they successfully injected code into a DLL with a PE native entry point, enabling execution upon plugin installation. This approach highlights the effectiveness of using custom extension handlers to evade detection and emphasizes the complexities of initial access in cybersecurity assessments.
