Evasion Techniques for Elastic EDR During Lateral Movement
/ 1 min read
🎭 Techniques for Evading Elastic EDR During Lateral Movement Explored. The article details a practical approach to bypassing Elastic Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) while performing lateral movement between two machines, WKSTN-1 and WKSTN-2, both equipped with EDR agents. The author outlines various evasion techniques, such as altering file extensions and modifying payloads to avoid detection alerts. Key strategies include changing a loader’s extension to .png and later to .scr to facilitate file transfer and execution without triggering alerts. The process culminates in successfully establishing a beacon on WKSTN-2, demonstrating the effectiveness of these evasion methods against Elastic EDR. The article serves as a guide for security professionals interested in understanding EDR limitations and lateral movement tactics.
