Antivirus is dead-long live the antivirus! In the proverbial cat-and-mouse game of cybersecurity neither the attacker nor the defender can maintain their advantage for very long. But the bad guys don’t exactly take this challenge – they respond with their own bypass ideas. During this session we strive to understand if antivirus is really dead and if it has reached the status where it should not be the only protection used. I demonstrated techniques of bypassing the antivirus mechanisms and show tactics used today by malware that allow it to run and what are the prevention methods to avoid being attacked by the newest innovations.

- 8. Signature-based Behavior-based Attempts to open, view, delete, and/or modify files Attempts to format disk drives and other unrecoverable disk operations Modifications to the logic of executable files, scripts of macros Modification of critical system settings, such as start-up settings Scripting of e-mail and instant messaging clients to send executable content Initiation of network communications
- 9. Wrapping ttaches the malicious payload (the installer or the malware itself) to a legitimate file.
- 12. Custom code User Mode Loaders Executable is extracted and decrypted in memory Code is loaded and executed dynamically In Powershell.exe – not every module is embedded – they can be created and loaded during the execution In Win32API: Custom code mimics LoadLibrary() Interesting: During the compilation, that’s what helps us: CompilerParameters.CompilerOptions = "/platform:x64";

- 21. Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) It is a generic interface standard that allows applications and services to integrate with any antimalware product Techniques used It supports a calling structure allowing for file and memory or stream scanning, content source URL/IP reputation checks, and other techniques Allows correlation of events The different fragments of a malicious payload can be associated to reach a more informed decision, which would be much harder to reach just by looking at those fragments in isolation.
- 25. 1. The only cure is a _complete_ code execution prevention 2. Anti-Exploit solutions make a lot of sense 3. Sysmon (absolutely!) 4. At the end it is a matter of budged and price 5. Code execution prevention solutions are often misconfigured

Wrapping: Using static signatures to detect wrapper files is largely ineffective since new ones are easily and regularly created and often generates false positives. This technique is commonly used by Windows and OS X malware distributed via pirated software and P2P networks. . IceFog is a well-known malware commonly wrapped with a legitimate-looking CleanMyMac application and used to target OS X users. On the Windows platform, OnionDuke has been used with legitimate Adobe installers shared over Tor networks to infect machines. Obfuscation Using XOR encoding is one way to do this. Hiding process and file names, registry entries, URLs and other useful information can significantly slow down the investigation/reverse engineering of new malware samples.

- Obfuscation – zmianie kodu, po kompilacji wyglada inaczej, zmiana nazw fukcji, inny zapis stale, inne zmienne, a lot of spaghetti code.

Hiding process and file names, registry entries, URLs and other useful information can significantly slow down the investigation/reverse engineering of new malware samples. Anti debugging: . For example, the ZeroAccess malware implemented a self-debugging technique in order to block external debugging attempts. Another example is malware attempting to delay its execution (or sleep) for an extended period of time. This is useful for bypassing sandboxing solutions since these only keep binaries in an emulated environment for a specific period of time before classifying them as benign and releasing them to the network. Targeting. This technique is implemented when malware is designed to attack a specific type of system (e.g. Windows XP SP 3), application (e.g. Internet Explorer 10) and/or configuration (e.g. detecting a machine not running VMWare tools, which is often a telltale sign for usage of virtualization). Targeting ensures that the malware is only triggered and installed when specific conditions are met, which enables it to evade detection in sandboxes because they do not resemble the host being attacked.
