“Often, the battle goes not to the strongest, but rather to the most persistent.” — OTW In earlier articles, we walked through everything from getting the first C2 online to gaining a foothold on a machine and escalating privileges. Most…
From memory-only implants and OS configuration tricks to LD_PRELOAD hooks, rc.local startup hooks, and cloud-relay tunneling. A strategic playbook shows how advanced techniques complement basic persistence to build a resilient foothold.
Learn registry-based Windows persistence with AppInit DLLs, LSASS packages, Winlogon hijacks, and Office keys. These methods survive reboots.
Welcome back, cyberwarriors. We are continuing our session on Sliver C2 and practicing in a real environment. It’s always best to apply your skills in the real world, where you learn fast. Your actions must be well thought-out and careful…
Welcome back, cyberwarriors. In our previous chapter, we explored domain reconnaissance and emphasized how critical it is to understand your target environment in depth. Even a small Active Directory domain can contain a surprisingly complex network of access control lists…
Learn how PowerShell can be weaponized for maximum disruption. From RAM and CPU overloads to wiping licenses, disabling hardware, and corrupting the Master Boot Record.
Learn advanced Windows persistence through hidden accounts, registry hijacks, IFEO tricks, GFlags abuse, and WMI event subscriptions. These stealthy techniques weaponize system settings to ensure durable backdoors across reboots.
Learn basic Windows persistence to maintain access through shell loops, autostart entries, scheduled tasks, services, and in-memory payloads. Each method balances stealth, privilege, and durability.
In the first part of this project, I explored how artificial intelligence can be used to simulate the early stages of a stealthy APT—focusing on polyglot files, in-memory execution, and basic command-and-control behavior. Everything was generated by the AI: from…
Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to replicate the stealthy behavior of a modern cyber‑attack using artificial intelligence? As part of my research, I focused on the techniques used by a Linux-based threat known as Koske — malware that…
