Hiding Metasploit Shellcode to Evade Windows Defender
Being on the offensive side in the security field, I personally have a lot of
respect for the researchers and engineers in the antivirus industry, and the
companies dedicated to investing so much in them. If malware development is a
cat-and-mouse game, then I would say that the industry creates some of the most
terrifying hunters. Penetration testers and red teamers suffer the most from
this while using Metasploit [https://www.rapid7.com/products/metasploit/], which
