Disable Windows Defender Signatures
Description
This module with appropriate rights let to use the Windows Defender command-line utility a run and automation tool (mpcmdrun.exe) in order to disable all the signatures available installed for the compromised machine. The tool is prominently used for scheduling scans and updating the signature or definition files, but there is a switch created to restore the installed signature definitions to a previous backup copy or to the original default set of signatures which is none, disabling all the signatures and allowing malware to execute even with the Windows Defender solution enabled.

Module Options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
