Targeted attacks with public tools

itman · Oct 1, 2019

Over the last few years we have tested more than 50 different products using over 5,000 targeted attacks. And there's news, both good and bad.

In this article we will look at the different tools available, how effective they are at helping attackers bypass anti-malware products and how security vendors have been handling this type of threat for over a year.

Do expensive security products block free attack tools?

If the headline is a question, the answer is usually, "no". These attacks were run in a realistic way using publicly available hacking tools and the results were surprising. As attackers, our success levels were far greater than we’d predicted. Using free tools that are widely distributed on the internet we were able to compromise large numbers of systems, often without detection.

The "take away" from this article is PowerShell Empire which I have posted about numerous times in this forum is the hands down winner as far as penetration tools go. Rightly so since it will bypass any in place restrictions on targeted device locally installed PowerShell. It is the ideal tool for attacking Win 7 systems since Powershell 2.0 will run w/o issue on those devices. It will also work fine on Win 10 devices whose owners have foolishly installed or let some software install .Net 2.0 - 3.5.
