SliverC2 Test + old code which still working...
this C# code was for 2019-2020 and i talked about that in my ebook "Bypassing AVs by C#.NET Programming v1.0" (Published in 2016 up to 2020 , free) but code still working on Windows Defender with (update 2023/08/28) , a little bit code changed by me which you can see in video , VirtualProtectEx added for changing RWX to X...

but in this new test, as you can see "Sliver-C2" (which i still think is much better than CobaltStrike) changed X Protection Mode to RW "in-Memory" by itself (not by my code), yeah Sliver-c2 done it and this will help you as penteser/redteamer to bypass almost all Avs and you as Blue teamer should learn how Attackers will bypass your defensive tools by these Simple/Advanced techniques... these things are very important for Defenders and in my new ebook "Bypassing AVs By C# Programming v2.0" , i will talk about these things to defenders/blue teamers also #redteamers and #pentesters or #SecurityResearchers etc.

btw this code is old and available in my github for ebook v1.0
also you can see Cobaltstrike test video here: lnkd.in/eCyxjN6m

#NorthKorean #hackers target #SecurityResearchers with a new #backdoor | #ArsTechnica

"#ThreatActors connected to the North Korean government have been targeting #security #researchers in a hacking campaign that uses new techniques and #malware in hopes of gaining a foothold inside the companies the targets work for, researchers said.
Researchers from security firm #Mandiant said on Thursday that they first spotted the campaign last June while tracking a phishing campaign targeting a #US-based customer in the #technology industry. The hackers in this campaign attempted to infect targets with three new malware families, dubbed by Mandiant as #Touchmove, #Sideshow, and #Touchshift. The hackers in these attacks also demonstrated new capabilities to counter endpoint detection tools while operating inside targets’ #cloud environments."

i saw some article and post which some red-teamers and pentesters talked about what they know and what they can do via C++ and why they think they are better than others ;D (too much arrogant) just because they know little thing to do something via C++ and they think with other language you CAN NOT DO that (just because they don't know nothing about other languages) and they talk about other languages like Java or C# or ... and said hey Java is awful or C# even is not Programming language (these guys make me fun ;D, and its clear they really don't know what they say about others and other programming languages ;p) etc
to me (or probably to all of us) this is not important who are you and what you did or how many years you have experience in #redteaming #pentesting #blueteaming
but the thing is really important to me "be #humble as [adult guy]" and believe me mocking others just show us which you know nothing about that thing which you talked about that (like other #programming #languages )

I saw a lot Pentester/Redteamers which even some of them are younger than me which have/had lower than me experience of pentesting/redteaming or ... but they have very nice & powerful skills in programming to bypassing AVs/EDRs "better than me" and i learned a lot things from them, some of them are C# developers C++ Java Python/Rust etc, believe this or not even some C++ Developer or C# Developer which are not in my cyber security field was my best instructors and i learned from them a lot things,but because they are Developers i did not ignore them for learning new things from them etc
also
i saw some #Redteamers or #Pentesters which never write C2 server/client code by-itself (always work with #C2 tools which made/wrote by others) talked about other Redteamers/ #Securityresearchers which made C2 server by-itself with any languages like C++/C#/java... and mocking them for their works or their codes, and again that because they are not real/good Programmer and they "can not do" that more often thats why they talk about others like that ;), believe me Programming is not Easy in these Fields like Pentesting/Redteaming and C2 programming really IS NOT EASY to do that especially if you want to write C2 server by-itself so you guys really don't know any thing about programming and still talk about that ;D

i know C++ but i never ever talking about C++ like that which you can't do that in C++ and only in C# you can do it, instead i said you can do this in C# simply which probably you can not do this in C++ SIMPLY"
that means just because "i am not C++ Pro Programmer" i can not say you CAN NOT DO THAT IN C++...(because i know you can do that probably in any languages but how).

does not matter how are you and where you live, or work for who, important thing is "be humble" and "be good learner" without "arrogant, childish things"

finally to those make code by itself let others learn from you and don't listen to these type of
guys (make your own chik chik)

I am "you.com" fan ;D
two simple tricks to create your code via #AI NICE...

this platform is very useful for #SecurityResearchers , #Pentesters / #Redteamers / #blueteamers / #CyberSecurity / #instructors / #infosec guys/ #developers and i just use "YOU.COM" more than Google, probably more than 80% of my work/research is on you.com platform and maybe 20% in google or ... , thank you guys in "you.com" and WELL DONE....
#chatgpt #youdotcom #you #ai

Note: another trick[2], you can for example Turn PYTHON into JAVA via Code Translate on you.com
steps => (in you.com go to code then type in search bar "code translate", Done) (it seems only these languages supported for translation [C++/JAVA/Python], where is C#? ;D)

simple trick[1] to create your code via #AI NICE...
steps for create your code via #AI => (in you.com go to code then type in search bar "code complete", Done)

I am you.com fan ;D
this platform is very useful for #SecurityResearchers , #Pentesters / #Redteamers / #blueteamers / #CyberSecurity / #instructors / #infosec guys/ #developers and...
as cyber security researcher and pentester this you-chat and search help me too much, a lot people in the world now get this point which you.com is awesome and also is useful/helpful for their research etc, for me this was helpful/useful to research or make some great new codes or new technique based on AI search/chat result which made by you.com platform and for research and learning new things i just use "YOU.COM" more than Google.com, probably more than 80% of my work/research is on you.com platform and maybe 20% in google or ... , thank you guys in "you.com" and WELL DONE....
#chatgpt #youdotcom #you #ai

for learning how can use this platform watch their videos one-by-one they are awesome and really good explained => youtube.com/@yousearchengine

for "Developers": one of good example from you.com => youtube.com/watch?v=BO6E3UVmkm

for "Developers": Turn PYTHON into JAVA? Code Translate on you.com => youtube.com/watch?v=JC_KvIjXDK

those Cyber Security guys which called itself #pentester or #Redteamer or #SecurityResearcher "just because" they are in university (learning something As [basics ;D more often] or academic things or out-of-date things ;D) and they "did not have any Experience" in Cyber Security Fields (even 1 year) and some of them even did not have any good/unique/new Cyber Security Research or tools/codes (which shared before to public).
and yeah we call them beginner "geniuses" in cyber security lol

Vs

those Cyber Security Guys which they have at least 3-5 years experience of learning real/new/unique things in these fields like #penetrationtesting or #redteaming or #securityresearch .

believe me your academic things are "Bullshit" and your instructors did not have updated content , they even don't have good viewpoint for cyber security fields like Penetration test or ... ,more often they don't have any experience of working with Offensive tools like Modern C2 servers, they don't know how you can write Offensive Codes like Writing #C2 server/agent (and why should do that) or they don't know how you can writing Offensive codes for bypassing #avs or #EDRs or #bypassing other things ... you don't know about these things or a lot other things which you should learn them outside of university "by yourself".

you can learn these things from #infosec #communities (with read Articles or Learn Courses which shared Publicly or Privately by #SecurityResearchers and #Pentesters or #redteamers or #blueteamers) and you need at least 2-3 years experiences for learn these new things.

Some guys think if you know all tools in Kali linux then you can call yourself #Pentester or Red-teamer, which is not true "geniuses".
Penetration testing is not about Tools , its about background "concepts" of tools omfg "remember this". (its about logic behind tools)
