ISTR Living off the land and fileless attack techniques

October 12, 2018

“Living off the land” is one clear trend in targeted cyber attacks at the moment. Attackers are increasingly making use of tools already installed on targeted computers or are running simple scripts and shellcode directly in memory. Creating less new files on the hard disk means less chance of being detected by traditional security tools and therefore minimizes the risk of an attack being blocked.
