LIVING OFF THE LAND: ATTACKS THAT BARELY TOUCH THE DISK
RUNNING CODE WITH SYSTEM TOOLS
Sophisticated attacks avoid dropping files and instead rely on system tools to
run malicious code directly from remote or hidden sources. The absence of files
leaves AV scanners without the necessary triggers and forensics without
persistent artifacts to recover. While security solutions have evolved, many
don’t check memory or review behaviors at runtime. Some rely on static
approaches that don’t dynamically recognize new attack methods.
Read about fileless attacks and defenses
FILELESS IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE
Attacks can go fileless in many ways. Attackers often use scripts, but they also
attempt to inject code into memory, hijack COM objects, and even insert
malicious code into firmware. Although these fileless techniques have figured in
targeted attacks, they have become more common in commodity malware campaigns.
Learn about fileless techniques
PROTECT WITH MICROSOFT DEFENDER FOR ENDPOINT
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides several layers of defenses, including
next-generation antivirus protection powered by behavior monitoring and runtime
script analysis. Both AV and EDR sensors use machine learning algorithms that
actively learn from both static and behavioral data to identify new fileless
attacks.
