reverse-eng-edr-analysis
Reverse engineer the EDR/AV on an authorized target host, then evade it — fingerprint the product, dump its userland hook table, and assemble a matching bypass stack: ntdll unhooking, direct/indirect syscalls (Hell's/Halo's/Tartarus Gate), ETW and AMSI patching, hardware-breakpoint Blindside, call-stack spoofing, PPID spoof, sleep masks. Load for "bypass EDR", implant OPSEC against CrowdStrike/Defender/SentinelOne, or when telemetry keeps killing your payload. Signals: unhook, direct syscall, ETW patch, AMSI patch, ETW-TI, Sysmon evasion, MITRE T1562. Pentest only.

# EDR analysis & evasion (red team)
## When it applies
An authorized red-team / adversary-emulation engagement requires an implant to survive on a host
running a modern EDR, or you're evaluating an EDR's detection coverage against your own
environment. Confirm the engagement covers defense evasion in writing first (`tradecraft-scope-roe`
+ `scope.txt`) — this is pentest-only, never bug bounty. You need the EDR's internals understood
(`reverse-eng-binary-triage` on its DLLs) before you can evade them deliberately.
## Why it works
An EDR is not a black box: it watches four surfaces — userland `ntdll` inline hooks, kernel
callbacks (Ps/Cm/Ob routines), ETW telemetry (notably the Threat-Intelligence provider), and AMSI
scans — and every one of them can be reverse engineered with IDA/windbg and then neutralized with a
matching technique. No single bypass is enough (unhooking doesn't stop ETW; an AMSI patch doesn't
