PPID Spoofing

Development

  1. AV Fingerprinting
  2. Replicates the victim environment to test our payloads

Info

We should always disable any kind of cloud-based protection in the AV settings (potentially by outright disconnecting the VM from the internet) so that the AV doesn't upload our carefully crafted payloads to a server somewhere for analysis.
