Obfuscation is an essential component of detection evasion methodology and preventing analysis of malicious software. Obfuscation originated to protect software and intellectual property from being stolen or reproduced. While it is still widely used for its original purpose, adversaries have adapted its use for malicious intent.
In this room, we will observe obfuscation from multiple perspectives and break down obfuscation methods.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how to evade modern detection engineering using tool-agnostic obfuscation
- Understand the principles of obfuscation and its origins from intellectual property protection
- Implement obfuscation methods to hide malicious functions
