In this context, this article introduces the HookChain, a look from another perspective at widely known techniques, which when combined, provide an additional layer of sophisticated evasion against traditional EDR systems. +Through a precise combination of IAT Hooking techniques, dynamic SSN resolution, and indirect system calls, HookChain redirects the execution flow of Windows subsystems in a way that remains invisible to the vigilant eyes of EDRs that only act on Ntdll.dll, without requiring changes to the source code of the applications and malwares involved. +This work not only challenges current conventions in cybersecurity but also sheds light on a promising path for future protection strategies, leveraging the understanding that continuous evolution is key to the effectiveness of digital security. +By developing and exploring the HookChain technique, this study significantly contributes to the body of knowledge in endpoint security, stimulating the development of more robust and adaptive solutions that can effectively address the ever-changing dynamics of digital threats. This work aspires to inspire deep reflection and advancement in the research and development of security technologies that are always several steps ahead of adversaries. + +## DEF CON 32 + +The full research findings, results and a PoC will be unveiled at DEF CON 32. + +**Note:** The code will be released at the same time here. + +**See you!** + +## My public releases regarding HookChain: + +- [Cylance bypass](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/helviojunior_hookchain-edrbypass-lsassdump-activity-7212439618598686720-mfNm?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) +- [SentinelOne bypass](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/helviojunior_hookchain-edrbypass-lsassdump-activity-7208853059592982530-0Ufa?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) +- [CrowdStrike bypass](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/helviojunior_hookchain-havoc-edr-activity-7181441094356783104-nyk_?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) +- [CrowdStrike bypass - again](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/helviojunior_hookchain-edrbypass-lsassdump-activity-7188911783510724609-iaoV?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) +- [Trend Apex One bypass](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/helviojunior_hookchain-havoc-edr-activity-7183817134488051713-J3d-?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) +- [BitDefender bypass](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/helviojunior_bypass-bypassedr-hookchain-activity-7179578975701123072-tISP?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) +- [Call for EDR/XDR product with zero answers](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/helviojunior_hookchain-edrbypass-xdrbypass-activity-7188225698434596865-3Jxy?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) \ No newline at end of file
