While SEP detected the original build from the author, it failed to detect it is as malicious when we built it from the source code and SEP allowed it to execute without interruptions. Our second test was Al-Khaser, a know demonstration program of malware behavior and evasion techniques. This indicates that SEP only identifies the original file specifically and cannot detect any of its variants. We started off easy by trying to tackle SEP with Pafish-Macro, a malicious document demonstration by JoeSecurity that employs evasion techniques in Microsoft Office documents.Īs seen in the video, SEP blocks the download attempt from its origin but fails to detect it when we ran the macro from a newly created document. Its endpoint suite for businesses “Symantec Endpoint Protection” (SEP) is one of the most used solutions world-wide and includes both traditional anti-virus capabilities and machine learning & behavioral analysis (according to their website).īut still it suffers from missed detections and there are ways malware authors can bypass their engine.

Symantec is a veteran and one of the largest security firms in the world.

Use different types of files like documents to infect endpoints, e.g.: malicious macros in Microsoft Office documents.

Evasion refers to different tactics malware uses to check if it’s being tested by security systems and researchers.

Polymorphic code (a way to change the code but keep its algorithm intact) to create many “different” samples that behave the same but are identified differently by Anti-malware software.

Malware uses different tricks to prevent its detection, or at least delay it as much as possible:

In previous posts we explained that traditional Anti-malware software is not working anymore and we gave tips on how to improve your security with non-security tools.īut why is your Anti-malware not enough? One of the reasons is that it doesn’t handle changes too well (which is commonplace knowledge among security experts).
