Fresh research from the team (@vkamluk / @juanandres_gs) - this one goes back quite awhile!

I decided to commit another part to the Applied Reverse Engineering series with an article diving into rolling your own primitive tracer for discrete purposes; coupled with an analysis on outrunning integrity checks.

Our latest post on the blog details a Windows EoP courtesy of @filip_dragovic... "Total Recall – Retracing Your Steps Back to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" - https://t.co/zpk744Jeit
My thoughts are yes, red teaming has got significantly harder over the last few years. The knock on effect is:
1) engagements need more time,
2) teams who don't invest heavily in R&D (either in-house or outsourced) will be left behind,
3) there's less things shared publicly as a consequence,
4) lots of teams have tried to compensate by assuming breach, which as a result has led to less innovation in the IA space
However, I disagree that IA is anywhere near dead even targeting the top 1%. The vast majority of our engagements have a large IA component and we're still successful in >75% of cases. Yes the points mentioned are a pita - AWL is a great control, but there's equally a plethora of file formats that support scripting; get creative - Yes MOTW restricts some things - but there's a variety of ways around it if you're creative (and I'm not talking about ISOs 🙄)
Don't do this. Don't make this mistake. Do something cooler. Listen to your peers when they recommend reviewing other peoples research.

One of the new features we built for #Nighthawk customers is HawkEye. This is an AI bot built on Opus 4.5 that uses RAG to ingest all the #Nighthawk documentation, sample profiles, APIs, and sample source code. It's able to help explain features, build profiles, write source code for modules and much much more...
Want to consume Microsoft-Windows-Threat-Intelligence but Antimalware-PPL getting you down? No problem! I will post a blog & POC soon - but this allows you to consume Threat-Intelligence without PPL _and_ w/o any kernel patching/driver loading gymnastics! Only need admin!
Today, we’re releasing watchTowr Labs’ @chudyPB’s BlackHat .NET research, owning Barracuda, Ivanti and more solutions.
Enjoy the read as Piotr explains a new .NET Framework primitive, used to achieve pre- and post-auth RCE on numerous enterprise appliances.

Thank you all for helping me choose the cover for the Go Concurrency book. I didn't expect so much participation, and I really appreciate it!
Here's the final version, along with the table of contents.
Low-Level Software Security for Compiler Developers
If you ever wanted a textbook-style guide to memory safety bugs, undefined behavior, exploit mitigations, side channels, etc.
All in one spot, this free book is it:

@Danukeru@Octoberfest73@MDSecLabs Because I am using addPreEmitPass() hook which gets initialized before any plugin is loaded. The pass in your project works at the IR level, not touching any backend components directly.
