Once you’ve covered the essentials of antivirus research and bypassing, you'll get hands-on with bypassing antivirus software using obfuscation, encryption, packing, PowerShell, and more. Toward the end, the book covers security improvement recommendations, useful for both antivirus vendors as well as for developers to help strengthen the security and malware detection capabilities of antivirus software. By the end of this security book, you'll have a better understanding of antivirus software and be able to confidently bypass antivirus software.

Chapter 1: Introduction to the Security Landscape

This chapter provides an overview of our connected world. Specifically, it looks at how cybercriminals in the cyber landscape are becoming more sophisticated and dangerous. It looks at how they abuse the worldwide connectivity between people and technology. In recent years, the damage from cyberattacks has become increasingly destructive and the majority of the population actually thinks that antivirus software will protect them from all kinds of cyber threats. Of course, this is not true and there are always security aspects that need to be dealt with in order to improve antivirus software's overall security and detections.

Many people and organizations believe that if they have antivirus software installed on their endpoints, they are totally protected. However, in this book, we will demonstrate – based on our original research of several antivirus products – why this is not completely true. In this book, we will describe the types of antivirus engines on the market, explore how antivirus software deals with threats, demonstrate the ways in which antivirus software can be bypassed, and much more.

In this chapter, we will explore the following topics:

  • Defining malware and its types
  • Exploring protection systems
  • Antivirus – the basics
  • Antivirus bypass in a nutshell
