Windows EDR techniques¶

Welcome to Windows EDR—the digital equivalent of a paranoid bouncer at a nightclub. It side-eyes every script, interrogates each DLL like it’s smuggling contraband, and treats regsvr32.exe as if it’s a known felon (because let’s be honest, it often is).

• Techniques it loves: Memory scraping for malware masquerading as “legit” system processes (looking at you, svchost.exe #4729).

• False positives: When it flags your IT admin’s custom script as “APT-grade tradecraft” (spoiler: it’s just a batch file to reboot printers).

• Real-world translation: “Why is NotMalware.exe trying to disable my EDR? Hmm. SUSPICIOUS.”
