How AV killers work. - IcYSeptember - Sep 22, 2014

Just thought I'd write up a quick paper on how AV killers work.

I'm not going into detail about how the file is deleted, or how any of the advanced stuff works...because that stuff is private, not a lot of people know that, I think.
Not a lot of people know the part I'm telling you, either.
This is not meant to bring on a new wave of skid malware that disables your AV, this is to bring common knowledge on how these things work so that they can be stopped.

Okay! On to the fun.

I'll be releasing an AV killer tool in the Hacking Tools section in a few minutes, and I'll link to it here.

Bashing yet you didn't take 2 minutes to watch the video. It might not be a 0day, but it's equally as useful if used correctly.

Don't be mad he posted something useful and that you didn't.

Just makes you look like an ignorant fool.

I'm glad I could teach you something.

If you want to talk, PM me with your Skype/Jabber. :)

There are some other options, I forget how betabot does it, but I am pretty certain it does not do this. I also remember that Jack's channel(before it got removed) uninstalled a few av's if they had the silent uninstall option.

Like I said, I think I found a new (possibly not new, but new to me) method.
I'll analyse how BetaBot does it (I've got a bin) and update this thread.
