RATS today in market allow us to edit the host files of windows. What if we inspect the network traffic with fiddler or wireshark during the update of antivirus and block all domains and hosts that send update to the antivirus by editing the host files.
This will prevent the AV from updating further and the stub will remain FUD forever for that particular machine.
Can someone help me compile a list of all update domains for most common AVs?
Am I thinking correctly? 🤨
Not that clever when it comes to exactly this, possibly ask someone like Armada. However I don't think this will work. I'd assume that the AV simply unblocks the domains again. However I have so many times been proven wrong when assuming that security isn't terrible. So I say give it a shot!
I'd agree, AV will probably find a way to still update.
However, you may be able to cook up something that stops it from doing that too.
There still are a few problems however, a sample still more than likely would get spread of your stub and AV would then be trip wired to do certain things when update servers cannot be contacted.
Your best bet is to carefully monitor a variety of AV and analyze its behavior. All this whilsts asking yourself "how does this system have loop holes?" Or "where can I look that the developer's have not?"
If the answer to those questions is as simple as referring to and protecting the Host file, best you keep it private :P
Well, looks like a neat idea, but I would assume AVs aren't so stupid that they won't update themselves just because host files block the domains. IDK, worth giving a shot. I have a few windows servers lying around, I will try this tonight.

Well, its not like AVs will self edit the host files and unblock the domains. The updates must come through some specific channel, what if we block that channel? Carefully analyze which hosts and ports are being used for the purpose and block them via host files or any other method.
I tried sniffing the packets through fiddler, it does not seem to work, would anyone be kind enough to help me with this?

Great, how does that work? I have LL, is there any guide for it?
Also, will the program's internet access remains cut off forever? Even after the system restarts? Does this work with all AVs?

The way I used to do it is I coded my own personal persistence module and a task scheduled event program. Relatively small in size, that would check for my rat process. If not found it would connect to a public site and look for an updated and encrypted link. This would have various fall back sites to scrape from and several built in methods to attempt to remain undetected. Once it found the link for the updated rat file it would download and execute on system level. I've had success with this even after someone ran popular cleaning and antivirus utilities. The key is having multiple fallback methods.

Again I'm not that experienced or educated when it comes to networks, however from what I've read Armada seems pretty good at it. I say you PM him, or wait for him to reply here, he's pretty active.

Interesting ideas, I'll keep an eye on this thread. I like a good discussion.

OP and you are on different tracks. You replace your detected file with new crypted version. OP's idea is never to get detected in the first place.

Still two interesting methods for keeping bots imo. Be cool to see this developed.

Downloading ESET rn gonna post update when im off my vpn again.
thats where you can block the Internet access of other Programs
Interesting, does it have a warning from the AV saying its unable to update at all other than on the AV control panel. Like a notification?

Must have multiple ways to connect/update?

And when trying to block ESET it just doesnt work. They have some protection for that i guess.
or ESET have multiple ways to connect. This worth investigating more, you could still make a good tut on this.

And i probably gonna make a tutorial tomorrow. (Doing some tests b4)
Its still very useful, im pretty sure other antiviruses and definitely the free ones (wich most people use) can be blocked.
When i got time later i'll test AVG Avast Avira etc.
Nice, I'll look forward to your findings.
Quite a few still work. But you can give it a try and report back 🤝
