Antivirus/EDR Evasion & Bypass for Pentesters & Red Teamers | Udemy

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, antivirus (AV) software and Windows Defender are the first lines of defense against malware activities. For ethical hackers, penetration testers, and red teamers, understanding how these malwares and security tools work and how malwares evade Antivirus/EDR is essential for realistic and effective security testing.

This course will teach you to build undetectable Malware which bypasses Antivirus/EDR which is used in professional penetration tests and red team operations. You’ll learn how antivirus engines detect threats (malwares) , explore common detection methods like signature-based scanning, heuristic analysis, and behavioral monitoring, and discover multiple bypass (evasion) strategies that work in real-world scenarios.

Through hands-on demonstrations, you’ll build and modify malwares, apply obfuscation techniques, use packing and encryption, and perform in-memory execution to bypass malware detection. Each section includes clear, step-by-step guidance so you can confidently reproduce the techniques in a controlled, legal lab environment without causing harm.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Build an undetectable Malware which bypasses Antivirus/EDR for Red Teaming, Penetration testing
• Obfuscate malwares in multiple ways to bypass Antivirus/EDR
• Implement multiple AV bypass methods safely and effectively in malwares
• Apply real-world red team evasion techniques for better assessments

This course is intended for educational purposes only. All techniques are demonstrated in a legal, isolated lab environment for learning, testing, and skill improvement.
