Hi, my name is William Hardy,
and I would like to welcome you to my Defense Evasion with Meterpreter course.
This course is designed to teach you everything you need to know about
defense evasion when using Metasploit's Meterpreter payloads.
I will demonstrate how cutting‑edge endpoint and network
security solutions can be evaded and perimeter defenses
defeated by a skilled attacker.
We will be customizing shell code, encoders, and payloads, in
addition to covering multiple evasion techniques such as
anti‑emulation and anti‑sandboxing, to name a few.
By the end of this course,
you will have an in‑depth understanding of how
Meterpreter and antivirus solutions work.
Defense evasion is a required skill for penetration testers,
red teamers, or anyone working on the offensive side of information security.
You will not be able to deliver much value to your clients
during engagements if you keep getting blocked by antivirus and
are unable to reach your objectives.
You may also be interested in defense evasion due to increased
adoption rates for so‑called next generation antivirus and
endpoint detection and response solutions.
This increased adoption rate leads to an increase in income
for companies developing security software,
which, in turn, leads to more research and development, making the
solutions more effective and harder to bypass.
You may also want to learn about defense evasion if you work on the
defensive side of information security because, after all,
you cannot defend against something effectively if
you do not fully understand it.
Finally, if you work in a company which develops security solutions,
this course will give you plenty of ideas on what not to do and how you could
fine tune your products to ensure they remain effective.
