By utilizing EDRSilencer, threat actors are hijacking red-team tools like an endpoint detection and response tool capable of blocking 16 common EDR tools. This manipulation aims to disrupt communication, prevent alerts and telemetry reports, and offers evasion methods. Researchers highlight the need for advanced detection mechanisms and threat hunting strategies to tackle these techniques, considering the potential for successful ransomware attacks and operational disruptions
The implications of using EDRSilencer mark a significant tactical shift by threat actors, necessitating organizations to be proactive and vigilant in countering these evasion tools. ```https://www.darkreading.com/endpoint-security/bad-actors-manipulate-red-team-tools-evade-detection
