CheckPlease - Payload-Agnostic Implant Security

Presented at BSidesLV 2017, July 26, 2017, 10 a.m. (55 minutes)

In this talk, we present CheckPlease, our new repository of implant security modules. CheckPlease is unique in that it is payload-agnostic, meaning we implement every module in PowerShell, Python, Go, Ruby, C#, Perl, and C. In our talk, we not only present on a breadth of new techniques, but we also walk step-by-step through their implementations in newer languages that are seemingly a major increase in payload deliverance. CheckPlease will serve as the central repository for implant security and, as a byproduct, sandbox detection. In our opinion, the future of sandbox detection is in implant security; by targeting your payload, your odds of executing in a sandbox decrease dramatically. This talk will provide insight into the newest implant security techniques, their implementations, and how payloads in new languages interact with the Windows API.
