The “I can’t believe its already Jan 30!” edition
This is very interesting. Russia is sending combat robots to Ukraine for testing. It will be interesting to see how they perform, their capabilities and limitations.
1/ At this point, this sounds more PR than a realistic tactic: Russia's Rogozin claims that Marker UGVs will be modified with antitank weapons to target Leopard and Abrams tanks in Ukraine. Mostly because Markers were not yet really tested in a dynamic combat environment.

Apparently, Marker UGVs are getting loaded for combat tests in Ukraine - now its 4 vehicles instead of 3. That's 4 out of 5 existing Markers. t.me/rogozin_do/3670

Bypassing (some) EDR stack trace based detections
First part of this series explains the trick used to bypass EDR.
Essentially, call an ntdll function that takes a callback as an argument, rather than calling the API wrappers. To ensure the stack is clean, the ntdll function is executed in another thread. Now the code has no dodgy parent from some weird memory region.
Some EDRs catch indirect syscalls with callstack analysis. Here is a totally new technique which build a clean callstack originating from ntdll to avoid detections. No ROP required and tested and works against every EDR. Enjoy! 🔥

For a load of other tricks from a bygone era, check out an article I wrote for Phrack twenty years ago. We had to release it anonymously because myself and the other co-author worked for companies that produced HIPS products. Jamey Butler wrote the shellcode included in the article. We’d agreed that everyone would be anonymous, but things didn’t work out like that.

I am fucking *begging* you to not feed LLM outputs to anything resembling an `eval` statement.
