Shedding light on the ABYSSWORKER driver
The ABYSSWORKER driver is a malicious tool used in conjunction with MEDUSA ransomware to disable anti-malware systems. It employs a HEARTCRYPT-packed loader and a revoked certificate-signed driver to target and silence EDR vendors. The driver imitates a legitimate CrowdStrike Falcon driver and uses obfuscation techniques to hinder analysis. It provides various functionalities including file manipulation, process and driver termination, and EDR system disabling. The driver's capabilities include removing callbacks, replacing driver functions, killing system threads, and detaching mini-filter devices. It uses unconventional methods like creating IRPs from scratch to perform file operations. The malware's sophisticated approach demonstrates the evolving tactics of cybercriminals in evading detection and disabling security measures.

@FritzAdalis @jerry "Baghdad Bob" gets put into cold storage and is brought out on occasions where his level of obliviousness is appropriate. For example - explaining the #CrowdStrike incident which was neither cyber, nor a security incident as it turns out.
@ceotech Only proof that people make mistakes, especially in stressful situations.
Did you know that there is an immense threat of making followup misyakes or REALLY getting #hacked while you're going through an incident? Saw that with #crowdstrike
#cybersecurity is about #people at least as much if not more so than it is about #tech
Also a good reason to use services like simplelogin.io or buy your own domain and set up a #catchall so you can use a different mail address for each account
Friday's used to be relaxing. Now they're spent wondering how to build adhoc tables in logscale so I can explain why cmd -
leads to a multi-stage malware deployment.

Cyberbro has now a #crowdstrike engine to get device count and #CTI data
Just explored Falcon RTR (Real Time Response) and it’s super fun to use with Powershell scripts!
2024: 79% of cyber intrusions were malware-free, up from 40% in 2019. Voice phishing has overtaken phishing as the top first access method. #CyberSecurity #CrowdStrike #VoicePhishing #MalwareFree #Phishing #CyberTrends #DataSecurity #ThreatDetection #TechNews

Nach den weltweiten Computerstörungen, die im Sommer 2024 durch ein fehlerhaftes Update einer Cybersicherheitslösung verursacht wurden, haben wir als BSI gemeinsam mit #Crowdstrike und #Microsoft den Vorfall aufgearbeitet.

@emag @roknrol malicious compliance is the way to go. Was accused by HR of cheating on my timesheet, and that "the rules apply to everyone" (i entered the building at 8 am, not 7:57), thus I made sure to also leave on time when #CrowdStrike crowdfucked the company
Fiddling around with jamfnow and crowdstrike. Is there any way to install falcon automatically? Maybe via profiles? I tried to find one, but the crowdstrike docs seem to be incomplete.
Could anyone push me in the right direction?
