In our previous Issue, readers read about a Batch Obfuscation engine named BATCLOAK engine that was recently used in making ROKRAT bypass Antivirus engines. You have also read how many AV’s failed to detect the BATLOAK payloads as malicious. In this issue, readers will practically learn about the methods used by BATLOAK to make malware Fully UnDetectable (FU-D). Note that these methods are not just used by BATLOAK but many other Batch Obfuscators in the market. So let’s start. First, let us create a simple Batch script as shown below. As you have known by now reading our magazine Issues, this script starts a Powershell window after execution. However, this is not the only way to start Powershell console in Batch.
