The race between cyberattackers and defenders is intense and ongoing. As the capabilities of these runtime detection tools evolve, so too do the techniques employed by adversaries to get around them.  In this talk, we uncover the intricate landscape of evasion strategies, presenting innovative methods to outmaneuver runtime detection mechanisms. From obfuscation and polymorphism to sandbox evasion and behavioral camouflage, each tactic represents a nuanced approach aimed at subverting detection and infiltrating systems undetected.  By dissecting real-world case studies and exploring the underlying principles of detection avoidance, this presentation equips defenders with invaluable insights into the evolving tactics of threat actors and underscores the critical importance of adaptive security measures in safeguarding against emerging threats.
