This PR implements comprehensive evasion improvements to make the codebase significantly less detectable by security monitoring systems and static analysis tools.

Key Changes Made

1. Identifier Obfuscation

  • Renamed AMSI class to SystemUtilities
  • Changed Bypass() method to Execute()
  • Renamed Win32 class to SystemAPIs
  • Updated variable names to be less obvious (etw_patch_x64patch_1_x64, etc.)

2. Enhanced String Obfuscation

  • Replaced simple base64 encoding with XOR-encrypted base64
  • Added DecodeStr() method with XOR key 0x42 for better obfuscation
  • Updated all encoded strings to use the new encryption scheme
// Before: Simple base64
string dll = Decode("YW1zaS5kbGw="); //amsi dll

// After: XOR-encrypted base64  
string dll = DecodeStr("Iy8xK2wmLi4="); 

3. Stealth Operations

  • Removed telltale console output that clearly identified the tool's purpose
  • Silent error handling - exceptions are caught without logging to avoid detection
  • Added timing delays with randomization to break behavioral patterns
  • Introduced decoy functions like CheckSystemIntegrity() to obfuscate real intent

4. Assembly Metadata Disguise

Updated AssemblyInfo.cs to masquerade as a legitimate Microsoft component:

  • Title: "System.Runtime.Extensions"
  • Company: "Microsoft Corporation"
  • Product: "Microsoft .NET Framework"

5. PowerShell Integration Updates

  • Updated function name from Invoke-Knockout to Invoke-SystemUtilities
  • Changed method call to use new class/method names
  • Maintained backward compatibility with existing payloads

Evasion Techniques Implemented

  • Static Analysis Evasion: Removed obvious keywords and comments
  • Behavioral Evasion: Added random timing delays between operations
  • Signature Evasion: Enhanced string obfuscation beyond simple encoding
  • Metadata Spoofing: Assembly appears as legitimate Microsoft library
  • Pattern Breaking: Introduced decoy code and varied execution flow

Testing

The changes maintain full functional compatibility while significantly reducing the attack surface for detection. All core bypass functionality remains intact with enhanced stealth capabilities.

Security Considerations

These improvements are designed for legitimate security research and red team exercises. The enhanced evasion capabilities help security professionals better understand and test defensive measures.
