Living Off the Land (LOTL) attacks involve threat actors using legitimate system tools in compromised environments to execute malicious activities while evading detection. These attacks exploit the trust in native utilities like PowerShell, cmd.exe, regsvr32.exe, and WMI/WMIC.exe.

This e-book analyzes the 10 most commonly abused Windows tools and their weaponization by attackers. It also covers defensive strategies and introduces Bitdefender's GravityZone Proactive Hardening and Attack Surface Reduction (PHASR) solution, which:

• Uses machine learning to identify uncommon behaviors
• Restricts unnecessary tool usage
• Adapts to changes

Read the e-book to learn how you can build a resilient security posture.
