Antivirus bypass of payloads to launch advanced client-side attacks

Penetration testing is the most common form of cybersecurity solution aimed at assessing the security of a system or network. They are a fundamental aspect of building a secure and reliable infrastructure for networks of all sizes. Generating custom payloads to launch advanced client-side attacks will do no good if they are detected and blocked by prevention and protection programs. In this article, we'll use Kali Linux to explore various techniques and "coders" we'll use to make our payloads as undetectable as possible by the anti-virus programs we'll perform penetration testing with.
