Module 12. Evading IDS, antivirus and Honeypots

IDSs, which provide an extra layer of security to the organization’s infrastructure, are attractive targets for attackers. Attackers implement various IDS evasion techniques to bypass this security mechanism and compromise the infrastructure. Many IDS evasion techniques circumvent detection through multiple methods and can adapt to the best possible method for each system.

The firewall operates on a predefined set of rules. Using extensive knowledge and skill, an attacker can bypass the firewall by employing various bypassing techniques. Using these techniques, the attacker tricks the firewall to not filter the generated malicious traffic.
