Bypassing Windows Defender (10 Ways)
The Donut project by TheWover is a very effective Position-Independent shellcode generator from PEs/DLLs. Depending on the input file given, it works different ways. For this PoC I will be using Mimikatz, so let us see how it works at a high level. From a brief look at the code, this would be the main routine of the Donut.exe executable tool:

Cannot Load .NET assemblies in memory!
Note that I used the loader from donut and it worked as expected! What am I doing wrong here people?

BEST KALI TOOL TO MAKE UNDETECTABLE BACKDOOR 2022?
syswhispers2 -- tool for helping unhook userland hooks by reimplementing syscalls. Basically just generates a header file; you still have to write the loader yourself.

Are the logs from all .evtx and .etl files included with Get-EventLog and Get-WinEvent?
Yes, and based on this table sysmon actually causes additional events to be generated (although I think it is hooking high level APIs, so I think a technique like SysWhispers might cause some of these events to be invisible through Sysmon) so that could be useful even if we're not focused on the GUI. Writing my own ETW consumer / providers is a little advanced for me right now, so that's cool.

Can't do exploitation research on a novel unhooking approach without a database of the DLLs for every Windows version. Ideas?

Obfuscating powershell beacons
If you wanna stay with unmanaged code look into https://github.com/jthuraisamy/SysWhispers2 I'm a noob with native languages so can't say how effective it is. It also has a downside including ASM references to the binary that are unusual and might be detected, not sure on this tho.
