Bypassing Windows Defender (10 Ways)
Moreover, a PE Crypter works by encrypting the executable's contents and generating an executable that will decrypt the original PE at runtime. This is very useful against AVs as most of them rely on static analysis instead of runtime behaviour (like EDRs). So completely hiding the content of an executable until runtime may be very effective, unless the AV has generated signatures against the Encrypting/Decrypting methods, which is the case from what I tried with nimpcrypt.
