For penetration testing on Wintel system, I often use netcat.exe and stuff like pwdump. More and more I need to disable anti-virus services before running the tools to avoid alarms and auto-deletion of the applications. It works but it isn't an ideal situation since theoretically a network can be infected while the AV-services are down. Recompiling tools is an option since the source of many tools I use is available. The question is (before I burn useless CPU cycles): can someone help me getting info about the inside of AV engines? Will addition of some rubbish to the code do the trick (-> other checksum), do I need to change some core code or is it a mission impossible anyway? Who can help for example getting some useful research papers on the subject of detecting viruses and how to bypass mechanisms used? Any help will be appreciated.
