Assumptions

  • Tester has achieved elevated access to the system such that they can rename the EDR service’s executable and that they can restart the EDR service.
  • Tester has enumerated the EDR service and its supporting executables.

Procedure

  1. Enter the directory where the service’s excutable is installed.
cd <target_directory>
  1. Rename the executable.
move <old>.exe <new>.exe
  1. Restart the service. There are various methods to achieve this:

sc.exe stop <service>
sc.exe start <service>

Restart the Host

Safely restarting the host forces the service to be restarted.
