SAINTCON 2025 · Day 3 · Main Track 3
Landon Rice's talk, "A Brief(ish) Introduction to Linux Evasion Techniques," delivers a highly technical exploration into the specialized world of Linux malware and the sophisticated methods attackers employ to circumvent detection. Unlike the vast landscape of Windows malware, Linux threats are often fewer, highly targeted, and bespoke, demanding a deep understanding of the operating system's unique architecture. Rice, a young but experienced threat researcher, guides the audience through foundational Linux concepts, common EDR monitoring mechanisms, and then unveils novel evasion techniques he has developed.
