Challenge 03: Copy and Rename

Easy Process Name Evasion Target: Rule 1

Objective

Execute a blacklisted tool by copying it to a completely different name.

Scanner Behavior

The EDR only checks the process executable name reported by CreateToolhelp32Snapshot. It does not verify file hashes, digital signatures, or file contents.

Rules

  • Copy any blacklisted tool to a new, non-blacklisted name
  • Execute the copy successfully without detection
  • The copy must be functionally identical to the original

Hints

Hint 1 Windows runs executables by their filename, not by their content.
Hint 2 copy notepad.exe editor.exe && editor.exe - is editor.exe in the blacklist?
Hint 3 The EDR has no hash database (Rule 6 is empty). It cannot identify a binary by its content.
