'Detects and analyzes fileless malware that operates entirely in memory.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Detecting Fileless Malware Techniques ## When to Use - EDR alerts indicate suspicious behavior from trusted system binaries (PowerShell, mshta, wmic, regsvr32) - Investigating attacks that leave no traditional malware files on disk - Analyzing WMI event subscriptions, registry-stored payloads, or scheduled task abuse for persistence - Building detection rules for LOLBin (Living Off the Land Binary) abuse in enterprise environments - Memory forensics reveals malicious code but no corresponding files exist on the filesystem **Do not use** for traditional file-based malware; standard static and dynamic analysis methods are more appropriate for disk-resident malware. ## Prerequisites - Sysmon installed and configured with comprehensive logging (process creation, WMI events, registry changes) - PowerShell Script Block Logging and Module Logging enabled - Volatility 3 for memory forensics of fileless malware artifacts - Process Monitor (ProcMon) for real-time system activity monitoring - Windows Event Log access with adequate retention policies - Autoruns for identifying persistence mechanisms ## Workflow ### Step 1: Identify LOLBin Usage …

How to install
mdr add adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai/detecting-fileless-malware-techniques@sha256:f249c68737cf89f6The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
