Abuse of alternative runtime environments Deno-tes defender headaches
Summary
Attackers are leveraging alternative runtime environments like Deno to conduct fileless executions and utilize a wide array of legitimate binaries (LOLBins) to evade detection. This approach presents significant challenges for security defenders.

FOE
The article describes new attack techniques that make it harder for defenders to detect malicious activity, thus posing a threat to security.
Defender Context
Defenders need to be aware of evolving attack methodologies that utilize less common runtime environments and legitimate system tools for malicious purposes. Monitoring for unusual process behaviors and command-line arguments, even those that appear to use trusted binaries, is crucial.
