My thoughts are yes, red teaming has got significantly harder over the last few years. The knock on effect is: 1) engagements need more time, 2) teams who don't invest heavily in R&D (either in-house or outsourced) will be left behind, 3) there's less things shared publicly as a consequence, 4) lots of teams have tried to compensate by assuming breach, which as a result has led to less innovation in the IA space However, I disagree that IA is anywhere near dead even targeting the top 1%. The vast majority of our engagements have a large IA component and we're still successful in >75% of cases. Yes the points mentioned are a pita - AWL is a great control, but there's equally a plethora of file formats that support scripting; get creative - Yes MOTW restricts some things - but there's a variety of ways around it if you're creative (and I'm not talking about ISOs 🙄)

One of the new features we built for #Nighthawk customers is HawkEye. This is an AI bot built on Opus 4.5 that uses RAG to ingest all the #Nighthawk documentation, sample profiles, APIs, and sample source code. It's able to help explain features, build profiles, write source code for modules and much much more...

Want to consume Microsoft-Windows-Threat-Intelligence but Antimalware-PPL getting you down? No problem! I will post a blog & POC soon - but this allows you to consume Threat-Intelligence without PPL _and_ w/o any kernel patching/driver loading gymnastics! Only need admin!

Whether you're learning x86 instruction encoding or writing YARA rules, ZydisInfo is an amazing (yet slightly underrated) tool for the job.
