Safely Storing Exploits
In my attempts to store an exploit on my pc (perl script), Norton kept deleting it. After some trial and error – I found a way to do it:
- Disable AutoProtect
- Save file to PC
- Add to zip file using WinZip
- Encrypt newly created zip file with 256bit AES
- Delete plaintext exploit file
- Enable AutoProtect
When Norton scans, it will not see this file as an exploit and delete automatically because it cannot crack the encryption, or doesn’t realize it’s a bad file. You now have a restorable copy of the exploit, without the ability for it to harm your PC (unless you take action to do such).
Happy hacking.
