Not a question related to this sample, quite often with samples posted here and other sources I follow I've noticed Kaspersky is normally quite quick at detecting it other thing I've noticed Bitdefender seem to be a bit slow at adding new detections compared to the past.

Kaspersky gets it with its behavioral detection, which then feeds into KSN as UDS:______. Bitdefender misses it without signatures.

Aside from behavioral detection, Kaspersky is pretty much at the top in writing defnitions against malware. They to this both re-actively (once a malicious file is in the Wild) as well as proactively with a division dedicated to discovering and monitoring DarkWeb groups that are writing new malware.

Their behavioral detection also tops all other home AV's and some business products. It only looses out when you compare it to other products like Checkpoint Harmony, or other EDRs, which probably use part of Kaspersky such as threat intelligence or their engine to increase effectiveness, and things topping Kaspersky are VERY FEW.

I quickly deployed a KTS on my VM (sorry, it's not in English, but in my native language)

Kaspersky blocked it on launch - dodgy KSN.

Look above, Kaspersky detects it well.
Kaspersky is too good. Another fake game stealer using the same method(app.asar). Downloaded from itch.io, it's actually on the "New & Popular" page. On VT, Kaspersky caught it again :D

Medieval Cracked.exe was detected by ESET and Bitdefender TS.
ESET had two detection via Command Line Scanner, one via AMSI.
Bitdefender Total Security blocked via its Command Line Scanner. FYI, BD Free doesn't have Command Line Scanner. So I can't tell if BD Free can detected it.

I hid the malicious code in the screenshots on purpose.

ESET missed, Snake_v1.exe.

Snake_v1.exe was caught by Bitdefender's Behavior Blocker and a malicious C2 was also blocked prior to that.

Microsoft Defender missed both Medieval Cracked.exe & Snake_v1.exe. Medieval Cracked.exe turned off MD's Cloud Protection, Auto sample submission and also added several file formats to its exclusions. So the malware could do anything it wanted.
md1.pngmd2.png
Later, I manually turned all protection on and removed the exclusions. Then when I clicked on a malicious file running on memory, MD woke up and detected a Backdoor and removed files related to it like scheduled tasks. But this detection doesn't matter. So failure for MD.

TBMSetup (1).exe was missed by all of MD, ESET and BD. I can't tell if it was able to steal data.
