[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1082617, member: 99014"] They will need to use kernel-mode privileges (rootkits) in addition to the admin rights if they are hoping not to trigger any detections upon re-enabling security systems. Otherwise if they intend on keeping them disabled and don’t have means to gain kernel mode privileges, it is very smart to start with the disabling procedure and then move on to everything else. How they will smuggle that is another question, smartest thing to do would be to use a password-protected archive (to evade email security) and then a very large file, possible signed… it can quickly disable defences and upon reboot, initiate payloads download. Although reboot in some environments is not frequent or not performed at all. [/QUOTE]
