[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1058460, member: 32260"] No. The attacks with signed EXE + DLL can bypass SAC. But, many such attacks can be prevented by SAC before DLL hijacking could happen. Usually, the attacker will choose the attack via MOTW bypass (a file downloaded from the Internet is run without MOTW) + shortcut (or script). Partially, when the script was downloaded from the Internet and executed by the user. For example, scripts run by exploits, from flash drives, and via lateral movement can "bypass" SAC. SAC can also be "bypassed" when using 3rd party software for opening disk images or archives, because they usually allow MOTW bypass. Some 3rd party applications (7-Zip, Bandizip, Explz) can be configured to prevent MOTW bypass. Post edited. [/QUOTE]
