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. build: zig build -doptimize=releaseFast -> embed dll bytes
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
- Copy
go-bridge/intoimplant/sliver/evasion/valak/ - 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() }() } - Replace
time.Sleep(d)withvalak.EvasionSleep(d)in Sliver's beacon loop - Build with:
go build -tags evasion
