Claims a real bug in Cisco's EDR and shows a working bypass: an obfuscated PowerShell reverse shell hosted via a simple HTTP server, fetched with Invoke-WebRequest and executed with Invoke-Expression to download-and-execute-in-memory. Uses living‑off‑the‑land tooling and a netcat listener; outbound connection appears in the cloud dashboard but the EDR has no runtime visibility so the session succeeds and leaves no disk artifacts. Proof of concept completes in weeks.
