      <description>The concept of a Bill Of Materials (BOM) is well-established in traditional manufacturing as part of supply chain management. A manufacturer uses a BOM to track the parts it uses to create a product. If defects are later found in a specific part, the BOM makes it easy to locate affected products. In software industry, this concept is fairly new and is used to keep track of all the ingredients of the software.</description>

      <title>File-less malwares: what and how</title>
      <link>https://ayedaemon.github.io/post/2022/02/fileless-malwares-how-and-why/</link>
      <pubDate>Sat, 26 Feb 2022 23:43:01 +0530</pubDate>
      <guid>https://ayedaemon.github.io/post/2022/02/fileless-malwares-how-and-why/</guid>
      <description>What are file-less malwares? How do they work on linux?
According to Wikipedia, file-less malware is a variant of computer related malicious software that exists exclusively as a computer memory-based artifact i.e. in RAM.
In other words, the malware/program is never written to harddisk but directly loaded in memory.
To get a better understanding of how that happens in linux, we need to understand how a normal program loads itself into memory and executes itself.</description>

I&amp;rsquo;m an Information Security Engineer from India who is interested in DevOps culture and non-Excel-based security practices. I spend most of the time working on SOAR automations and rest of the times I try to play with malwares.
