Bulwark is a new tool being marketed on the dark web as being capable of bypassing modern antivirus and EDR solutions, which constitute one of the main lines of defense for most organizations.
In a new in-depth whitepaper, SOCRadar researchers have dived into this tool, including how it came to be, what its capabilities are — such as advanced obfuscation, real-time evasion — and more.
Bulwark began appearing in Telegram channels in July, showcasing its capabilities and promising an effective bypass for any EDR or antivirus solution. During continuous hunting activities, SOCRadar’s research team detected an announcement referencing a platform called Database.forum, where this tool was listed. At the time, that database was not indexed by mainstream search engines and formed part of the Deep Web, and has recently been added to the Dark Web as well; over the following days, its popularity grew, and it later became discoverable via traditional search engines.
To understand how Bulwark came to be, it is necessary to go through Database.forum which is a portal run by affiliates and developers where various tools of different kinds are advertised and indexed. Many of these tools are related to threat actors or capabilities that can be used by them.
