# Evasion Techniques ### Windows Applocker AppLocker is an application whitelisting technology introduced with Windows 7. It allows restricting which programs users can execute based on the programs path, publisher and hash. *** #### Bypassing by Placing Executeable in Whitelisted Directory If AppLocker is configured with default AppLocker rules, we can bypass it by placing our executable in the following directory: `C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color` - This is whitelisted by default. Use Powershell to download an executable of your choice locally, place it the whitelisted directory and execute it. *** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
