apt persistence

The apt persistence tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about advanced persistent threat (APT) groups maintaining long-term access to compromised networks. Content highlights techniques such as Windows service hijacking, use of malware families like BPFDoor and TinyShell, and command-and-control via cloud services like Google Drive. The tag emphasizes treating intrusions as unauthorized access platforms rather than isolated infections, shifting response strategies to focus on identifying and removing multiple persistence mechanisms left by attackers. Topics include edge infrastructure, telecom, and government targets, with practical advice for defenders on hunting and remediation.
