bind link

The bind link tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about a Windows 11 feature that allows filesystem redirection via the Bind Link API and bindflt.sys driver. Recent threads focus on proof-of-concept tools like EDRStartupHinder and EDR-Redir V2 that abuse bind links to evade security products, including Windows Defender. These tools create bind links to redirect critical system or EDR folders to attacker-controlled locations, enabling DLL hijacking and preventing security agents from initializing. The content highlights how bind links can be exploited for local privilege escalation and defense evasion, making this a key topic for security researchers and IT administrators concerned with Windows 11 hardening and detection of advanced threats.
