About this tag
The bind links tag covers Windows security research on how bind links can redirect file, process, or directory access while leaving expected paths and on-disk files appearing unchanged. Tagged discussions focus on Bitdefender’s findings that attackers with local administrator access may use file-binding, process-binding, and silo-binding techniques to make endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools inspect one file while Windows executes another. Examples include replacing a library used by PowerShell and other AMSI-enabled components, potentially blinding security monitoring before ransomware deployment or credential theft. This archive is useful for tracking the security implications of bind links and trust decisions based on reported paths.
