Offensive Endpoint Evasion Assessment
Measure the true effectiveness of your EDR platform against modern evasion techniques.
Overview
Modern Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools play a critical role in preventing, detecting, and responding to attacks—but are they working as intended in your environment?
The Offensive Endpoint Evasion Assessment is a live, host-based security engagement that evaluates the effectiveness of your current EDR solution against advanced evasion techniques used by real adversaries. Delivered by White Knight Labs’ R&D-driven red team, this assessment is designed for organizations looking to validate, customize, or compare EDR products under realistic attack conditions.
Whether you’re assessing a new vendor, customizing detections, or seeking assurance that your platform is truly defending endpoints, this assessment delivers answers rooted in real-world offensive capability.

Purpose of the Engagement
This assessment answers a critical question:
Can your EDR solution detect and block real-world threats deployed by skilled adversaries?
White Knight Labs will emulate a stealth adversary, executing payloads from a client-provided workstation while avoiding detection. Using tailored payloads, evasive tooling, and endpoint-focused techniques, our team will attempt to establish command-and-control (C2) access and operate below the detection threshold of your EDR platform.
This simulation mimics the early stages of targeted attacks and advanced persistent threat (APT) tradecraft—giving you a realistic view of your detection surface from the endpoint up.
Engagement Objectives
Typical assessment objectives include:
- Testing the ability of your EDR to detect evasive command-and-control payloads
- Evaluating response behavior during post-exploitation activity (e.g., credential access, lateral movement staging)
- Determining the impact of default vs. customized EDR configurations
- Comparing multiple EDR products in side-by-side environments
- Identifying host-level detection gaps across userland and kernel space
- Providing practical, prioritized recommendations for enhancing endpoint defense
- All activity is performed in a controlled, authorized, and isolated manner using equipment and accounts designated by the client.
How It Works
White Knight Labs receives access to a workstation or virtual machine with the client’s EDR product installed. This machine represents a typical endpoint in your environment.
Once initial access is achieved (or blocked), our team performs additional actions to evaluate visibility and detection. This includes execution of common attacker TTPs, memory injection, process masquerading, and more.
Our team executes a custom payload—specifically crafted to evade your EDR solution—and attempts to establish a stealth command-and-control channel.
Each test phase is thoroughly documented. You’ll receive insight into what was detected, what wasn’t, and what that means for your endpoint security program.
What’s Assessed
- Endpoint visibility and telemetry coverage
- Process injection and memory-based attack detection
- Fileless and in-memory payload handling
- Script interpreter (PowerShell, Python, C#) behavior
- C2 beaconing and persistence techniques
- Response time and alert fidelity
- Detection coverage comparison against industry baselines, including Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (ATP)
What You Get
Upon completion, you will receive:
- A technical report detailing all payloads, evasion techniques, and outcomes
- Executive summary suitable for leadership and procurement stakeholders
- Detection matrix showing what was observed and what was missed
- Recommendations for hardening host-level defenses and tuning EDR policy
- Optional side-by-side comparison results if testing multiple EDR products
- A post-engagement debrief with your defensive security team
Who This Is For
- Organizations evaluating new EDR platforms
- Security teams tuning or customizing EDR policies and detection rules
- Companies preparing for red team exercises or adversary simulation
- Teams who want real-world evidence of whether their host defenses are effective
- SOC teams seeking data to improve response fidelity and reduce false negatives
