Each variant uses different vulnerable drivers to gain kernel-level privileges via the BYOVD ("bring your own vulnerable driver") technique, but shares common code obfuscation and process-killing logic. The framework is designed for easy driver swaps when new vulnerabilities are disclosed. - **Targeting Scope** — GentleKiller targets **400+ processes** from ~48 security vendors including Microsoft, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Palo Alto, Sophos, Trend Micro, ESET, Bitdefender, McAfee/Trellix, and Kaspersky. - **Protection Methods** — Binaries are packed with commercial tools (Enigma, Themida) and use stolen (but invalid) digital signatures from legitimate software. - **External Tools** — The group also incorporates at least three third-party EDR killers for redundancy: HexKiller (Warlock gang), ThrottleBlood (MesudaLocker/DragonForce), and HavocKiller. - **Credential Theft** — ESET also documented **OxideHarvest**, a Rust-based Ver mais
