This thesis focuses on antivirus evasion techniques. It examines how an antivirus engine operates and studies various evasion methods for each antivirus operation. Subsequently, it investigates the level of difficulty in bypassing an antivirus by manual modification of malware code to escape detection. Finally, several open-sourced antivirus evasion tools are compared against the top award-winning antivirus products to evaluate their effectiveness.
