Elastic Security Labs reports on the misuse of SHELLTER, a commercial evasion framework, by threat groups for infostealer campaigns since April 2025. The framework's advanced capabilities allow malicious actors to evade detection by anti-malware solutions, prompting the release of a dynamic unpacker by Elastic Security Labs to analyze SHELLTER-protected binaries. Key features include polymorphic obfuscation, payload encryption, and mechanisms to bypass detection systems.
