MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

3 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.

Impact

2 techniques

T1490Inhibit System RecoveryEvidence1

Policy-based QoS (Quality of Service) allows you to set an absolute outbound bandwidth limit (throttling rate) for specific applications, ports, or protocols in Windows... EDRChoker... creates QoS policies that limit those processes to 8 bits per second.

T1498Network Denial of ServiceEvidence2

EDRChoker uses Policy-based Quality of Service (QoS) to set hard bandwidth caps (throttling) on Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, causing them to always time out - effectively blocking them.
