The stager is a software component installed on a target machine that can download additional software, referred to as the second stage, from a supporting website. This second stage may perform various functions, such as activating a backdoor, a keylogger, or other simple activities. In this section, we present several stagers that, as of December 2024, can be used on Windows to download simple backdoors (for example, those obtained from https://www.revshells.com/) without triggering Windows Defender. We propose one stager in PowerShell for use on Windows and another stager in VBS to be used as a macro in Office documents. These stagers should only be used for testing on machines where explicit consent has been obtained to execute both the stager and the second stage.
