We review a trick that the Magnitude exploit kit uses to bypass security scanners. We take a look at yet another technique which has been used by Magnitude EK where the payload is largely inflated before it is run. This piece of code adds junk to the existing Cerber binary on-the-fly, to grow its initial size from say, 245 KB* to anywhere between 70 to 100 MB*. This is not a bug, but rather, as they say, a feature which allows to. bypass security products that have a hard limit on file sizes they can scan.”]
