“ShadowFlee” is fileless malware using PowerShell and legitimate tools.

CEH v13 classifies this malware as fileless malware, which resides in memory and abuses legitimate system tools (Living-off-the-Land techniques). Traditional antivirus solutions are often ineffective.

CEH v13 recommends:

Script control (PowerShell Constrained Language Mode)

Application whitelisting

Monitoring parent-child process relationships

These measures directly target the malware’s execution method. Reboots and folder cleanup do not address in-memory persistence.
