EdrTruth

A continuous blue-team validation platform that replays curated offensive technique libraries (io_uring, eBPF, audit-kill, BPF-LSM detach, kprobe unhooking) against a customer's own environment to verify their EDR actually detects modern evasion.

Target user

SOC analysts, detection engineers, and security leads at mid-market and enterprise companies who need empirical evidence their EDR stack catches modern evasion

Features
  • scheduled red-team emulation library mapped to MITRE ATT&CK technique IDs
  • evasion-technique regression suite run inside the customer's own environment to test real EDR coverage
  • dashboard showing detection coverage over time with regression alerts when a rule stops firing
  • exportable evidence pack for compliance audits and board-level reporting
Why now

Open-source offensive tooling like Furtex is publicly documenting io_uring and eBPF bypasses that sidestep traditional syscall-table EDR hooks. Most blue teams have no empirical way to confirm whether their stack actually sees these — they find out the hard way.

Demand
5/10

Established BAS/EDR-validation category exists (AttackIQ, Cymulate, SCYTHE, Picus) with explicit demand for 'continuous EDR effectiveness verification,' but the specific Linux-modern-evasion niche is nascent and the cited HN trend had only 4 points.Which breach and attack simulation vendors are considered the gold standard for validating EDR effectiveness?AttackIQ Enterprise

Whitespace
4/10

BAS/continuous validation market is crowded with well-funded incumbents (AttackIQ 3,000+ scenarios, Cymulate, SCYTHE, SafeBreach, Picus, Pentera, Adaptive Security); Linux-specific io_uring/eBPF evasion is a narrow emerging angle rather than open territory.Buyer's guide: Breach and attack simulation (BAS) toolsTop 5 Breach and Attack Simulation Tools Compared

Monetization
6/10

Buyers pay six-figure annual sums for BAS (AttackIQ positioned as premium, Cymulate as cost-efficient per PeerSpot), proving willingness to pay — but a Linux-niche entrant typically gets squeezed on price and must justify itself against incumbents bundling similar content.AttackIQ vs Cymulate (2026) - PeerSpotAWS Marketplace: AttackIQ

Longevity
7/10

Attack/defense cat-and-mouse is permanent and Linux server/workload detection is growing with cloud adoption, but EDR vendors (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Elastic) are themselves adding coverage for io_uring/eBPF abuse, which steadily erodes the value of a third-party validator for these specific techniques.New Linux Rootkits Leverage Advanced eBPF and io_uring TechniquesFurtex Emerges as a Powerful Linux Post-Exploitation Toolkit

Feasibility
3/10

Replay of rootkit/evasion techniques (BPF-LSM detach, kprobe unhooking, audit-kill) against customer prod environments is intrinsically dangerous, requires deep kernel expertise and tight safety rails, and creates a heavy per-customer support/onboarding burden.Furtex - Linux Toolkit for Post-Exploitation and EvasionInside Furtex: A Linux Toolkit Built to Stay Close to the Kernel
