Demonstrates Living-off-the-Land (LotL) techniques using native OS tools to simulate realistic threat actor behavior during authorized penetration tests. Use when proving attack feasibility without custom malware, testing detection coverage, and validating what a real adversary could achieve with only built-in system capabilities.
