How to Spot 'Living Off the Land' Computer Attacks
Living‑off‑the‑land (LOTL) attacks exploit built‑in system utilities such as PowerShell, WMI, and trusted applications instead of dropping traditional malware.

Detection now focuses on anomalous tool behavior and unusual network connections rather than known malicious files.
