Misbehaving Modalities: Detecting Tools, Not Techniques

This article examines execution modality as a detection approach that focuses on identifying the tools and methods used to run code rather than the behavioral patterns of attacks. The piece explains how detections centered on modality can work alongside traditional behavior-based detection strategies to improve threat identification.

Why it matters: Security teams building detection rules can improve coverage by implementing modality-focused detections that catch tool-specific indicators, complementing existing behavior-based detection systems.
