# Fileless Malware and Living-off-the-Land Binaries (LOLBins)

Attackers and bypassers frequently leverage various scripting languages available on Windows systems instead of traditional compiled executables (`.exe`). This "Living-off-the-Land" approach uses legitimate interpreters already present on the system to execute malicious or bypass-related code, making detection harder for security solutions focused solely on unknown executables. Common scripting languages abused include **PowerShell (`.ps1`)**, **Batch (`.bat`)**, **VBScript (`.vbs`)**, and less commonly but possibly **Python (`.py`)**, **AutoIt (`.au3`)**, or even **HTML Applications (`.hta`)**.
