Amaterasu

Description

Amaterasu terminates, or inhibits, protected processes such as application control and AV/EDR solutions by leveraging the Sysinternals Process Explorer driver to kill a process's handles from kernel mode. For protected processes which attempt to restore its handles or restarts itself, supply a process name (partial match) and Amaterasu will continuously kill any handles that are associated with that name until you tell it to stop [ESC]. Otherwise, supply the process ID and Amaterasu will stop after the process is terminated.

While Amaterasu isn't inherently malicious you should be mindful with its use. I am not liable for damages or loss of data resulting from this resource.
