Deception
About Landmine Agent and Agentless
A landmine is an endpoint component that deploys decoy credentials, files, browser cookies, processes, etc. on real endpoints in your network. You can download a landmine either as an agent installer or agentless installer from the Zscaler Deception Admin Portal.
Landmine provides the following benefits and enables you to:
- Deploy full-featured active deception via a persistent agent (in agent mode) running on endpoints in your network.
- Deploy decoys with a limited set of deception lures via a permanent service (in agentless mode) running on endpoints.
Zscaler ITDR components such as CredentialExposure.Console.exe, CredEx.exe, or CredExInstaller.exe are also installed on endpoints as part of Zscaler Client Connector. The processes associated with these components are legitimate processes and will not activate (run) unless the respective functionality is enabled in ITDR.
