The maximum file size that windows defender can scan is 2G, so I ran this command on a Linux machine to increase the file's size. Then I copied it over to my windows machine.

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1G seek=3 count=0 of=malware.exe

I tried then running it on my windows machine, but windows defender still interrupted its execution. I think the problem could be because the "blank" bytes were added to the end of the file, so windows defender noticed what was going on. Is there a way to increase the file size and have the file still go undetected?

If I am not being clear, and did something wrong, please be kind. :)
