Forum Thread: How to Tell What Antivirus Victim Has Before Constructing Payload

Hi there, i've been lurking on Null Byte for quiet a while and this is my first question so any feedback on its structure would be great :)

I was wondering is there any way to tell what antivirus my victim has before i send the payload as each payload does not work with every antivirus. so would there be any way to find out before hand , through sniffing the network maybe?

Any advice would be great ,
thanks
