## What it is
Mortar Loader is a red team evasion tool that encrypts PE binaries and shellcode and executes them in memory using various injection techniques to bypass AV/EDR/XDR products. It includes an encryptor utility and a loader library written in Free Pascal, supporting fileless execution, APC injection, and process masquerading.

## Use cases
- bypass antivirus detection for red team payloads
- encrypt and load shellcode in memory
- evade EDR with process injection
- execute fileless payloads from remote staged binaries
- test security product detection capabilities
- inject encrypted PE into remote process via DLL

## When to choose
- you need an offensive security loader for authorized red team engagements
- you want to test AV/EDR detection against memory-based payload execution
- you need shellcode or PE encryption with multiple injection techniques

## When to avoid
- you need a defensive security tool or malware scanner
- you require a supported, production-grade deployment tool
- your use case is not authorized offensive security testing
