avcleaner is a C/C++ source-to-source obfuscator built on LLVM, designed to evade antivirus detection by transforming source code (e.g., hiding strings and API calls). It is a compiler-frontend-based CLI tool primarily aimed at red team and security research use cases.

Use cases

• obfuscate C/C++ source code to bypass antivirus detection
• hide strings in malware-like tooling during red team engagements
• evade static signature-based scanning of security tooling
• learn LLVM-based source transformation techniques
• transform Windows C/C++ projects that use the WinSDK

When to choose

• you are a red teamer or security researcher needing to evade AV static analysis of your C/C++ tooling
• you want an LLVM-based source obfuscator you can extend or study
• you need to obfuscate strings and sensitive constructs at the source level before compilation

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose code obfuscator for protecting commercial software IP
• you require support for languages other than C/C++
• you need a maintained tool with frequent updates and broad platform support
• obfuscating code would violate laws or organizational policies in your context
