## What it is
BOAZ is a multilayered AV/EDR evasion framework written in C++/C with Python linking, designed to generate polymorphic payloads that bypass signature, heuristic, and behavioral detection. It also functions as a PE packer/obfuscator and is intended for educational and red-team research purposes.

## Use cases
- generate payloads that bypass antivirus and EDR detection
- test desktop AV and EDR products against evasion techniques
- obfuscate or pack Windows PE binaries
- study layered evasion and defense-in-depth techniques
- integrate custom evasion modules into a modular framework
- perform process injection and ETW bypass research

## When to choose
- you are a security researcher or student evaluating AV/EDR detection capabilities
- you need a modular, extensible evasion framework with granular control over techniques
- you want a packer/obfuscator for x64 PE or raw shellcode payloads

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with regular support
- you are not working on Windows targets
- you require a tool for defensive or compliance purposes rather than offensive testing

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, cryptography, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing, reverse-engineering, windows
