## What it is
Invoke-Obfuscation is a PowerShell command and script obfuscation framework compatible with PowerShell 2.0+. It generates obfuscated variants of PowerShell commands and scripts to help defenders test their detection capabilities.

## Use cases
- obfuscate a powershell script to evade detection
- test blue team detection of obfuscated powershell commands
- generate encoded command variants for powershell
- simulate attacker obfuscation techniques in a lab
- study powershell token-level obfuscation techniques
- validate logging coverage for scriptblock and module logging

## When to choose
- you are a defender or red teamer testing PowerShell obfuscation detection
- you need a wide catalog of syntactically valid PowerShell obfuscation techniques
- you want an interactive menu-driven obfuscation workflow

## When to avoid
- you need obfuscation for languages other than PowerShell
- you want a maintained tool with active development
- you need stealth against modern AMSI and enhanced logging without additional work

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing
- platform: windows, cli
- tags: powershell, obfuscation, red-team, blue-team, detection-testing, command-line
