## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 10/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3421, "days_push": 2000, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, archived
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A collection of proof-of-concept exploit code produced during security research by the Google Security Team. It serves as a reference repository demonstrating discovered vulnerabilities rather than a usable tool.

## Use cases
- study real-world proof-of-concept exploits
- reproduce reported vulnerabilities for testing
- learn security research techniques
- verify patches against known PoCs
- reference PoC code when writing security tooling

## When to choose
- you need reference PoC code for vulnerabilities researched by Google
- you are studying exploit development or vulnerability analysis
- you want to validate fixes against published PoCs

## When to avoid
- you need a production security scanning tool
- you expect maintained, documented software with releases
- you need PoCs for vulnerabilities not covered by Google's research

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, vulnerability-scanning, reverse-engineering
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: proof-of-concept, exploits, vulnerability-research, google, linux, macos
