SGN is a polymorphic binary encoder that encodes shellcode using an additive feedback loop similar to an LFSR, producing statically undetectable payloads. It is a Rust reimplementation of the Metasploit Shikata ga nai encoder with improvements such as x64 support and a smaller, pseudo-randomly encoded decoder stub.

Use cases

• encode shellcode to evade static antivirus detection
• generate undetectable binary payloads for penetration testing
• polymorphically encode x86 and x64 shellcode
• replace shikata ga nai encoder with a modern implementation
• obfuscate payload bytes so they look like random data

When to choose

• you need statically undetectable encoded shellcode for authorized offensive security work
• you want x64 shellcode encoding support
• you need a dependency-free Rust tool that builds with plain cargo

When to avoid

• you need a defensive or malware-analysis tool rather than an offensive encoder
• your use of encoded payloads is not authorized or legal in your environment
• you need a pure obfuscator for general application code rather than shellcode
