## What it is
A proof-of-concept C++ implementation of thread call stack spoofing, an in-memory evasion technique that hides shellcode references from a thread's call stack. It is aimed at red teamers and security researchers demonstrating how to evade memory scanners, AVs, and EDRs.

## Use cases
- hide shellcode memory allocations from EDR scanners
- spoof thread call stack during red team operations
- bypass thread-based memory examination rules
- study in-memory evasion techniques
- build offensive security tooling with call stack spoofing

## When to choose
- you need a reference implementation of thread stack spoofing for Windows x64/x86
- you are researching EDR evasion or malware analysis techniques
- you want to improve call stack stealth in red team tooling

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, supported security product
- you are looking for defensive detection tooling rather than offensive evasion
- you target non-Windows platforms

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, reverse-engineering
- domain: security, penetration-testing, windows
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: red-team, evasion, shellcode, call-stack-spoofing, edr-bypass, poc, malware-research
