## What it is
Veil-Evasion is a Python tool that generates Metasploit payloads designed to bypass common antivirus solutions, optionally compiling them into Windows executables via PyInstaller or Py2Exe. It is deprecated and no longer supported; users should use Veil 3.0 instead.

## Use cases
- generate metasploit payloads that evade antivirus detection
- compile payloads into windows executables for penetration testing
- test antivirus detection of custom payloads
- red team payload generation for authorized security assessments

## When to choose
- you are doing authorized penetration testing and specifically need the legacy Veil-Evasion workflow
- you are studying historical antivirus evasion techniques on an isolated lab system

## When to avoid
- you want a maintained tool - use Veil 3.x instead
- you need modern Python 3 support or current evasion techniques
- you lack authorization for offensive security testing

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: security, penetration-testing, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: cli, python
- tags: antivirus-evasion, metasploit-payloads, red-team, offensive-security, deprecated, python2, linux
