Description

This module allows you to generate a Windows EXE that evades against Microsoft
Windows Defender. Multiple techniques such as shellcode encryption, source code
obfuscation, Metasm, and anti-emulation are used to achieve this.

For best results, please try to use payloads that use a more secure channel
such as HTTPS or RC4 in order to avoid the payload network traffic getting
caught by antivirus better.
