whetstones-lab
Whetstones Lab: measuring coevolution between adaptive malware and behavioral defense. De-weaponized research release — genomes, evolution rounds, telemetry, training harness (stubbed primitives), and lab range tooling. Payloads, real primitives, and C2 infrastructure intentionally withheld. Research and defensive use only.

Could you build this?
No Designing an evolutionary co-simulation environment for mutating malware behaviors versus defensive detection models requires elite malware analysis, machine learning research, and kernel-level telemetry.
What it would actually take: Requires an isolated cyber range infrastructure running on customized hypervisors (e.g., modified QEMU/KVM with VM introspection) capable of capturing kernel-level Windows event telemetry (ETW, minifilters). The system pairs genetic algorithms or reinforcement learning models to evolve binary obfuscation/API call patterns against behavioral EDR models, necessitating specialized offensive security research and ML engineering.
