Veil, also known as the Veil Evasion Framework, is an openly available offensive-security framework for generating executables designed to evade antivirus detection. It can package Cobalt Strike payloads into evasive executables and is used in both authorized penetration testing and malicious operations. Its primary function is payload generation and detection evasion; the capabilities of the resulting executable depend on the embedded payload.
Cybercrime actors have used Veil-generated payloads as first-stage components of infection chains. Go-compiled Veil samples have also appeared prominently in malware collections, reflecting its use of Go for generated payloads. Windows payloads are documented. Veil's antivirus-evasion functionality does not guarantee that generated executables will bypass security products.
