Unconventional Shellcode Delivery (Evasion Achieved) — Unsure Where to Go From Here

Hey all, I’m looking for advice, if this is the wrong sub please let me know. I’m a developer and independent security researcher, and I recently created a new obfuscation method:

  • An unconventional payload delivery mechanism
  • A machine learning-based decoder
  • Verified evasion of modern static and behavioral defenses (including Windows Defender on 11 24H2)

This technique opens up interesting possibilities for covert channels, adversarial ML, and next-gen red team tooling. It’s 100% undetectable, and even when inspecting the binary it appears completely benign. I’m currently waiting to hear back from a conference about presenting this research.

I’m currently exploring:

  • Potential sale/licensing to trusted orgs or brokers
  • Research/collaboration with companies working in offensive AI or threat emulation
  • Employment opportunities in exploit dev, AI red teaming, or detection evasion R&D

Any advice on how to navigate this I’d greatly appreciate it, would love a job in research, and doing a writeup on this.
