We welcome suggestions for improving ADMmutate's capabilities!

Current State: Fixed weights in code
Opportunity: Many users never customize instruction weightings

Suggestion:

• Add programmatic API for setting weights
• Configuration file support
• Runtime weight adjustment

// Proposed API
int set_junk_weight(int arch, int instruction_index, int weight);
int load_weight_config(const char *config_file);

Current State: Manual offset calculation
Opportunity: Additional ESP/SP finding techniques

Suggestion:

• Add gadget-free SP discovery for code execution contexts
• FPU-based techniques
• Leverage common memory leaks

Research Areas:

• Modern ASLR bypass techniques
• Information leak exploitation
• Stack pivot gadgets

Current State: XOR-based encoding
Opportunity: Additional encoding algorithms

Suggestions:

• ADD/SUB encoding
• Rotation-based encoding
• Mixed cipher chains
• Architecture-specific encoding (e.g., AVX)

Testing Framework:

• Use llvm-mca for instruction timing analysis
• Use llvm-exegesis for performance profiling
• Build instruction databases for modern CPUs

Priority Targets:

• ARM/ARM64 (Thumb mode)
• AArch64
• RISC-V
• x86-64 specific optimizations

Suggestions:

• Anti-debugging techniques
• Anti-emulation checks
• Sandbox detection
• VM detection

Note: These should be optional and clearly documented for responsible use.

1. Check existing issues for similar suggestions
2. Open a GitHub Discussion to get feedback
3. Create a detailed proposal with:
   • Problem statement
   • Proposed solution
   • Use cases
   • Implementation sketch (if applicable)
4. Consider submitting a PR if you can implement it
