The Fake-SystemUpdate-Malware-Simulator is a malware simulation tool designed to illustrate common stealth techniques employed by real-world malware, masquerading as a Windows system update executable. It features keylogging, periodic screenshot capture, and IP-based geolocation tracking, all while maintaining persistence by utilizing Windows Startup locations and registry keys. This project serves purely for educational purposes and to enhance cybersecurity awareness, demonstrating how such malicious software can evade detection.
