A tool to generate realistic fake data for security testing–how effective is it?

Hey HN,<p>I’ve been working on Veilgen, a tool designed to generate fully synthetic, encrypted fake data for security testing and red teaming. Unlike real or scraped data, Veilgen creates randomized structured data, making it ideal for:<p>Testing AI-driven detection systems without exposing real data. Simulating SSRF&#x2F;RCE payloads with obfuscated and encrypted inputs. Eypassing security filters using structured yet unpredictable fake data. Running on Android&#x2F;Linux with optional root features for deeper security analysis.<p>Since modern security systems rely heavily on AI-based anomaly detection, traditional evasion techniques are becoming less effective. How do you approach generating fake data for testing? What’s the biggest challenge in bypassing detection systems?<p>Would love to hear your feedback

Interesting tool! Generating synthetic encrypted data is a smart approach to avoid exposing real data during security testing. For me, the biggest challenge with bypassing detection systems is making the fake data both realistic enough to evade detection while still being entirely synthetic. Ensuring that the data behaves like real-world data (in terms of structure and randomness) without being too predictable is key. How does Veilgen manage the balance between randomness and structure to avoid triggering detection systems? Also, curious if you&#x27;ve considered integrating machine learning models to make the generated data evolve based on specific detection mechanisms over time?
