I’m sure it’s closed source for the eventual plans to monetize it, but what’s the real difference to something like https://github.com/NavyTitanium/Fake-Sandbox-Artifacts and why can’t you at least name yourselves?

Not many software promises to fend off attackers, asks for an email address before download, and creates a bunch of processes using a closed source dll the existence of which can easily be checked.

Then again, not many malware targeting consumers at random check for security software. You are more likely to see a malware stop working if you fake the amount of ram and cpu and your network driver vendor than if you have CrowdStrike, etc. running.

I am pretty sure this is just malware being upvoted with sockpuppet accounts, I'm surprised it hasn't been flagged.
Are you talking about this GitHub script or the Scarecrow app?
The closed source one that asks for your email and has very little information about its developers.
