LitterBox is a controlled malware-analysis and payload-testing sandbox aimed at red teams who need to validate evasions and behaviors before deployment. It provides an isolated environment to exercise payloads against modern detection stacks, verify signatures and heuristics, and observe runtime characteristics without leaking binaries to third-party vendors. The README frames typical use cases: testing evasion, validating detections, analyzing behavior, and keeping sensitive tooling in-house. Repo metadata and author pages highlight an active security-tools ecosystem around the maintainer, with CI and pull-request activity suggesting ongoing development. The project positions itself as a safe proving ground to reduce surprises in the field while minimizing operational risk. For teams exploring MCP integrations, notes mention pairing with LLM agents for assisted analysis.
