Donut is an open source framework used to generate position-independent shellcode. Donut generated code has been used by multiple threat actors to inject and load malicious payloads into memory.

Tool identity and evidence

Included because the active pinned ATT&CK object has type tool. This is an upstream classification, not an assurance of benignness or a recommendation to run it.

Technique-specific simulations and detections

Detection links describe the associated behavior, not independently verified tool-specific signatures.

Telemetry context

Derived from the explicitly linked TTPs; not proof of sensor coverage for this tool.
