Hey HN, this is just a little script I created that converts a program into a binary format comprised of zero width characters. I'm not entirely certain that this should be considered an exploit in and of itself, more so a method of extreme obfuscation, so feel free to correct me if my terminology is wrong in the article. I had this idea about a year or so ago but was recently inspired to make it due to recent posts relating to unicode[1,2]. I'm interested in learning about how this might be applicable in a real world scenario, seeing as I'm not normally involved in security. I hope you all enjoy :)
