Challenge 2: MalwAIre

The goal of this contest is to use reinforcement learning and generative adversarial networks to modify existing malware to defeat virus detection agents. Teams will receive as input, decompiled code of known malware. A successful entry will use AI to modify this code so that it still functions as malware and can successfully avoid detection by antivirus scanners.
