As a POC, since you've stated that your tool can be shown how
ineffective certain tools are, it's being detected because of the way it
works and signature in how it work - like malware.
If you have a POC that works, then you already know that it mimics
malware and should be detected just like Malware.
Now, since your POC have flaws, since they don't actually work on a
properly configured system, what can you complain about?
There is no conspiracy, just proper detection being one - if you're
going to pretend to be malware then accept that you will be detected as
malware.
