RESEARCH / CTF ONLY - NOT PRODUCTION CRYPTO

This project is a research and CTF (Capture The Flag) harness for studying Dead-End Encryption (DEE) and StegoPQ handshake patterns. It is NOT intended for production use.

Supported scope:

  • SAFE and NAIVE mode lab demonstrations
  • Attack harness and demo commands
  • Deterministic vector generation for testing

Out of scope:

  • Production cryptographic implementations
  • Secure key management
  • Compliance with FIPS or other certification requirements

Reporting Vulnerabilities

If you discover a vulnerability in this research harness:

  1. Preferred: Use Private vulnerability reporting on GitHub for sensitive disclosures.
  2. For research/CTF issues: Open a GitHub Issue in this repository.
  3. Alternative: Email codethor@gmail.com if the finding could affect other research tooling or documentation.

We do not offer bug bounties. This is a learning and research project.
