NOT YOUR GRANDMA'S PASSWORD MANAGER For security conscious users who prioritize protection over convenience. Daemon implements a zero-trust, paranoid security approach to password management, utilizing techniques typically reserved for military and intelligence applications. This is password security without compromise. MILITARY GRADE SECURITY ARCHITECTURE Multi Layered Authentication (4 Factors): • Hardware Key support (YubiKey/FIDO2) • Biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID) with change detection • 8-digit PIN with anti-hammering protection • Master password (minimum 20 characters, 100-bit entropy) Cascading Encryption (3 Independent Layers): • XChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption • AES-256-GCM with fresh nonces • Serpent-256 for critical fields • Per-field encryption based on sensitivity • Hardware-bound keys with Secure Enclave integration ADVANCED THREAT PROTECTION Anti Intrusion Systems: • Failed attempt photo capture with location tracking • Behavioral analysis for anomaly detection • Hardware fingerprinting • Jailbreak and debugging detection • Progressive lockout with exponential backoff • Complete data wipe after 10 failed attempts Panic Mode Features: • Duress PIN triggers decoy vault with fake data • Configurable panic gestures (lock/wipe/decoy) • Silent alarm with emergency contact notification • Plausible deniability for high-risk situations • Fake fame skin with duress triggers for vault wipe Geofencing Protection: • Trusted location zones (50m-5km radius) • Auto-lock when leaving safe zones • Location spoofing detection • Temporary biometric override for travel PRIVACY FIRST DESIGN Memory & Runtime Protection: • Secure memory regions with access control • Core dump prevention • Runtime protection against debugging • Automatic memory wiping on deallocation Privacy Features: • Screenshot prevention with dynamic blur overlays • Screen recording detection • Clipboard auto-clear (30 seconds) • Custom secure keyboard • Watermarking for leak detection Data Obfuscation: • Vault fragmentation (10+ encrypted fragments) • Steganography support (hides data in images) • Zero-knowledge architecture • No backdoors or recovery mechanisms SECURE SYNC Device Management: • Maximum 5 authorized devices • Device fingerprinting (hardware + software) • Remote wipe capability with recovery prevention • Multiple overwrite passes for secure erasure COMPREHENSIVE PASSWORD MANAGEMENT Vault Features: • Password storage with TOTP support • Secure encrypted notes • 2FA recovery code management • Time-based OTP seeds • Password generation with entropy analysis • CoreData persistence with encryption WHO IS DAEMON FOR? This app is designed for users who: • Handle extremely sensitive information • Face sophisticated threat actors • Require plausible deniability capabilities • Need protection against physical device compromise • Want hardware-backed security guarantees • Work in high-security environments IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS Daemon prioritizes security over convenience. The mandatory multi-factor authentication, strict security policies, and zero-recovery design mean that lost credentials result in permanent data loss. This is intentional. This is not a typical password manager. It implements defense-in-depth architecture with anti-forensics capabilities that may be excessive for average users but essential for high-security requirements. COMPLIANCE & STANDARDS • OWASP security guidelines • NIST cryptographic standards • Privacy by design principles • Zero-knowledge architecture No telemetry. No analytics. No backdoors. Your security is absolute. I built this for myself, but I figured some of you may enjoy using such a paranoid approach to passwords.
