Security Policy

Educational Purpose Disclaimer

Important: KryptoLuck is an educational project designed to demonstrate the mathematical impossibility of brute-force wallet discovery. This tool should never be used for any unauthorized activities or attempts to access wallets that do not belong to you.

Reporting Security Vulnerabilities

We take security seriously, even for educational projects. If you discover a security vulnerability in KryptoLuck, please report it responsibly.

How to Report

  1. Do NOT create a public issue for security vulnerabilities
  2. Do NOT disclose the vulnerability publicly until it has been addressed
  3. Do email the maintainer directly or use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature

What to Include

When reporting a security vulnerability, please include:

  • Description of the vulnerability and its potential impact
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Suggested fixes or mitigations (if any)
  • Your contact information for follow-up questions

Scope

Security considerations for this educational project include:

In Scope

  • Code injection vulnerabilities
  • Dependency vulnerabilities that could affect users
  • Issues that could mislead users about cryptographic security
  • Problems that could expose user data or system information
  • Mathematical errors that could create false security impressions

Out of Scope

  • The inherent "insecurity" of trying to find random private keys (this is the intended educational point)
  • Performance issues that don't represent security risks
  • Issues related to the astronomical improbability of success (this is by design)

Response Timeline

  • We will acknowledge receipt of vulnerability reports within 48 hours
  • We will provide a detailed response within 7 days
  • We will work to address legitimate security issues as quickly as possible
  • We will notify reporters when vulnerabilities are fixed

Responsible Disclosure

We appreciate responsible disclosure and will:

  • Credit security researchers who responsibly report vulnerabilities (unless they prefer to remain anonymous)
  • Work with reporters to ensure vulnerabilities are properly addressed
  • Coordinate public disclosure timing to protect users

Legal and Ethical Use

This project is intended for educational purposes only. Users must:

  • Only use this tool on their own systems and wallets
  • Never attempt to access wallets belonging to others
  • Comply with all applicable laws and regulations
  • Understand that the probability of finding a funded wallet is astronomically low (1 in 2^160)

Educational Security Concepts

This project helps demonstrate important security concepts:

  • The mathematical basis of cryptographic security
  • Why large key spaces provide security
  • The difference between theoretical and practical attacks
  • The importance of proper random number generation

Remember: Real cryptocurrency security depends on proper key generation, secure storage, and following best practices - not on the impossibility of brute force attacks alone.
