Daemon Vault

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.
