项目说明

3lackcat Research

> Status: design and research phase. This repository is under acti. The architecture, interfaces, experiments, and roadmap described here are pro; there is no stable release or production-ready implementation.

3lackcat Research is an applied cryptographic-security and algorithmic research project for authorized, offline password recovery, defensi auditing, and controlled security research. It in how deterministic password and key-deri can be surrounded by better data handling, probabilistic modeling, candidate ordering, resource allocation, reproducible e, and explainable defensi.

The project does not currently claim new ciphers, hash functions, protocols, or other cryptographic primitives. Its cryptographic focus is the correct and go use of password/KDF , exact-byte handling, integrity, privacy, and reproducibility around sensiti artifacts.

Executi

Existing recovery and audit workflows can waste finite compute budgets on duplicated, malformed, poorly ordered, or weakly documented candidate streams. 3lackcat explores a probability-ranked orchestration layer around an external deterministic - for example, hashcat - so candidate-generation research can evol weakening the boundary.

The go principle is:

> Models propose and rank candidates. Scheduling allocates a finite e budget. A deterministic confirms or rejects candidates. Defensi explains the result, pro, and security implications.

The intended research workflow is local, offline, scoped, auditable, and pri. The goal is not undisciplined brute force; it is to measure whether byte-correct, deduplicated, semantically traceable, and better-ordered candidates impro recovery value under controlled conditions.

System at a glance

| Research layer | Top-le |
|---|---|
| Go and safety | Authorization, target and data scope, audit trails, retention, and redaction requirements |
| Data foundation | Byte-preserving ingestion, pro, controlled normalization, and separation of metadata from sensiti |
| Research models | Semantic enrichment, probabilistic context-free grammars, learned generators, ordered decoding, and scope-appro conditioning |
| Algorithmic orchestration | Candidate ranking, uniqueness and co accounting, finite-budget scheduling, obser, and reproducible e |
| Deterministic | A narrow, tool-agnostic boundary around an external offline ; model scores ne a recovery result |
| Defensi | Redacted findings, semantic weakness analysis, reproducibility manifests, and remediation-oriented reporting |

Initial research program: Functions 1-7

The first research track covers the front half of the proposed system:

1. Authorization and Scope Gate - a fail-closed, auditable boundary for operators, targets, appro, permitted outputs, plaintext handling, expiration, and retention.
2. Ingestion Broker - scope-aware, streaming, byte-preserving import of appro and artifacts into structured, pro records.
3. Input Normalization Intelligence - non-destructi families for encoding, Unicode, layout, and related transformations while preserving original bytes and limiting expansion.
4. Semantic Enrichment Engine - ambiguity-aware parsing of candidates into explainable, semantic structures using only appro sources.
5. Semantic PCFG Builder - interpretable probability models o patterns, components, and transformations, with calibration and deri pro.
6. Learned Candidate Generator - go byte-aware sequence modeling with data lineage, careful e splits, model documentation, calibration, and memorization controls.
7. Ordered Neural Decoding - deterministic or explicitly approximate probability-ranked search, with policy filtering, deduplication, batching, checkpointing, and replay.

Later system research extends this foundation with mixture ranking, target-profile modeling, conser adapti, co ledgers, en profiling, adapters, and defensi.

Research questions

E posture

All efficacy claims are considered unpro measured on approved, held-out data under fixed budgets. Planned comparisons include static wordlists and rules, classic and semantic PCFGs, random neural sampling, ordered decoding, and hybrid PCFG-neural methods.

Representati include co at a fixed candidate budget, reco per candidate or compute-hour, duplicate rate, calibration, deterministic replay, exact byte round-tripping, parser quality, pro completeness, and policy . E design must control source leakage, group related normalization families, separate train and test material, and document datasets and model .

De roadmap

1. Scope and go - freeze the research boundary, authorization model, retention policy, sensiti rules, interface, and e policy.
2. Auditable foundations - establish manifests, event records, sensiti controls, ingestion, deduplication, and deterministic joins.
3. Core algorithmic path - develop normalization, semantic enrichment, semantic PCFGs, small learned generators, ordered decoding, ranking, and conser scheduling.
4. Safety and - add redaction review, metrics, replay and integrity tests, baseline comparisons, schema , and operational stop conditions.
5. Research hardening - impro surfaces, documentation, model and dataset cards, packaging, calibration, and controlled reproducibility.
6. Post-M - consider larger training pipelines, ad scheduling, GPU optimization, distributed workers, and cross-run learning only after separate security, go, cost, and efficacy reviews.

Operating boundaries

This project is intended only for lawful work with explicit authorization, such as recovery for assets owned or administered by the operator, written-scope enterprise password audits, properly authorized forensics, and research using appro.

It is not designed for online login automation, credential stuffing, phishing, rate-limit e, access-control bypass, or unauthorized account access. Ambiguous scope must fail closed. Repository access does not grant authorization to use this research or any future software against a target.

Sensiti and outputs require data minimization, pro, access control, redacted logs, and explicit retention or destruction rules. Plaintext may exist only where operationally necessary and approved, and should remain access-controlled and ephemeral where.

Current non-claims

At this stage, 3lackcat Research is not production-ready, independently audited, benchmark-, or claimed to be state of the art. Performance gains described in design work are hypotheses to test, not achie. Ad model training, high-performance decoding, distributed orchestration, and operational integrations remain later research areas.

Design basis

This o is synthesized from the internal *3lackcat System Design Document* and *3lackcat Design Outline: Functions 1-7*. It will evolve as research questions are tested and appro architecture decisions are resolved.
