We welcome responsible security researchers to stress-test the Eternal Trust Boundary (ETB) architecture. We are committed to working with the community to validate our security assumptions and reward valid findings.

Researchers are encouraged to analyze and attempt exploits against the following targets:

• Boundary Validation Bypass: Tricking etb_gate.py into accepting packets that fail DVN thresholds or block confirmation integrity checks.
• Orchestration Integrity: Malicious local state injection that causes manage_lab.sh or the backend core to crash or expose unencrypted logging telemetry.
• Dashboard State Manipulation: Bypassing UI filters in SHADOW_DASHBOARD_FINAL.py to spoof financial simulation metrics or override historical event logs.

The following activities are strictly prohibited:

• Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) attacks against any cloud infrastructure hosting public mirrors of this repository.
• Social engineering, phishing, or physical attacks targeting the maintainers or contributors.

Do not open a public GitHub Issue for security bugs. Please submit all findings privately:

1. Send an email to: caseithapp3ns2u2@gmail.com
2. Include "VULNERABILITY REPORT: [Brief Description]" in the subject line.
3. Provide a clear, reproducible Proof of Concept (PoC) script or detailed payload trace.

Valid structural flaws that successfully bypass our boundary validation proxy will receive:

• Permanent attribution and placement in our repository's Security Hall of Fame.
• A public shout-out in our framework release notes once the structural patch has been deployed.

Thank you for helping keep the ETB framework secure!
