## Security
|
|
|
|
### Encryption
|
|
|
|
- **ChaCha20** for C2 communications
|
|
- **Configurable keys** via menuconfig
|
|
- **Protocol Buffers (nanoPB)** for serialization
|
|
|
|
**CHANGE DEFAULT KEYS** for production use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Generate random keys
|
|
openssl rand -hex 32 # ChaCha20 key (32 bytes)
|
|
openssl rand -hex 12 # Nonce (12 bytes)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
- **Ethical** security research
|
|
- Education and training
|
|
- Legitimate IoT prototyping
|
