TruthBeacon v0.1.0 — Official Release Notes

Orange Heart Industries — Identity Ground-Truth & Community Stewardship

Overview

TruthBeacon v0.1.0 is the inaugural production release of our standalone desktop security console designed specifically for Discord community leadership, pastoral teams, and server moderators.

TruthBeacon continuously inspects live Discord member events in real-time, detecting and mitigating identity impersonation attacks before bad actors can exploit pastoral or administrative trust to defraud community members.

Key Capabilities

  1. Deterministic Multi-Script Homoglyph Detection:

    • Sub-50ms deterministic normalization and skeleton decomposition (NFKD).
    • Defeats cross-script lookalike substitutions across Cyrillic, Greek, Mathematical, and Latin lookalikes.
    • De-obfuscates invisible unicode anomalies, zero-width spaces, and bidirectional text overrides.

  2. Perceptual Avatar Clone Defense:

    • Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) perceptual image hashing (img_hash).
    • Automatically flags unauthorized copies and subtle visual perturbations of moderator and VIP avatars.

  3. Snowflake Cryptographic Account Age Analysis:

    • Parses Discord 64-bit integer IDs directly to extract real account creation epochs.
    • Escalates risk tier when brand-new accounts (< 72 hours old) exhibit visual or naming similarity to benchmark staff.

  4. Zero-Telemetry Local Data Sovereignty:

    • No cloud snooping, no external logging, and no analytics beacons.
    • All benchmarks, audit logs, and incident records are retained exclusively on the operator's machine in encrypted SQLite databases.
    • Bot tokens and credentials securely held in the host operating system's native keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux Secret Service).

  5. Discord-Familiar Operator Interface:

    • Styled after Discord’s high-contrast dark theme (#111214, #1e1f22, #2b2d31, #313338) accented with Orange Heart warmth (#f97316).
    • Clean, non-technical triage card layout with comparative side-by-side identity adjudication.

Platform Availability & Supported Operating Systems

  • macOS (Universal 2):
    • Supports Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs (macOS 10.15 Catalina or higher).
    • Packaged as a drag-and-drop .dmg installer with custom Orange Heart backdrop and a standalone portable .app bundle.
  • Windows (x64):
    • Supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit).
    • Packaged via WiX (.msi) for enterprise deployment, NSIS (.exe) for standard setup, and a portable executable.
  • Linux (x86_64):
    • Supports Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, Fedora, and Arch.
    • Packaged as a native Debian .deb package and portable standalone .AppImage.
