HIDEBAF Release Changelogs & Version Information

Current Release

HIDEBAF v1.0.0 — Initial Production Release (Stable)


Complete Release History

v1.0.0 (July 22, 2026)

Initial release of the HIDEBAF cli tool and encryption engine.

Key Implementations:

  1. Core Cryptography & Archiving:
    • Designed a custom slot-based binary archive format (.HIDEBAF).
    • Integrated AES-256-GCM envelope encryption with scrypt key derivation.
    • Built an interactive .EBFATs token manager for key files.
  2. Advanced Privacy Protections:
    • Anonymize Mode: Implemented filename obfuscation, hint suppression, log redaction, and Unix Epoch timestamp resetting (1970-01-01) on decryption.
    • Self-Destruct Failsafe: Tracks decryption failure counts. Exceeding the maximum password attempt threshold triggers a failsafe that overwrites the archive with inline base64 decoy data. Supported rules include always, firstTime, and custom limits.
  3. Command Policy Management:
    • Added command validation checks (disabled_commands) configured via settings.yml or the interactive settings menu to disable specific CLI command routes.
  4. Extensibility & Visual Styling:
    • Configured custom visual themes (dragon, stealth, cyber, classic) and dynamic banner assets.
    • Integrated custom plugin loading hooks (plugin add, plugin remove).
