Official Download Packages

All binaries are compiled natively with full compiler hardening, signed with GPG detached signatures, and indexed with cryptographic SHA-256 manifests.

What's New & Hardened Today

SlashBeacon v0.5.0 marks the Post-Mortem Release — delivering granular one-by-one member removal from the Protected Members vault, disconnect safety resilience, sanitized production isolation, and refreshed visual identity assets.

🧠

Patched RustFFT Perceptual Defense

Integrated a hermetic in-tree patch for RustFFT powering high-performance discrete cosine transforms (DCT) for multi-keyframe perceptual avatar hashing (pHash). Maintains 100% mitigation in red-team drills against rotation, scaling, and color manipulation spoofing.

🧪

Comprehensive Unit Test Suites

Engineered end-to-end automated ES module unit tests across all frontend components (State, Triage stream, Vault, Audit, DOMPurify, Modals, and Discord Setup), alongside 215 passed Rust backend test suites with zero failures under strict compiler gates.

⚖️

Authoritative REST Moderation

Integrated real Discord REST API execution for imposter "Ban & Purge" actions with configurable message prune windows. Enforces anti-masquerading state guarantees and non-poisoning mutex guards during token disconnects.

📦

Hardened Installer & Asset Pipeline

Updated official installers across macOS Universal 2 (.dmg with custom Finder background layout and 'pBBk' bookmark aliases), Windows 64-bit NSIS/WiX installers, and Linux AppImage with verified multi-resolution icon assets.

🛡️

Secure Web & Crawler Infrastructure

Deployed strict Content-Security-Policy (CSP), CORS, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options headers on the distribution site. Added complete llms.txt AI assistant guidance and robots.txt crawl parameters.

🛡️

Automated Supply Chain & Quality Gates

Hermetic CI test suites, cargo deny license audits, and static analysis ensure memory-safe compilation with zero unresolved warnings across 671 audited transitive crates.

Cryptographic Verification

Verify the integrity of downloaded binaries prior to execution. We provide detached GPG signatures and standard SHA-256 checksums for every build artifact.

Opening on macOS

macOS releases are cryptographically signed with an official Apple Developer ID Application certificate. If Gatekeeper requests confirmation on first launch, right-click SlashBeacon.app, select Open, and click Open in the dialog. Or run xattr -cr /Applications/SlashBeacon.app.

Microsoft Windows Defender

Windows SmartScreen Prompt

When launching the installer, Windows SmartScreen may show an unrecognised app alert because the binary is not signed with an enterprise EV certificate. Click More info, then choose Run anyway. You can verify the SHA-256 hash first.

Linux Permissions

Linux AppImage Execution

After downloading the AppImage, grant execution permissions: chmod +x SlashBeacon_0.5.0_amd64.AppImage. On Ubuntu 22.04+, ensure libfuse2 is installed: sudo apt install libfuse2.

Automated Code Validation

Hermetic Test & Security Gates

SlashBeacon releases undergo rigorous automated test suites (215+ tests), strict memory-safe static analysis, input sanitization, and dependency vulnerability auditing before publication.

Engineered for Transparency

A native desktop security center that operates unobtrusively in your system tray while keeping your Discord sessions protected.

Active Protection Dashboard

Local-First Defense Architecture

Unlike commercial security software that uploads your chats or telemetry to proprietary cloud servers, SlashBeacon runs 100% locally.

🛡️

100% Offline & Private

Zero external API calls, zero cloud telemetry, and zero tracking beacons. All threat scanning, perceptual DCT hashing, and audit log retention occurs exclusively on your machine.

🔐

AES-256-GCM Encrypted Vault

Authenticated domain-bound encryption with Argon2id derivation, Zeroize memory hygiene, and strict owner-only POSIX permissions.

🗄️

Forensic SQLite Quarantine

Pre-flight integrity gates preserve corrupt databases and WAL frames into timestamped archives without data loss, with non-blocking online backups.

🧵

Rayon Worker Pool & UTR #39

Dedicated Rayon pool offloading for DCT & 3-keyframe animated avatar sampling, paired with Unicode Technical Report #39 confusable canonical skeletons for unmasking sneaky homoglyphs.

⚡

Multi-Guild Gateway & Anti-Replay

Multi-guild connection manager with shared token deduplication, jittered exponential backoff, Opcode 6 session resumption, and replay-immune authoritative backend moderation.

🔄

Cryptographic Auto-Updater & Sandboxing

Ed25519 Minisign signed updates across macOS, Windows, and Linux powered by Tauri 2, with tightly scoped native capabilities and hardened content security policies.
