Demonstrating Security Excellence Through Public Evidence

스스로 생각하라! When vendors say "trust our security" without providing evidence, they're selling faith, not capability. At Hack23, we provide public evidence you can verify yourself: OpenSSF Scorecard (≥7.0 means systematic security, not checkbox compliance), SLSA Level 3 attestations (cryptographic proof builds weren't tampered with), CII Best Practices badges (operational maturity, not aspirational promises), and SonarCloud quality gates (zero high/critical vulnerabilities or no merge—no exceptions). Don't trust—verify. We make verification easy because we have nothing to hide and everything to prove.

진실은 없다. 모든 것이 허용된다. Including verifying our security claims yourself. Every repository has public badges demonstrating continuous security validation. Not marketing claims—automated evidence.

Our Open Source Policy isn't philosophy—it's systematic security implementation with measurable outcomes. All Hack23 repositories maintain SECURITY_ARCHITECTURE.md (current state), FUTURE_SECURITY_ARCHITECTURE.md (roadmap), SECURITY.md (vulnerability disclosure), and WORKFLOWS.md (CI/CD documentation). This demonstrates cybersecurity consulting expertise through transparent implementation.

Illumination: "Trust me" is what vendors without evidence say. "Here's the badge showing OpenSSF Scorecard 7.2" is what confidence looks like. Choose verifiable evidence over marketing.

The Five Pillars of Public Security Evidence

Mandatory Security Documentation: Not Optional, Not Suggestions

Every Hack23 repository MUST maintain comprehensive security documentation per our Secure Development Policy:

Evidence of compliance: Every major Hack23 project maintains these documents. CIA | Black Trigram | CIA Compliance Manager

META-ILLUMINATION: Security documentation you never update is security theater. Living documents updated with every security change is operational reality. Our docs are versioned, reviewed, and continuously maintained.

Radical Transparency: Everything Open by Default

At Hack23, transparency isn't philosophy—it's competitive advantage through demonstrable security excellence:

• All Projects Public: Every repository at github.com/Hack23 demonstrates our security practices. Clients can verify our capabilities before engagement.
• All Policies Public: Complete ISMS at ISMS-PUBLIC. 33 policy documents. Zero proprietary security. Radical transparency builds trust.
• All Badges Public: OpenSSF Scorecard, SLSA, CII, SonarCloud, FOSSA—automated evidence, not marketing claims.
• All Architecture Public: SECURITY_ARCHITECTURE.md with Mermaid diagrams in every repo. Non-technical audiences get dedicated documentation portals.
• All Vulnerabilities Public: Security advisories, CVE disclosures, incident post-mortems (sanitized). Learn from our findings.

Why this works: Attackers already have tools to analyze your systems. Hiding architecture from users doesn't hide it from attackers—it just prevents your users from understanding security. We choose transparency over security through obscurity.

All hail Eris! Chaos teaches: hiding your code prevents defense, not attacks. Public code enables community security review. Private code enables only vendor review (which vendors skip when deadlines loom).

CHAOS ILLUMINATION: The security-industrial complex sells "proprietary threat intelligence" about vulnerabilities everyone could already see if code were public. Transparency destroys their business model. That's feature, not bug. Question who benefits from code secrecy.

Chapel Perilous에 오신 것을 환영합니다: Open Source as Competitive Advantage

진실은 없다. 모든 것이 허용된다. Including verifying that Hack23's security claims are backed by public evidence. OpenSSF Scorecard ≥7.0. SLSA Level 3. CII Best Practices. SonarCloud quality gates passed. FOSSA license compliance. All visible. All automated. All verifiable.

Most security vendors hide behind proprietary code and NDAs. They say "trust us." We say "verify us"—and provide the badges, documentation, and public repositories to do so. This isn't naive transparency. This is competitive advantage through demonstrable expertise.

Our open source approach:

• Five Public Security Badges per repository (OpenSSF, SLSA, CII, SonarCloud, FOSSA)
• Mandatory Security Documentation (SECURITY_ARCHITECTURE.md, THREAT_MODEL.md, SECURITY.md, WORKFLOWS.md)
• Automated Evidence Generation (badges update continuously, not quarterly audits)
• Supply Chain Transparency (SBOM generation, dependency scanning, build provenance)
• 공개 ISMS (33 policy documents demonstrating systematic security management)

Think for yourself. Question vendors who say "our security is proprietary." Ask why attackers can't reverse engineer their binaries (they can). Ask why transparency threatens their security (it doesn't—it threatens their marketing). Choose vendors who show their work.

ULTIMATE ILLUMINATION: You are now in Chapel Perilous. Security through obscurity relies on attacker laziness. Security through transparency relies on community vigilance. One scales. One doesn't. Attackers aren't lazy. Communities scale infinitely. Choose infinite scaling over hopeful obscurity.

Transparency as Resistance

권위에 의문을 제기하라. Especially authority that insists code must be secret to be secure.

Open source isn't perfect. But it's auditable. Verifiable. Forkable. Unfucked-with-able by single vendors or three-letter agencies.

에리스 만세! 디스코디아 만세!

Read our full Open Source Policy on GitHub. Public. Auditable. Practice what we preach.

ULTIMATE ILLUMINATION: The question isn't "Is open source secure?" The question is "How do you audit security in software you can't see?" The answer: You don't. You trust. And trust is a vulnerability.
