Authorized use

CyberThreatGotchi is a defensive edge sensor for networks you own or are explicitly authorized to monitor. IPS blocks, wardrive profiles, and lab tools require written scope — not opportunistic targeting.

CrackBot, CYD, and Cardputer tools are separate product lines with distinct SKUs and firmware. Reward tiers label each bundle clearly.

Quick answers

Is this a real IPS? Yes — capture, scoring, optional ClamAV, iptables block on Linux, SQLite + audit chain.

Can I run without hardware? Clone the repo and use --simulation --web or Docker.

What's partner fulfillment? Selected SKUs (Meshtastic) ship from verified independent makers we batch-order after the campaign — not from our Philadelphia bench.

Shipping? Not included in pledge for direct Philly kits; US zone estimates $9–$18. Meshtastic tier includes partner shipping in pledge.
