DarkDreem — Cybersecurity Awareness Simulation

A multi-platform educational tool that demonstrates how nuisance software and social-engineering attacks can temporarily disrupt a user's experience. This repository contains three distinct versions of the simulation:

1. Desktop Simulation (Python/Tkinter)
2. Web Simulation (HTML/JS/Flask)
3. Android Native App (Java/Android SDK)

🎯 Purpose

This is a proof-of-concept simulation for cybersecurity awareness training. It helps users understand how disruptive software works by experiencing a harmless, time-limited demonstration.

🚀 Let Quick Start

1. Web Version (Cross-Platform)

The web version runs in any browser and uses aggressive social engineering (a fake alert screen) to bypass browser auto-play restrictions.

# 1. Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 2. Launch the Flask web server
python web_server.py

# 3. Share the simulation using localhost.run (in a new terminal)
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -R 80:localhost:5000 nokey@localhost.run

Share the generated *.lhr.life link with any device.

2. Android Native App for android

The Android version demonstrates OS-level aggressive persistence by locking the screen, maxing the volume, and disabling the back button.

# Build the APK using Gradle wrapper
cd android-app
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64
./gradlew assembleDebug

The APK will be generated at: android-app/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk. You can install it via ADB: adb install -r path/to/app-debug.apk or download it directly from the web server at /download.html.

3. Desktop Version (Windows/Linux)

A full-screen Python/Tkinter simulation that demonstrates aggressive desktop takeover techniques.

# 1. Generate the alert tone (required first time)
python generate_tone.py

# 2. Run the simulation
python simulation.py

🛡️ Safety Guarantees

• ✅ No data collection — nothing is sent anywhere.
• ✅ No file modification — your device is untouched.
• ✅ Auto-terminate — ends automatically after 2 minutes.
