FAQ

Yes, all software is completely free to download and use. The source code is open source on GitHub under the MIT License — you can use it for personal and commercial projects.

No. All software is packaged as standalone .exe files using PyInstaller. Just download and run — no Python, no dependencies, no installation wizard required.

Currently all desktop software targets Windows 10 and Windows 11. The source code is Python-based so it can potentially run on other platforms, but the packaged .exe files are Windows-only.

This is a known false positive with PyInstaller-packaged executables. Windows Defender sometimes flags unfamiliar .exe files, especially those created with PyInstaller. The full source code is available on GitHub for transparency — you can review every line of code and build the executable yourself.

When the SmartScreen warning appears, click "More info" then "Run anyway". You can also add the file to Windows Defender's exclusion list: Settings → Privacy & Security → Windows Security → Virus & Threat Protection → Manage Settings → Add or remove exclusions.

FetchPro splits large files into up to 16 parallel segments and downloads them simultaneously. Each segment is downloaded independently, then merged back together. This can significantly increase download speed, especially on fast connections where a single stream doesn't saturate your bandwidth.

Yes. FetchPro has built-in yt-dlp integration and supports downloading from YouTube and hundreds of other video/audio platforms. You can download as MP4 video or extract MP3 audio. There's also a Chrome Extension that adds download buttons directly to video sites.

Yes. FetchPro runs a local REST API on localhost:9100 that supports endpoints for status, statistics, queue management, and download operations. This allows integration with scripts, browser extensions, and other automation tools.

Absolutely not. Master Cleaner follows a strict Scan → Review → Approve workflow. Every action requires you to scan first, review the results with checkboxes, and explicitly click "Approve" before anything is modified or deleted. Nothing happens automatically.

The built-in YARA scanner includes 7 rule sets: suspicious PE imports, ransomware indicators, PowerShell obfuscation, keylogger patterns, network backdoors, registry persistence mechanisms, and Mimikatz forensics tools. You can also add your own custom .yar rule files.

Yes. The shredder uses the DoD 5220.22-M standard with 7-pass overwrite. Each pass writes different patterns over the data, making recovery virtually impossible even with professional data recovery tools.

P2P Fortress uses dual encryption layers (ChaCha20-Poly1305 and AES-256-GCM), X25519 ephemeral key exchange for Perfect Forward Secrecy, and Argon2id key derivation at OWASP 2023 maximum security parameters (128 MB RAM, 4 iterations). Certificate pinning and SAS fingerprinting prevent MITM attacks.

No. P2P Fortress is fully serverless — files transfer directly between peers. For connections across different networks, it can optionally use magic-wormhole relay servers. For local transfers, it discovers nearby devices automatically via UDP beacons.

When enabled, files are automatically and securely deleted on the receiver's device after they are opened. This ensures sensitive files don't persist on the recipient's machine after being viewed.
