The journey of StarFamily - from a Christmas night dream to the world's first post-quantum security suite. Each star marks a milestone in our revolution.
When the first star appeared over our heads
Christmas Eve. A single star appeared in the darkness. The StarFamily daemons came to life for the first time on AlmaLinux 10.1. "We reject the nature of compromise."
The discovery that changed everything. Direct BPF syscalls instead of libbpf abstractions. 467,470 GeoIP entries in 2 seconds instead of hours.
Every master learns from failure. JSON vs Legacy API, bpftool argument parsing, and the wisdom of pre-populated BPF maps.
The moment HEXA became real. Six algorithms from six mathematical foundations. 17,728-character public keys. The post-quantum revolution begins.
The constellation takes shape
As the world celebrated, we coded. The final days of 2025 saw the constellation grow stronger, ready to cross into the new year.
The first sunrise of the new year brought new challenges and triumphs. The foundation was solid. Time to build the towers.
Four major components in one day: StarWeb, StarProxy, StarBox mail system. The family was growing rapidly.
HISTORIC SESSION. Full HEXA-6 over MPQUIC transport. The backbone that would connect all stars: Quinn QUIC + mTLS + StarCA. 2-4x bandwidth aggregation.
The walls rise, impenetrable
The web interface evolved. Every pixel perfected, every interaction refined. User experience meets quantum security.
Email enters the quantum age. BDAT streaming, HEXA-encrypted messages, and the revolutionary StarBox mail architecture.
HEXA-DNSSEC++ complete. Post-quantum DNS protection. Algorithms 252 (ML-DSA-65) and 254 (SLH-DSA). Star-Admin Edge-2 mode validated.
The certificate chain grows stronger. StarBridge post-quantum, ML-KEM chain of trust, HEXA PKI infrastructure. Every link quantum-resistant.
The quantum age truly begins
At 13:07:31 GMT, the last SSH connection was severed forever. Port 22 closed by StarLinkGate XDP. 31 years of service ended. HEXA-Shell rises. "22 CVEs was 22 too many."
SFTP dies. HEXA-FS rises. Full OCTA-8 quantum-secure file transfer with Skein-1024 @ 127 MB/s, Threefish-1024 @ 44 MB/s. Triple-signed everything. "When SFTP asks 'why?', HEXA-FS whispers 'because we can.'"
The constellation continues to grow. Each star a breakthrough. Each breakthrough a step toward total quantum security.
