Engineered for Instant, Uncompromising Privacy

Designed in native C++ with direct Win32 kernel hooks to guarantee zero bypasses, sub-5ms process interception, and zero battery drain.

Sub-5ms Pre-Render Interception

Windows event hooks intercept launch events before the target application can draw frames on screen, instantly suspending execution until verified.

Windows Hello Biometrics & PIN

Seamlessly authenticate with your fingerprint, facial recognition, or Windows PIN via native Microsoft CredUI security dialogs.

DPAPI Hardware-Encrypted PIN

Your Master Passcode is salted with SHA-256 and encrypted via Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI), bound directly to your physical TPM and user profile.

Anti-Brute-Force Rate Limiting

Automated lockout delays trigger after consecutive failed attempts, preventing automated script cracking and dictionary brute-force attacks.

Real-Time Security Audit Trails

Every lock, unlock, failed authentication attempt, and hotkey trigger is timestamped and written locally to `%APPDATA%\Suraksha\logs\audit.log`.

Zero Telemetry & 100% Offline

No network permissions, no telemetry pings, no cloud dependencies. Suraksha is completely self-contained and operates entirely offline on your PC.

Built Without Legacy Bloat

Unlike Electron or web-wrapper tools that consume hundreds of megabytes of RAM, Suraksha is engineered purely in C++20 and GDI+.

<12 MB

RAM Footprint

Lightweight native process memory footprint that runs silently in the background without affecting gaming or workload performance.

0.0%

Idle CPU Usage

Event-driven WinEvent hooks wake up only when windows change, ensuring zero battery drain on laptops and Surface devices.

100%

Direct Canvas GDI+

Custom rasterizer eliminating legacy Win32 child HWNDs, white flash artifacts, and rectangular border bleeding.

SHA-256

DPAPI Encryption

Hardware-backed cryptographic protection using Microsoft Windows Data Protection API bound to your physical hardware.

Enterprise Global System Hotkeys

Trigger immediate security lockdowns or summon the Suraksha dashboard from anywhere across Windows with single global keybindings.

Everything You Need to Know

Clear, transparent answers about how Suraksha operates on your Windows PC.

Because Suraksha maintains zero telemetry and stores your passcode in salted, DPAPI-encrypted form, forgotten passcodes cannot be retrieved. However, if you have Windows Authentication enabled, you can always authenticate using your Windows Account Password or Windows Hello fingerprint/PIN.
No. Suraksha collects zero data. It contains no tracking code, telemetry libraries, or cloud endpoints. All configuration policies and audit logs stay 100% on your local storage drive. You can review our full Privacy Policy.
Suraksha utilizes dual kernel hooks (`EVENT_SYSTEM_FOREGROUND` and `EVENT_OBJECT_SHOW`) combined with a fast background process scanner. When a locked executable or its parent process launches via Task Manager, cmd.exe, PowerShell, or third-party launchers, it is immediately hidden and suspended until authentication passes.
Yes! Suraksha is 100% free and open-source software licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPLv3). You can inspect, compile, or contribute to the complete C++ codebase on GitHub.
Suraksha is natively compiled for Windows 11 and Windows 10 on both x64 (Intel/AMD) and ARM64 processors with full support for Microsoft Windows Hello biometrics.
