Welcome to CHANAKYA

CHANAKYA is a research-grade framework for understanding how operational security fails through emergent signal correlation across abstraction layers.

知己知彼,百战不殆
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." — Sun Tzu


What is CHANAKYA?

CHANAKYA is not an OPSEC checklist or compliance framework. It is a multi-INT intelligence analysis platform that models how weak signals combine across 15 dimensions to enable attribution.

Core Principle

OPSEC failures emerge from signal correlation, not checklist violations.


Framework Architecture

15 Comprehensive OPSEC Dimensions:

Category Layers Purpose
Technical 6 layers Browser, Userland, Kernel, DNS, Routing, Metadata
Intelligence 6 layers OSINT, SIGINT, GEOINT, HUMINT, Forensics, AI-Augmented
Operational 3 layers Anti-Forensics, Financial Privacy, Infrastructure Stealth

Target Audience

  • Intelligence Analysts - All-source fusion & attribution
  • Red Team Operators - Understanding infrastructure leakage
  • Security Researchers - Attribution technique research
  • Military Cyber Operations - Nation-state resistance

Attribution Weight Formula

AW = V × R × C

  • V = Visibility (0.0-1.0) - How observable is the signal?
  • R = Retention (0.0-1.0) - How long is it logged/stored?
  • C = Correlation (0.0-1.0) - How linkable to other signals?

Risk Tiers:

  • AW > 0.8: CRITICAL (immediate attribution likely)
  • AW 0.5-0.8: HIGH (attribution probable with analysis)
  • AW 0.3-0.5: MEDIUM (requires cross-INT correlation)
  • AW < 0.3: LOW (weak signal, difficult to attribute alone)
