Legal Transparency

Professional transparency is the cornerstone of trust in the security research community. Below you'll find our core legal frameworks for the STYX and ACHERON ecosystem.

Legal Essentials

Research & development scope only: the virtualized environment is licensed for development, debugging, and security analysis.

No App Store bypass: final signing, Apple Developer membership, and distribution rules still apply for production release.

No Apple affiliation: all Apple marks are referenced descriptively; we do not claim endorsement or partnership.

No proprietary Apple binaries: interoperability tooling is original implementation; users provide their own lawful firmware/assets.

No piracy / DRM abuse: use for unauthorized entry, piracy, or rights circumvention outside lawful security research is prohibited.

Cloud & BYOK responsibility: managed inference is optional; customers are responsible for third-party API usage and contractual compliance.

Apple ecosystem · distribution & compliance

Cyber-Ifrit aims to interoperate with Apple’s published developer surfaces (including App Store Connect API and standard upload paths) using customer-owned Apple Developer identities. We do not sell or share Apple Developer Program enrollment, and we do not design workflows to bypass App Store review, FairPlay, or device security.

  • BYOA: programs and certificates stay under the customer’s Apple ID / team.
  • Official APIs: prefer Apple-documented endpoints and tooling categories appropriate to your pipeline.
  • No trademark confusion: we are not affiliated with Apple; marks are used descriptively.

Apple trademark notice: Apple, App Store, Apple Developer, TestFlight, Transporter, and related marks are trademarks of Apple Inc. For a fuller narrative (including what we explicitly avoid), read the Compliance section on the homepage. Nothing here is legal advice—consult qualified counsel for your rollout.
