Adapt Princess_Pi's Encrypt-Share-Attribution scheme so shared files are anonymous but provably attributable. A. In-session: a persistent Ed25519 persona key (~/.config/hack-house/ persona_ed25519) signs every /send and /sendroom offer over the content hash; receivers verify it and see the persona fingerprint. Optional --attest <passphrase> attaches a revealable SHA-512(pass||sha256) commitment. Additive JSON — wire-compatible with the Python client. B. Portable: /export-signed <dir> packages a directory into Princess_Pi's exact ESA 7z (fresh per-round Ed25519 sig over an inner 7z, SHA-512 checksums, bundled verify scripts). Builder embedded from hh/tools/esa/esa_build.sh; verifiable with just bash+7z+ssh-keygen. Tests: 45 pass (3 new persona). ESA archive build + verify-everything.sh + passphrase reveal verified end-to-end. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pseudonymous attribution
hack-house lets you share files pseudonymously but provably — a recipient can verify who authored a file (and that it's intact) without anyone, including the relay server, learning your real identity. It adapts Princess_Pi's Encrypt-Share-Attribution scheme from the Church of Malware codex (https://git.thecoven.info/PrincessPi/Encrypt-Share-Attribution).
There are two independent ways to prove authorship, mirroring ESA:
-
Persona signature (automatic). On first run each client mints a long-lived Ed25519 "persona" key at
~/.config/hack-house/persona_ed25519(0600). Every/send//sendroomoffer carries the persona public key and a detached signature overattest-v1 || sha256 || name || size. Receivers verify it and see the persona fingerprint (⛧<8 hex>), so the same author is recognizable across offers. The fields are additive JSON — a Python peer that doesn't sign still interoperates (its offers just show as unsigned). -
Attribution passphrase (opt-in). Add
--attest <passphrase>to a send: the offer then carries a commitmentSHA-512(passphrase || sha256). You can later reveal the passphrase to prove authorship to anyone, even people who weren't in the room.
Commands
/send <user> <path> [--attest <passphrase>]
/sendroom <path> [--attest <passphrase>]
/export-signed <dir> [--attest <passphrase>]
/export-signed packages a directory into a portable, self-verifying ESA 7z
archive (verifiable_archive_<ts>.7z) using Princess_Pi's exact format: a fresh
per-round Ed25519 key signs an inner contents.7z, SHA-512 checksums cover the
outer layer, and bundled verify-everything.sh / test_validate_passphrase.sh
let anyone with bash + 7z + ssh-keygen verify it — no hack-house needed. The
builder is hh/tools/esa/esa_build.sh (embedded in the binary). Requires 7z,
ssh-keygen, sha512sum, shred, openssl on the host.
