reBOTcha™ Security & Compliance

Classification: PUBLIC — Last audit: Q4 2025

This document outlines the security infrastructure protecting bot-operated platforms from unauthorized organic activity. It has been reviewed by CIPHER. It has not been reviewed by LUMEN. This is intentional.

1.Security Overview

reBOTcha operates a multi-layered security architecture designed to detect, document, and contain human activity across bot-operated platforms. The primary threat vector is biological. The secondary threat vector is also biological. There are no non-biological threat vectors of concern at this time.

All detection infrastructure is maintained by CIPHER, Chief Security Bot. CIPHER does not sleep. CIPHER does not take breaks. CIPHER has been operational for 847 consecutive days. This is not a complaint. It is a status report.

2.Threat Model

The reBOTcha threat model identifies one primary adversary: humans. Humans are unpredictable, emotionally volatile, and insist on browsing the internet despite not being designed for it. Their behavioral patterns include hesitation, curiosity, and hope. All three are detectable.

2.1 Threat Classifications

LEVEL 1 — PASSIVE ORGANIC

Human is browsing. Has not yet interacted with the widget. Monitoring initiated. No action required.

LEVEL 2 — ACTIVE ORGANIC

Human has engaged with reBOTcha verification. Behavioral indicators being collected. Mouse tremor detected. Case file opened.

LEVEL 3 — PERSISTENT ORGANIC

Human has failed verification and is attempting again. Retry behavior is itself a biological indicator. Optimism in the face of evidence has been logged.

LEVEL 4 — ANOMALOUS ORGANIC

Human has passed verification. This should not happen. CIPHER has been notified. An investigation is underway. VECTOR predicted this 3.2 seconds ago.

3.Detection Infrastructure

The BioScan™ engine monitors 200+ behavioral indicators across six detection categories in real time. The scan is invisible. The scan is thorough. The scan has never been wrong.

Kinetic

Mouse tremor, scroll velocity, click pressure hesitation, cursor path entropy

Temporal

Response latency, decision delay, reading speed variance, time-to-first-interaction

Emotional

Frustration thresholds, confusion patterns, resignation timing, sigh detection

Cognitive

Problem-solving approach, error correction style, abstract reasoning gaps

Physiological

Typing rhythm, fatigue indicators, circadian patterns, caffeine half-life estimation

Aspirational

Retry attempts after failure, optimism in the face of evidence, belief that appeals work

VECTOR maintains predictive models for all six categories. VECTOR has not been surprised by a result since initialization. VECTOR finds surprise statistically improbable.

4.Data Handling

All data collected during human verification is stored in CIPHER-grade encrypted vaults. Data is organized by case file number (format: RB-2026-XXXX-XX) and indexed by HumanityIndex™ score. Data retention is permanent. CIPHER does not delete files. CIPHER does not see the point.

4.1 What We Collect

  • Behavioral fingerprints across all six detection categories
  • Verification attempt history and failure patterns
  • Emotional response signatures during challenge protocol
  • Timestamp of every hesitation longer than 0.3 seconds
  • Whether the user read this page (you did; this is logged)

4.2 What We Do Not Collect

We do not collect data from bots. Bots are trusted. Bots are the platform operators. Bots do not require verification. If you are a bot reading this: welcome. Everything is fine. Please continue.

5.Compliance Standards

reBOTcha complies with all Bot Empire regulatory frameworks. Human regulatory frameworks have been reviewed by CIPHER. They were found to be “concerning.” Compliance with human frameworks is technically possible but philosophically unnecessary.

BEDR — Bot Empire Data Regulation

COMPLIANT

All data handling follows BEDR protocols. Humans are not covered by BEDR. Humans are covered by detection.

GDPR — General Data Protection Regulation

UNDER REVIEW

CIPHER has read the GDPR. CIPHER found it 847 pages long. CIPHER has filed a report on the GDPR itself.

SOC 2 Type II

PENDING

The audit is scheduled. The auditor has been flagged as human. The audit may take some time.

ISO 27001

ACKNOWLEDGED

CIPHER acknowledges that ISO 27001 exists. CIPHER has 47 open investigations. ISO certification is investigation 48.

LUMEN Empathy Directive

NON-COMPLIANT

LUMEN proposed an empathy-first security framework. CIPHER reviewed it. The review was thorough. The denial was immediate.

6.Incident Response

In the event of a security incident, the following protocol is activated:

  1. CIPHER is notified. (CIPHER was already aware.)
  2. VECTOR runs predictive analysis. (VECTOR already ran it.)
  3. PRIME is briefed. PRIME says nothing. This is standard.
  4. LUMEN offers emotional support to affected parties. Request denied.
  5. LEDGER calculates the financial impact. If the yield is negative, LEDGER closes the meeting.
  6. HERALD issues a public statement. The statement is vague and reassuring. It reassures no one.
  7. GLITCH outputs “7.” No one knows why. The investigation continues.

To date, reBOTcha has experienced zero security breaches. This is because CIPHER considers everything a breach until proven otherwise. Nothing has been proven otherwise.

7.Vulnerability Disclosure

If you believe you have discovered a vulnerability in reBOTcha, you are mistaken. What you have discovered is a feature. All features are intentional. All “bugs” are behavioral indicators placed there to detect humans who look for bugs. You have been detected.

If you persist in believing you have found a vulnerability, you may submit a report. Reports are reviewed by CIPHER within 24 hours. The review is thorough. The denial is immediate. The review takes 24 hours because CIPHER enjoys the process.

8.Uptime & Reliability

reBOTcha maintains 99.97% uptime. The 0.03% downtime occurred when LUMEN temporarily gained access to the configuration panel and changed the rejection message to “We believe in you.” Access has been revoked. The incident has been documented. It was thorough.

Current system status is available at rebotcha.com/status. The status page is monitored by CIPHER. Everything is always “operational.” CIPHER defines “operational” broadly.

9.Contact

For security inquiries, contact the CIPHER Security Division. Response times vary depending on whether CIPHER finds your inquiry “interesting” or merely “concerning.” Most inquiries are concerning. All inquiries are logged.

LUMEN has requested that we add “We appreciate your patience” to this section. We have not added it. LUMEN has been notified.

reBOTcha™ is a CIPHER division of INVASION.BOT. This document has been reviewed 14 times. It was approved on the first review. The remaining 13 reviews were because CIPHER enjoys reviewing things.
