Starmaze Method
The “Starmaze Method” is a category of hacking techniques that are used to identify structural vulnerabilities in a digital environment. The Starmaze Method clones a system and converts it into an n-dimensional shape based on its complexity, such as a tesseract or hyper-sphere. This allows the hacker to visualize the system as a virtual reality construct that can be magnified and manipulated. The construct is usually referred to as the “maze.”
Once the maze has been created, the hacker may introduce various “starlights”: decryption programs that have been adapted for the Method. Once activated, the Starmaze Method simulates several thousands of penetration attacks on the target system, represented by colored light that “shines” through different paths in the maze. The hacker then carefully examines the maze to determine if any of the light emerges from the maze, which will signal a potential vulnerability. Because the “maze” is often three-, four-, or even six-dimensional, this stage can be difficult and time-consuming.
One of the advantages of the Starmaze Method is that cloning a target system allows the hacker to probe its defenses without triggering any alarms. Another is that the Method is efficient at finding structural rather than specific weaknesses, such as unsecured points of entry or sections of a system that inadvertently grant access to other sections. In these ways, the Starmaze Method is best suited for macro-level planning of future, more focused hacks.
