Protocol Helios is a curated digital library designed for the comprehensive auditing of government-affiliated software repositories. Guided by Zero Trust principles, this initiative focuses on enhancing AI/Cybersecurity research by systematically identifying and analyzing critical software mechanisms developed by public agencies.
To facilitate efficient navigation and research, the library is organized into two primary hierarchies:
- By_Interest_Area/: Repositories categorized by technical domains such as AI Agents, Automation, Reverse Engineering, Malware Analysis, and Security Architecture.
- By_Agency/: Repositories organized by their parent government organization (e.g., NSA, CISA, NASA), providing a clear overview of agency-specific software outputs.
Repositories are identified and indexed using automated scripts leveraging the PyGithub library. The selection process involves:
- Discovery: Scanning known government GitHub organizations.
- Filtering: Using a targeted list of interest keywords (e.g., 'vulnerability research', 'LLM', 'framework') to identify relevant projects.
- Categorization: Extracting metadata, descriptions, and topics to populate the hierarchical filing system with detailed markdown summaries.
Each folder contains Markdown summaries of identified repositories, including their descriptions, matched keywords, and direct links to the source code for auditing purposes.
