Red Dragon Web Engine · .:: RedDragonElite ::.
A free, open-source PHP web engine that actually respects your intelligence.
No WordPress. No Laravel overhead. No jQuery. No Bootstrap. No Materialize.
Just pure PHP, pure speed, pure code — yours to own.

RDWE is a PHP 8.5.4+ web engine built from scratch on IIS + MariaDB with zero external framework dependencies.
Drop in a module folder. Open a browser. Done. No registration. No config files. No restarts.
It's simultaneously a CMS, a developer framework, and a community platform — all in one zero-bloat stack.

- Auto-Discovery Module System — create
Core/Classes/MyModule/UI/index.phpand it's live. Zero config. - PSR-4 Autoloader — drop a class in the right folder, it loads itself
- Singleton PDO Database Layer — one connection per request, shared across all modules
- Firewall with Admin Toggles — CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS, rate limiting, IP blocking — all toggleable at runtime
- RDUI Design System — terminal aesthetic, monospace-only, red/green/black — consistent across every page
- Elder Futhark Error Pages — 403 (police tape), 404 (matrix rain), 500 (crash console + fire) — because style matters
- Argon2ID + AES-256-GCM Auth — OWASP 2024 compliant, session fingerprinting, dual rate limiting
- Nostr Integration — native NIP-07 signer Chrome extension + Nostr Terminal built-in
- IIS-Native — built for Windows Server / IIS + PHP 8.4 + MariaDB, not Apache-ported
- BFS v6.66 License — free forever, always
| Layer | Tech |
|---|---|
| Backend | PHP 8.5.4+ |
| Database | MariaDB (PDO, no ORM) |
| Web Server | IIS (Microsoft) |
| Frontend | Vanilla JS + RDUI.css (no frameworks) |
| Auth | Argon2ID · AES-256-GCM · CSRF · Session fingerprinting |
| Icons | Lucide.js (SVG, no CDN dependency) |
| Fonts | Monospace only — Consolas / Monaco / Courier New |
| License | BFS v6.66 |
Not in this stack: jQuery · Bootstrap · Materialize · Laravel · Symfony · Composer · npm · webpack · React · anything else you don't need.
Every module lives in Core/Classes/ModuleName/ and gets auto-routed:
Core/Classes/MyModule/
├── MyModule.php ← extends Database
├── MyModuleAPI.php ← API dispatcher
├── navdock.php ← optional admin dock entry
└── UI/
├── index.php → /MyModule
├── admin.php → /MyModule/Admin (God-only)
└── api.php → /MyModule/API/{action}
No route registration. No config files. No restart required.
URLRewriter scans Core/Classes/ on every request and auto-discovers any folder with a UI/ subfolder.
# 1. Clone
git clone https://github.com/RedDragonElite/rdwe.git
# 2. Point IIS to the document root
# 3. Copy Defines.php.example → Defines.php and fill in your DB credentials
# 4. Copy web.config.example → web.config
# 5. Open browser → /SignUp → create your God account
# 6. Done.PHP 8.4+ required. IIS with URL Rewrite module required. MariaDB/MySQL required.
RDWE ships with a dedicated NIP-07 Chrome Extension — the RDWE Nostr Signer.
window.nostr.getPublicKey() → your hex pubkey
window.nostr.signEvent(event) → signed event (Schnorr)
window.nostr.nip04.encrypt(...) → AES-256-CBC ECDH
window.nostr.nip44.encrypt(...) → ChaCha20 + HMAC-SHA256
window.nostr.getRelays() → your relay map
- Zero external dependencies
- Private key never leaves the extension
- Per-site permission system
- Full NIP-07 · NIP-04 · NIP-44 support
- BIP-340 Schnorr signing
- Compatible with Primal, Iris, Snort, Coracle, Nostrudel, Zap.stream
The RDWE Nostr Terminal (built into the engine) demonstrates the full Nostr integration stack.
Built-in, zero config:
- ✅ Argon2ID password hashing (OWASP 2024)
- ✅ AES-256-GCM encryption with AAD
- ✅ Session fingerprinting (hijacking protection)
- ✅ Dual rate limiting: IP-based + account-based
- ✅ Account lockout after failed attempts
- ✅ CSRF double-submit cookie pattern
- ✅ Firewall with runtime-toggleable CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS
- ✅ Blocked IP list with auto-expiry
- ✅ Security event logging (DB + file)
- ✅ IIS — PHP sets all security headers dynamically (no duplicate header conflicts)
