Zero Breach — local, read-only scanner that checks a computer for indicators of the AdFection / Candiru ad-delivered spyware campaign. No network, no admin, no dependencies.

Zero Breach is a local, read-only Python scanner that checks a computer for indicators of the AdFection / Candiru ad-delivered spyware campaign documented by The Citizen Lab. It inspects browser history, cookies, caches, file hashes, auto-start entries, and DNS records for published indicators of compromise, grades the strength of each match, and clearly reports what it could not check — without any network access, admin rights, or dependencies.

Why now: It gained attention on GitHub's trending list alongside the October 2026 Citizen Lab disclosure of Discover-Tech's Controlium platform delivering Candiru spyware via real-time ad bidding, and a recent v0.1.8 release fixed version reporting and hardened network-path handling.

Who it is for: Security responders, journalists, activists, and technically capable individuals who want to check their own devices for traces of this spyware campaign without shipping data anywhere.
