BY DESIGN
A COMMON STARTING POINT

Understand deeply. Share what helps. Make things safer.

01 / The direction

Useful work.
Shared freely.

We’re laying the groundwork for an independent, open source security research project. Here’s where we want to put our curiosity to work.

01

Security research

Investigate how systems fail, document what we learn, and give others enough detail to understand and reproduce the work.

Questions worth asking
02

Open source tools

Build small, practical tools that people can inspect, adapt, and improve. Publish the source alongside clear explanations.

Made to be built upon
03

Responsible discovery

Explore authorized bug bounty programs and coordinated disclosure. Work with maintainers toward fixes, then share what can safely be shared.

Care before credit

02 / How we want to work

More eyes.
Better questions.

Cooperation is a practice: share the method, invite a second look, and give people credit for the work they do.

  1. [ 01 ]

    Leave a trail others can follow.

    Explain the method, publish useful artifacts, and be honest about what’s still uncertain.

  2. [ 02 ]

    Make room for another perspective.

    Good research gets stronger through thoughtful review. Questions, corrections, and documentation all count.

  3. [ 03 ]

    Put people before the finding.

    Respect scope, protect sensitive information, and coordinate disclosure with the people who can fix the problem.

03 / A name with a history

An old idea.
A new beginning.

Vijilon began as a college startup with an ambition to make private messaging easier.

The app never made it, and the original company came to an end. The name—and the curiosity behind it—stayed.

This new chapter brings that curiosity to open security research. The starting point is modest: useful projects, shared learning, and a cooperative way of working.

An independent project taking shape. Open source first.

There’s room at the workbench.

Curiosity is a good
place to start.
