shamir‑lab

Laboratory environment for research, cracking experiments, fuzzing workflows, and edge‑case analysis related to Shamir’s Secret Sharing (SSS). This repository consolidates and unifies two previous research labs:

• Shamir-Cracker-Lab

• shamir_cracker_lab

The goal is to provide a single, coherent workspace for experimentation, algorithmic exploration, forensic workflows, and validation of threshold‑based secret‑sharing schemes.

---

🔍 Purpose and Scope

The repository serves as a sandbox for:

• analyzing the behavior of Shamir’s Secret Sharing under adversarial conditions

• exploring brute‑force and near‑threshold cracking strategies

• generating synthetic shares and edge‑case datasets

• building fuzzing harnesses for robustness testing

• performing forensic reconstruction and evidence collection

• validating assumptions used in higher‑level cryptographic systems

It is intentionally experimental and research‑oriented.

🧪 Core Components

Cracking & Analysis Tools

• analyzer.py — share inspection, threshold analysis, entropy checks

• brute-force.py — brute‑force reconstruction attempts for research purposes

• generator.py — synthetic share generation for fuzzing and testing

• utils.py — helper functions used across experiments

Forensic Deliverables

Contains structured materials for documenting experiments, including:

• evidence snapshots

• logs

• forensic reports

• metadata and chain‑of‑custody notes

---

🚀 Usage Overview

Generate test shares

bash
python src/generator.py

Run brute‑force experiments

bash
python src/brute-force.py

Analyze share sets

bash
python src/analyzer.py

The tools are intentionally modular so they can be combined into pipelines or fuzzing harnesses.
