Security

Internalize Hops​

  • Each Hops component is internalized, so the source code is hidden from the end user and missing file issues are prevented.

Kill Switch​

  • Each Hops component includes a validation gate that checks the machine’s MAC address to ensure authorized use, along with an expiration mechanism to prevent outdated code execution.
