Lucky Spin: Godly Programming-Chapter 49: Creating GVS 2

So he started.

The screen came to life, raw terminal lines flowing without any flashy logos. And his custom boot sequence began silently.

First, the system mounted a temporary file system directly into RAM. Then, it copied the entire base operating system into that volatile memory space.

An overlay was layered on top, making everything look and act like a normal, writable system.

But in truth, every file, every change, lived only in memory. Nothing touched the actual hard drive.

As the system switched to the new environment, EIDOLUX was fully awakened and running entirely in RAM, untraceable, and designed to disappear without a trace the moment it shut down.

But it still had to be designed to disappear after shutdown, so he continued.

As EIDOLUX ran silently in the background, Jeff turned his attention to the final layer of protection, which is the exit.

Booting into RAM was only half the battle. If anything remained after shutdown, like cached logs, memory dumps, or frozen VM states, it could all be traced back to him.

That single mistake would be enough to expose him. So he crafted the shutdown script by hand, line by line, words by words, and brick by brick.

First, it flushed every sector of RAM, overwriting it with randomized patterns.

Then, it scoured every temporary cache, script trace, and execution log from memory.

If any hidden virtual machine was still running in the background, it was force-terminated instantly with no questions asked.

Finally, just before the system’s last breath, it scrambled its own fingerprint changing the MAC address, motherboard ID, and system UUID into randomized junk that pointed nowhere.

Without it, EIDOLUX might leave behind invisible footprints and traces that forensic software or surveillance tools could follow.

But with the shutdown sequence in place, it guaranteed one thing.

When EIDOLUX shut down, it never existed. Which sound pretty cool right?

So, before Jeff could let EIDOLUX roam freely, there was one more ghost layer to apply, which he called identity masking.

Any system, no matter how secure, had fingerprints. Like MAC addresses, BIOS signatures, UUIDs all silent identifiers used by networks, ISPs, and forensic trackers to link sessions, devices, and even hardware.

So, Jeff built a module inside EIDOLUX that rewrote its identity every time it booted.

New MAC addresses, randomized system UUIDs, spoofed BIOS data, everything was reshaped at launch, making each session appear as a brand new, untraceable machine.

The MAC address changed to a new randomized hex string, untraceable and never reused.

The BIOS ID and motherboard serial became synthetic values stitched together from pieces of public leaks and unregistered hardware patterns.

Even the OS version string was altered, tricking anyone watching into thinking they were seeing a completely different system.

He renamed the hostname to a meaningless alphanumeric string, and rerouted all traffic through a rotating proxy layer, making it appear as if EIDOLUX was operating out of another country sometimes even another continent.

Without this, he knew network tools could still piece together a pattern. With it, every fingerprint EIDOLUX left behind belonged to someone else.

EIDOLUX was close to completion, but Jeff wasn’t reckless.

PersonalForge, as powerful as it was, needed its own prison. One mistake, one unexpected request, one API ping to the wrong endpoint, and his entire system could be exposed.

So, he created a sealed container inside EIDOLUX, a sandboxed folder completely isolated from everything else.

No outside process could access it. No internal script could leak from it. It was a vault within a ghost.

PersonalForge lived there, its scripts, models, and identity data locked in a walled environment, disconnected from the system’s core.

Then Jeff wrote strict firewall rules. No outbound connections were allowed unless they passed through his private proxy layer.

Any unexpected traffic, any attempt to call home, was blocked, logged, and killed instantly.

He even built a script that monitored the sandbox in real time.

If PersonalForge ever tried to escape its limits or access unauthorized files, EIDOLUX would wipe it immediately, no questions asked.

Next is another defense which is user authentication, Jeff knew that even the perfect ghost needed a gatekeeper.

EIDOLUX was already untraceable, self-erasing, and unidentifiable, but what if someone somehow got access to the bootable ISO?

What if it was stolen, cloned, or mounted by someone right?

An ISO is a complete digital image of a bootable system or disk. It’s like a snapshot of the entire operating system the files, structure, and boot setup all packed into a single file.

If someone steals or clones that ISO, they could study EIDOLUX, reverse-engineer his tools, or even try to run it themselves.

That’s why even the ISO itself had to be protected.

That’s why he decided to add User Authentication, not out of necessity, but out of absolute confidence.

Since being prepared is better than not being prepared.

What he envisioned was that the boot interface wouldn’t be a menu, it would be a deception.

When someone powered on EIDOLUX, all they would see was a flickering, corrupted BIOS screen.

Lines of glitching text, false memory errors, mock CPU faults, everything designed to make it look broken beyond repair.

To the untrained eye, it looked broken and utterly useless.

But for Jeff, the real interface waited behind a hidden key that is triggered by a precise keystroke pattern and a specific time window.

Only he knew the rhythm. Only he could open the gate.

And that phrase would be something no machine could guess and no human could replicate.

Without it, the system wouldn’t just deny access, it would self-destruct, overwrite the RAM boot, and erase itself from memory completely.

So he got to work on the code.

When the system boots, it displays a fake corrupted BIOS screen to make it look broken like throwing random errors like ’Memory test failed’ or ’Device mismatch’

Behind the scenes, a hidden listener waits silently for Jeff to type a specific phrase, that is his unique keystroke pattern.

Only then will the real system reveal itself.

Jeff’s authentication wasn’t about what he typed, it was about how he typed it.

The system didn’t care if the phrase was ’access granted’ or ’hello world.’

What mattered was the unique rhythm of his fingers. The timing between each keystroke, the subtle pressure variations detected by his custom keyboard’s sensor grid, the way he always paused slightly on the third key, or how he hit backspace twice in quick succession when fixing a typo these weren’t just habits.

They were his fingerprint in motion. His digital signature. No one else could mimic it, not perfectly within the narrow 3-second window the system allowed.

If he typed it too early or too late, it failed silently.

If the pattern didn’t match exactly, the system reset the bootloader and wiped the RAM instantly.

With that in place, he moved on to encryption.

He knew that even the perfect ghost could be captured if someone got hold of its core, the ISO, the bootable image, the raw data.

So he didn’t just encrypt EIDOLUX. He buried it under layers of locks, word by word, brick by brick.

The entire OS was compressed into a custom ISO and hidden within a secure partition on Jeff’s machine, completely invisible without the proper access.

Without the right keys, even advanced forensic tools couldn’t detect it, let alone mount it.

He wrapped it in military-grade encryption as the outer layer, but that was only the first line of defense.

Inside were encrypted volumes, each unlocked by a different condition.

A time-based key synced to his local system clock. A one-time passphrase that expired the moment it was used. And finally, a silent trapdoor that locked the entire system if too many failed attempts were made.

To anyone else, it was just an empty drive with no signs of activity. But to Jeff, it was the sealed vault for the world’s most untraceable OS.

Still, even with full encryption, RAM-only execution, and authentication through muscle memory, Jeff knew someone might still see EIDOLUX in action.

So, he prepared one last safeguard. And that is giving it a mask.

When the system booted, the interface revealed nothing. No desktop, no terminal prompt, just a blank screen mimicking a corrupted GRUB shell.

It blinked erratically, spat out error codes, and flashed messages like ’Filesystem mismatch’ or ’Boot loop detected.’

To anyone else, it looked broken and abandoned. Something no sane hacker would waste time investigating.

But hidden beneath that illusion was a trapdoor, a special flag waiting to be triggered. Not those freaking green flag or red flag it’s so cringe by the way, but moving on.

That special flag was something only Jeff knew how to trigger, a secret key combo, a subtle mouse movement pattern, and a series of fake commands that formed a hidden passphrase.

Once activated, the mask vanished. The real UI emerged, fully loaded, crisp, and ready for use.

With that final layer, Jeff ensured that even if someone managed to boot into the system, they still wouldn’t know EIDOLUX existed at all.

He took a deep breath as he glanced at the time 6:59 pm.

Looking back at the project he had locked down tighter than most governments, he let out a quiet chuckle.

He wasn’t paranoid, he just prepared for the worst.

Jeff knew that encryption alone wasn’t security. Hiding something wasn’t the same as erasing it. And the moment someone sees your tool, it’s no longer invisible, it’s vulnerable.

Every layer he added like RAM-only execution, fingerprint spoofing, keystroke authentication, auto-wipe shutdown, and the fake shell disguise, served one purpose.

To make EIDOLUX not just hidden, but untouchable.

That was to ensure no one could access EIDOLUX, use it, analyze it, or even recognize what it was that’s unless he allowed it.

Because he wasn’t just protecting files. He was protecting code that could upend governments, generate untraceable identities, and bypass every verification system known to man.

So extreme measures weren’t optional, they were necessary. As one minute passed, a soft ding echoed from the system.
