ELI CIPHER — Portfolio

Satellite communications & offensive space cybersecurity portfolio. Single-file vanilla HTML/CSS/JS — no build step, $0 stack.

Stack

Layer	Tool
3D hero	Three.js (CDN) — dot-sphere Earth, 3 orbiting satellites, RF beams, starfield
Animation	GSAP + ScrollTrigger (CDN) — boot wipe, scroll reveals, pinned attack chain
Icons	Lucide (CDN) + inline SVGs for brand icons (removed from Lucide)
Fonts	Google Fonts — Space Grotesk / JetBrains Mono
Extras	Live ISS position (api.wheretheiss.at, no key) · Canvas RF spectrum · command palette

Features

• Boot sequence loader → wipes into hero
• Clickable satellites — each opens a project "payload manifest"
• sudo hack easter egg (type it anywhere)
• Footer command palette: help, whoami, projects, skills, contact, flag, clear
• Pinned scroll "attack chain": Recon → Signal Acquisition → Protocol Analysis → Exploitation → Intercept & Flag
• Light/dark theme toggle (persisted)
• Custom crosshair cursor (desktop only), RF spectrum widget, live ISS telemetry
• prefers-reduced-motion + mobile fallbacks (no pin, paused render loops offscreen)

Maintenance notes

• Brand social icons are inline SVGs (Lucide dropped brand icons — do not re-add via data-lucide)
• data-lucide="code-xml" (renamed from code-2 in newer Lucide)
• Render loops pause when offscreen/tab hidden; canvases render one static frame under reduced motion
• Update the two wu-soon writeup cards (href="#") when the SATCOM posts go live
