Proof of Usefulness Score

GUN101 proposes an ambitious security utility for PDFs, but makes technically questionable claims about preventing access even with a compromised password. It is an extremely early-stage Python library with zero verified active users, no revenue, and missing core metrics. The submission lacks sufficient evidence of traction, resulting in a minimal PoU score indicative of a hobbyist project.

Project Details

Description
GUN101 is a python library which uses 5 layer security to encrypt you data. The main idea for making this was "what is your document and the password, both are compromised. Why not make a security protocol which stops hackers from accessing the pdf even if they have the password".
Audience Reach
SInce its a python library, the whole world can use this simultaneously.
Target Users
Its for people who want the highest security for their documents, containing sensitive data.
