The website has a broken github link. Repo is here https://github.com/DO-SAY-GO/ghostbox-releases but it's only a README.md with binary releases. No public source code?

The readme says it’s proprietary code that’s free to use during a “preview”.
Odd to be so tied to GitHub for proprietary code.
GitHub is one of the most readily accessible sources of parasitic compute resources.
https://github.com/crisdosaygo/ghostbox-home-reveal This looks more promising?
Yeah, I think that's what the program creates in your github account. I see the source to those files embedded in the executable. (I'm not running the executable, but I downloaded the linux one to my mac to take a look inside.)
Yeah this seems pretty sketch.. I would not run that binary.
I don't believe in releasing source anymore after years of doing it. It's closed source, Rust binary, proprietary but free software offered as a utility. It's the same patterns as used by coding agents and many other CLI tools.
