Thank you for placing this PR. Your project certainly looks like something that could belong in the list. You have some truly great features going on there!

However - and this was something I planned for a longer time already.. your PR just made me act now - as you know "Security" is a category of its own, a vast field of IT. It requires too much expert knowledge to determine if some project helps or hurts security. Knowledge I do not possess. Your project is still young and may need to be 'hardened' still, but I cannot judge that.

Also in the past projects have been suggested where it was unclear if they should fit 'humanetech' as they could be used both to help or harm depending on the operator.

This all taken into account I've decided to no longer collect these entries directly on this, but instead cross-reference to awesome-security, which is well-maintained and, of course, specialized for the purpose. See #35

I hope you understand my decision.
