Company Handbook
How DXN1 Studios actually operates. The full manual: mission, people, products, rules, money, and how to work with us.
0 · What this is
This handbook is the operating manual for DXN1 Studios. It's written for partners, contributors, testers, users, and anyone who wants to work with us. It's public on purpose: you should know exactly who you're dealing with. It's short because the studio is small — one person — and we'd rather show you the real state of things than a corporate fairy tale.
1 · Mission
Serious security discipline and a product that punches way above its weight, built by one stubborn builder. Three words rule everything: build, ship, protect.

3 · Who is DXN1 (the founder)
- Name
- Dxn1 (Dani)
- Age
- 16
- Setup
- A Linux PC now; the entire back catalogue was built on Termux on Android, fully remote.
- Personality
- Strong introvert with a rich online life. Never short of people to build with.
Background
Got into security young, took some wrong turns early, and turned fully defensive — the kind of person who'll say no, flatly, when asked to build something that crosses the line. The dark-web tooling era is closed; it is not coming back. Burned out about seven times chasing the solo-founder grind, took a leave once when it got bad, and just keeps going anyway — money tight, no real monetization, living on community support and stubbornness.
When the work stops
The music starts — heavy hours on YouTube Music: doomerwave, old classics like Марк Бернес, hardtekk, hardstyle, BRZ. Most-played track: «Портреты». Loves cats (doesn't have one yet — life's too chaotic). His book: Concrete & Doomerwave.

5 · Projects that shaped the studio
Behind the flagship work is a trail of projects that shaped the studio: a community RPG bot with a sprawling SQLite schema, BUGHUNTER-AI, a LoRA image API secured with Ed25519, a Kotlin chat app, and more. All under one banner — a cyan-to-violet gradient wordmark that says SECURITY DEVELOPMENT.
6 · House rules (non-negotiable)
- Intellectual property: Sonderr is MIT — free for everyone, forever. Other studio work: personal use is free; corporate use requires a written license. Contact: +31 6 39420421 / 06-3942-0421.
- No redistribution: no reselling, bundling, or claiming our work as your own without written permission.
- Community standards: 16+ spaces, no drama, no venting. This is a building community, not a support group.
- Payments: we don't take payments right now — nothing is for sale. If that ever changes, it runs only through the official email addresses or a DM to @dxn1studios. Anyone else requesting money is a scam.
- No illegal work: no exploit-for-hire, no credential theft, no unauthorized access, no dark-web anything. Ever.
- Respect: treat everyone with respect. Harassment, discrimination, and hate speech result in immediate action.
7 · Working with us
Contributors and partners get clear scope, credit, and respect. Ways to work together:
- Sonderr — free and open source; the best support is a GitHub star. Details →
- Collaborations — open-source collabs are welcome; promo deals are not our thing. What we do and don't →
- Partnerships — what counts and what never will. Details →
- Join the team — testers, contributors, researchers. Unpaid (for now). Details →
8 · Legal & compliance at a glance
- Copyright: © 2025–2026 DXN1 Studios — all rights reserved (Sonderr itself is MIT).
- Age: community spaces are 16+. Sonderr is a developer tool, not directed at children.
- Data: zero collection, zero selling. There is nothing to retain, breach, or hand over. See Privacy →
- Sales: none. No payments in either direction right now.
9 · Contact
Email is the front door — dxn1.0day@gmail.com / danipostma123@gmail.com. Phone/WhatsApp +31 6 39420421 (legal/corporate).
10 · The studio's day-to-day
Everything runs lean and remote. That shapes how we work:
- Deploys are deliberate. Changes are batched and shipped in one go — fewer, bigger, tested updates.
- Communication is async-first. Email is the office. Say it in writing; screenshots when visual.
- Quality over speed, mostly. We move fast, but security and safety fixes never wait.
- Everything is documented. If it's not in the docs, it didn't happen.
11 · Money & monetization
Honest numbers: the studio is money-tight and community-supported. Revenue today: zero. No ads, no investors, no data selling, no crypto schemes, no paywalls — and we intend to keep it that way. We don't pay (yet): contributors get named credit, not invoices. If real money ever shows up, it goes back into hosting, tooling, and the studio's ability to keep building.
12 · Former DarkWebScraper Pro collection — responsibility rules (historical)
This category is retired and closed — the studio no longer does dark-web related work at all. Kept for the record:
- Access was granted by the studio, never open download.
- Authorized security research and law-enforcement cooperation only.
- Researchers complied with target-site ToS and local law.
- Violations got you removed and, where law required, reported.
13 · Community values
- Build, ship, protect. The three-word mission.
- 16+ spaces. Not negotiable.
- No drama. Building, not a therapy room.
- Respect the rules. Especially child safety — it's the hill we die on.
- Credit where due. Contributors get named; testers get thanked in the changelog.
14 · The founder's book — Concrete & Doomerwave
The studio's story, in the founder's own words: grey skies, concrete, saving for a ticket, the doomerwave years, and building something real from almost nothing. It's a public repo and a work in progress — like everything else here.
15 · One-page summary of who we are
DXN1 Studios is a one-person studio from the Netherlands: cybersecurity development, security research & R&D, a lean remote operation, and a stubborn refusal to stop building. One product — Sonderr — plus a music side channel and a public archive of everything that came before. We build in the open, we don't collect or sell data, we don't do crypto schemes or promo deals, we don't do anything illegal, and we protect the people who use what we make.
