Security Concerns

FooocusPlus started with the SimpleSDXL2 fork of Fooocus. I was happy with Simple until my colleague, Mr. Redmond, discovered a lot of insecure code. On top of that, the Simple developer released a new version that required you to give out your mobile number to a source in China before you could use features such as Flux.

For example, SimpleSDXL2 collected the following information:

• Local IP Address
• Public IP address
• MAC address (unique to each network/WiFi card)
• Hard drive partition UUID
• GPU memory

The First Goal of FooocusPlus

So one of the primary goals of FooocusPlus was not only to close all those security holes, but raise the security level by closing some possible threats that were present in the original Fooocus.

In my career, network abilities were standard in most of our systems. However, we had very strong protection from outside and inside threats, the type of protection levels that are typically not available to or affordable by a typical Fooocus user.

Nonetheless, there are many threats from outside our local computers, whether you are protected from them or not. Due to the randomness of hacker threats, the argument that "Nobody would bother with me, I'm a nobody", is not a valid one.

An Effort to Increase Personal Security

While FooocusPlus is not really a high security program, at least we have made an effort to somewhat reduce the threat level.

So with my apologies, I must say that FooocusPlus is not and never will be a networking product.
