# NET.E: Crystal Gems
### The Ultimate Low-Quality File Server (That shouldn't work, yet it is.)
NET.E is an experimental self-hosted platform that bundles a file manager, notes,
and a handful of tiny internet utilities — all written *entirely from scratch*
in pure PHP.
No frameworks. No Composer. No CDN. No vendor folder.
Just raw PHP, HTML/CSS, and less than 120 lines of JavaScript that hold everything together with duct tape.

Main Landing
My Files — manage your uploaded and created files
Memory Notes — quick notes with 6 color options
## ✨ Features
### 📁 File Manager (My Files)
- Upload files (1 file per upload, max 1GB)
- View, download, rename, and move files
- Folder system with recursion-safe move logic
→ prevents dropping a folder into its own descendants (anti–time paradox system)
- Internal file sharing
- Integrity check (Tamper Shield)
- Delete files & folders permanently — no trash bin (we respect commitment)
- Live text file content editable so you can write your ultimate sit-con in here. (Only save if content size is lower than 50MB, If it's larger than that then it's the DB dump, not a ordinary text file.)
- Quick access sidebar for recently viewed files — session-based, stores up to 10 unique recently accessed files (Most useless feature you'll ever need.)
### 📝 Memory Notes
- Create notes instantly
- Auto-save when you stop typing
- 6 colors to choose from
- Public note mode
- Delete note with the small trash bin icon that quietly judges your life choices
### 🔧 Small Utility Pack
Fun little built-ins:
- Multi-search gateway
- Mini iframe browser
- Quick hardcoded links
- YouTube “no-cookie” viewer
- Tiny drawing canvas for masterpieces nobody asked for
- D.U.M.B "AI" with existential crisis to anwser your daily life advice
### ⚙️ User Preferences
- Change background
- Change password

## 🛠️ Tech Stack (if you squint)
- Apache 2.4+
- PHP 8+
- MySQL 8+
- HTML + CSS (global + inline + local, the holy trinity)
- JavaScript (minimalistic by fear, not by design)
- MVC-ish structure:
- **M** = My Logic
- **V** = Very Homemade
- **C** = Continue At Your Own Risk

## 📦 Installation (so simple that you might think this is a joke)
### 0. Pre Setup
Get yourself Apache + PHP + MySQL stack. You can get XAMPP or Laragon, Then put whole folder inside www, htdocs.
### 1. Database Setup
Create a database and import the schema provided in `Backup/`.
It's already have Admin user inside.
### 2. Create `config.ini` (required)
Place in:
`Element/Database/Database_Config/config.ini`
config.ini for example
```
[section]
servername = 127.0.0.1
dbname = your_db << It's your DB name when import the DB.
username = root
pass = null << if you don't have password
```
### 3. Set Apache/PHP Hardening (optional but recommended)
Apache
```
ServerTokens Prod
ServerSignature Off
```
PHP
```
expose_php = Off
```
### 4. Access As Admin (It's done!)
To find the admin login page you need to access to `login_admin.php` in the project root
and verify your key file here. The default key can be find in the Extra folder. Changing default admin key is recommended.
### 5. Additional Setup
Please refer to [note](https://github.com/PHUC-GIT/Project_NETE/blob/main/note.md) in this repo if you want to learn how to manage user and extra configure.

## 📌 Known Limitations (a.k.a design choices)
- Admin management requires manual DB update hash value.
- Desktop-focused UI (mobile users are warriors, they’ll figure it out)
- No multi-upload (upload archives instead)
- Folder and file deletion is permanent (we don’t do regrets here)

## 🔒 Security Audit
Active scan with OWASP ZAP 2.17.0 using `ATTACK mode` and authenticated attack base
---
## 📜 License
MIT — meaning you can use, modify, and fork NET.E freely.
If something explodes, corrupts, disappears, or becomes self-aware,
that’s on you (it works on my machine™).
---
## 🧩 Why This Exists
Because building things from scratch is fun.
Because frameworks update weekly and patch CVEs monthly.
Because I like knowing every screw, wire, and duct tape inside my system.
