+Yes, I am the copyright holder.

+
+**Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.**
+
+I am the [private] copyright owner and [private] [private] of the software application that has been copied and republished without [private] permission. I have not authorized the user rhcp011235 or any third party to use, reproduce, or distribute [private] source code.
+
+**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed.**
+
+My original work is a Windows-based software utility named DevM8 CFG Extractor, which [private] developed entirely from scratch. The application provides functionality to boot Apple iOS devices into DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode and perform an erase operation. This allows users who have forgotten their passcode to erase their device and regain access without being forced to download and flash a new iOS version—enabling them to stay on the same iOS version after the erase process. The tool also facilitates signing in to iCloud on the erased device.
+
+The source code, including the application logic, file structure, class names, method implementations, user interface elements, workflow sequences, and unique error-handling routines, was entirely authored by me. The infringing repository 'Windows_PurpleMode_A12-CFG' contains my proprietary code with only superficial renaming. Specific matching elements include:  
+- The class name `MainForm` and the UI color scheme using `Color.FromArgb(157, 29, 195)` (purple) which [private] originally defined.  
+- The method names `PurpleAutoAsync()`, `ExtractSyscfgAsync()`, and `EraseAutoAsync()` which follow [private] original naming convention and logic flow.  
+- The unique error-handling routine using `RunOperationAsync()` with the same parameter structure and logging pattern [private] authored.
+
+I hold the exclusive copyright to this code and have not granted any license for its use.
+
+**If the original work referenced above is available online, please provide a URL.**
+
+My copyrighted work is proprietary source code [private] developed privately and have not published online.
