PERCEIVE is a project incubator inspired by Apache Incubator and Stack Exchange's Area 51. It serves as a staging zone repository for the project early ideas, most of which done in either Python or R Notebooks by one of the project's contributors. All projects share the common goal to support the identification of software vulnerabilities in the "wild," and function as different components of a single system to achieve this goal.
