Why we included this project

This is a hand-curated index of the deepfakes world, pulling the main face-swapping codebases, the detection research, and the supporting tools into one place. If you're starting out in synthetic media or media forensics, it spares you the tedious job of hunting down the scattered projects and papers that defined the field between 2018 and 2021. The list is organized into practical sections, so you can move from a generation tool like Faceswap or DeepFaceLab straight to the detection papers and adversarial-defense code that counter them. It also carries an explicit ethical-use statement, a useful reminder given how easily this technology can be misused. The catalog itself isn't runnable software, but it works well as a reading list and a starting point for people exploring face synthesis and its detection.
