    pyWhat

    pyWhat

    Identify emails, IP addresses, and more

    pyWhat is a Python-based identification tool designed to figure out “what” a piece of text or file content represents, especially in security and OSINT workflows. Given inputs such as hex strings, URLs, email addresses, IP addresses, credit card numbers, cryptocurrency wallets, or entire .pcap capture files, it scans for structured patterns and tells you what it finds. The tool is recursive: it can traverse files and directories to extract meaningful entities, which is useful when analyzing malware samples, network captures, or code repositories at scale. It offers powerful filters called “tags” and distributions that let you narrow results to specific categories like bug bounties, cryptocurrencies, or AWS-related artifacts. For automation and integration, pyWhat provides a CLI with options for rarity filtering, sorting, and JSON export, as well as an API that can be imported into other Python programs.

    SafeLine

    SafeLine

    Serve as a reverse proxy to protect your web services from attacks

    SafeLine is a self-hosted WAF(Web Application Firewall) to protect your web apps from attacks and exploits. A web application firewall helps protect web apps by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet. It typically protects web apps from attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, code injection, os command injection, CRLF injection, LDAP injection, XPath injection, RCE, XXE, SSRF, path traversal, backdoor, brute force, HTTP-flood, bot abuse, among others. By deploying a WAF in front of a web application, a shield is placed between the web application and the Internet. While a proxy server protects a client machine’s identity by using an intermediary, a WAF is a type of reverse-proxy, protecting the server from exposure by having clients pass through the WAF before reaching the server. A WAF protects your web apps by filtering, monitoring, and blocking any malicious HTTP/S traffic traveling to the web application.

    Stegcore

    Stegcore

    A cross-platform crypto-steganography toolkit

    Stegcore combines cryptography and steganography to hide encrypted data inside ordinary files. It encrypts your payload before embedding it, so the hidden content is unreadable even if someone extracts it, and invisible to anyone who doesn't know it's there. Unlike basic steganography tools that hide data without encrypting it, Stegcore ensures the payload is cryptographically protected at rest. Unlike pure encryption tools, the payload isn't even visible. Designed for journalists, security researchers, red teamers, digital forensics professionals, and CTF participants.
