GhostTrack
Useful tool to track location or mobile number
GhostTrack is an open-source OSINT utility designed to help users gather publicly available intelligence related to IP addresses, phone numbers, and online usernames through a command-line workflow. The project is implemented in Python and targets cybersecurity researchers, ethical hackers, and investigators who need a lightweight reconnaissance tool for digital footprint analysis. It provides a menu-driven interface that allows users to select different tracking modes, making the tool accessible even to those with limited scripting experience. GhostTrack can be combined with complementary tools such as Seeker to enhance IP capture workflows and improve investigative coverage. Because it focuses on aggregating open data rather than exploiting systems, the tool positions itself within the information-gathering phase of security assessments and OSINT research. -

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. -

BerserkArch
A bleeding-edge, security-centric Arch-based Linux distribution.
BerserkArch is a security-focused, performance-tuned Linux operating system (OS) based on Arch Linux, designed for developers, hackers, and technical users. A bleeding-edge, security-centric Arch-based Linux distribution crafted for hackers, developers, and nerds alike. Following the Arch Linux philosophy, it is designed to be highly customizable, allowing users to build their environment with only the components they need, rather than having a lot of pre-installed software like some other security distributions (e.g., Kali Linux). As an Arch-based distribution, it benefits from the rolling release model, providing users with the latest software versions and kernel updates. BerserkArch is a dist "designed to make you powerful" for specific use cases like reverse-engineering binaries and automating exploits, rather than being an easy-to-use distribution for general beginners. -

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. -

Network Enumeration Tool
Network Enumeration Tool for Host Exploration and Recon
N-ETHER (Network Enumeration Tool for Host Exploration and Reconnaissance) is a robust and highly automated Python script designed to streamline the critical initial phases of network security auditing and penetration testing. It’s core purpose is to perform fast, comprehensive, and consistent host and port discovery across single targets or large lists of IP addresses. N-ETHER functions as an intelligent, opinionated wrapper around the powerful nmap tool, bundling best-practice scanning techniques—including service versioning, NSE scripting, and intelligent port selection—into a single, easy-to-use utility. This significantly reduces auditor workload and potential for human error compared to manually executing multiple complex nmap commands. Read the README!!! -
