ts-blank-space
A small, fast, pure JavaScript type-stripper
ts-blank-space is a fast type-stripping compiler that converts TypeScript to JavaScript. It supports a modern subset of TypeScript by erasing the types and replacing them with whitespace. That's it. It is not a type checker and does not perform any other code transformations. The underlying technique can improve build performance and simplify development. The implementation is pure TypeScript. It is simple enough to read and understand in a few minutes because it is only 700 lines of code and reuses the original TypeScript parser. The core idea is to use spaces as a substitute for type annotations. You can think of ts-blank-space as a reference implementation of this type-stripping technique. Much like other compiler techniques seen in the JavaScript ecosystem, such as tree-shaking, it is a reusable idea that any TypeScript compiler could implement. -

JMX Exporter
A process for exposing JMX Beans via HTTP for Prometheus consumption
JMX to Prometheus exporter: a collector that can configurable scrape and expose mBeans of a JMX target. This exporter is intended to be run as a Java Agent, exposing a HTTP server and serving metrics of the local JVM. It can be also run as a standalone HTTP server and scrape remote JMX targets, but this has various disadvantages, such as being harder to configure and being unable to expose process metrics (e.g., memory and CPU usage). Running the exporter as a Java agent is strongly encouraged. -

Perfetto
Production-grade client-side tracing, profiling, and analysis
Perfetto is a production-grade tracing platform for Android, Linux, and Chrome that captures extremely detailed information about what a system is doing over time. It’s designed around a low-overhead producer/consumer model: instrumented components (“producers”) write binary events into shared memory buffers and a collector (“service”) reliably streams them to storage. The data model spans kernel and userspace, so you can stitch together CPU scheduling, app lifecycles, binder/IPC hops, GPU work, power and thermal signals, file I/O, heap samples, and more into a single coherent timeline. Perfetto’s ecosystem includes a web-based UI that can load multi-GB traces directly in the browser and an offline “trace processor” that exposes the trace as a queryable SQL-like table schema for deep analysis and automation. It integrates natively with Android (replacing older atrace/Systrace paths) and can sit alongside custom instrumentation in apps or services through its SDKs. -

RedSun
The Red Sun vulnerability repository
RedSun is a proof-of-concept security project that demonstrates a critical privilege escalation vulnerability in Microsoft Defender by exploiting unintended file-handling behavior. The tool leverages how Defender processes files tagged with cloud metadata, where instead of removing malicious files, the antivirus may rewrite them to their original location. By carefully manipulating this process, the exploit enables attackers to overwrite protected system files and gain SYSTEM-level privileges from a low-privilege account. The repository provides a minimal C++ implementation that showcases this behavior for research and educational purposes. It highlights flaws in endpoint protection logic and emphasizes how race conditions and file system interactions can be abused. The project is not designed as a full framework but as a focused demonstration of a real-world vulnerability. It serves as a stark example of how defensive systems can be turned into attack vectors. -

RetrofitUrlManager
Let Retrofit support multiple baseUrl and can be change the baseUrl
RetrofitUrlManager is an Android networking utility built on top of Retrofit and OkHttp that enables applications to support multiple base URLs and dynamically switch endpoints at runtime. The library simplifies complex networking architectures where apps interact with multiple APIs, environments, or microservices without requiring developers to rebuild Retrofit instances manually. It works by intercepting outgoing requests and replacing or modifying the target domain through a centralized management layer. The project is especially useful in modular Android applications, debugging environments, multi-tenant systems, and apps requiring dynamic API routing. RetrofitUrlManager integrates seamlessly into existing Retrofit workflows with minimal configuration while preserving compatibility with OkHttp interceptors and Retrofit annotations. Its design prioritizes flexibility, runtime configurability, and reduced boilerplate in Android networking stacks. -

Signature Pad
HTML5 canvas based smooth signature drawing
Signature Pad is a JavaScript library for drawing smooth signatures. It's HTML5 canvas based and uses variable width Bézier curve interpolation based on Smoother Signatures post by Square. It works in all modern desktop and mobile browsers and doesn't depend on any external libraries. Demo works in desktop and mobile browsers. You can check out its source code for some tips on how to handle window resize and high DPI screens. You can also find more about the latter in HTML5 Rocks tutorial. This library is provided as UMD (Universal Module Definition) and ES6 module. When you modify width or height of a canvas, it will be automatically cleared by the browser. SignaturePad doesn't know about it by itself, so you can call signaturePad.clear() to make sure that signaturePad.isEmpty() returns correct value in this case.
