tiny11builder
Scripts to build a trimmed-down Windows 11 image
Scripts to build a trimmed-down Windows 11 image - now in PowerShell. After more than a year (for which I am so sorry) of no updates, tiny11 builder is now a much more complete and flexible solution - one script fits all. Also, it is a steppingstone for an even more fleshed-out solution. You can now use it on ANY Windows 11 release (not just a specific build), as well as ANY language or architecture. This is made possible thanks to the much-improved scripting capabilities of PowerShell, compared to the older Batch release. This is a script created to automate the build of a streamlined Windows 11 image, similar to tiny11. My main goal is to use only Microsoft utilities like DISM, and no utilities from external sources. The only executable included is oscdimg.exe, which is provided in the Windows ADK and it is used to create bootable ISO images. Also included is an unattended answer file, which is used to bypass the Microsoft Account on OOBE and to deploy the image. -

CoreCycler
Script to test single core stability
A PowerShell script to test the stability of single-core loads. Modern CPUs can adjust their CPU frequency depending on their load, and have mechanisms that allow them to clock higher. With this script, you can test the stability for each core, which helps you to validate if your Ryzen "PBO" resp. "Curve Optimizer" settings are actually stable. It also works to test Intel's "Active-Core" Turbo-Boost settings. -

FLARE VM
A collection of software installations scripts for Windows systems
FLARE VM is a security-focused Windows workstation distribution designed for malware analysis, reverse engineering, penetration testing, and threat hunting. It bundles a curated set of tools—disassemblers, debuggers, decompilers, virtualization, forensics utilities, packet capture tools, exploit frameworks, and hex editors—preconfigured to work together. The environment configures paths, dependencies, environment variables, and common tool integrations so analysts can focus on tasks rather than setup. Updates and modular installation let users include only the tools that match their workflow, keeping the VM lean and current. Because security toolchains often clash (DLL versions, signing, privileges), FLARE VM’s packaging handles compatibility issues ahead of time. For investigations involving malware unpacking, sandboxing, static analysis, or code reversing on Windows, the platform dramatically accelerates readiness and consistency across analysts. -

Vcpkg
C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS
Vcpkg helps you manage C and C++ libraries on Windows, Linux and MacOS. This tool and ecosystem are constantly evolving, and we always appreciate contributions! After you've gotten vcpkg installed and working, you may wish to add tab completion to your shell. With CMake, you will still need to find_package and the like to use the libraries. Check out the CMake section for more information, including on using CMake with an IDE. In classic mode, vcpkg produces an "installed" tree, whose contents are changed by explicit calls to vcpkg install or vcpkg remove. The installed tree is intended for consumption by any number of projects: for example, installing a bunch of libraries and then using those libraries from Visual Studio, without additional configuration. Because the installed tree is not associated with an individual project, it's similar to tools like brew or apt, except that the installed tree is vcpkg-installation-local, rather than global to a system or user. -

Fido
A PowerShell script to download Windows or UEFI Shell ISOs
Fido is a PowerShell script that is primarily designed to be used in Rufus, but that can also be used in standalone fashion, and whose purpose is to automate access to the official Microsoft Windows retail ISO download links as well as provide convenient access to bootable UEFI Shell images. This script exists because, while Microsoft does make retail ISO download links freely and publicly available (at least for Windows 8 through Windows 11), up until recent releases, most of these links were only available after forcing users to jump through a lot of unwarranted hoops that created an exceedingly counterproductive, if not downright unfriendly, consumer experience, that greatly detracted from what people really want (direct access to ISO downloads). As to the reason one might want to download Windows retail ISOs, as opposed to the ISOs that are generated by Microsoft's own Media Creation Tool (MCT). -

Scoop Windows
A command-line installer for Windows
Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows. If you have built software that you would like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (like MSI or InnoSetup). You just need to compress your app to a .zip file and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it. Scoop downloads and manages packages in a portable way, keeping them neatly isolated in ~\scoop. It won't install files outside its home, and you can place a Scoop installation wherever you like. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcut, inside the ~\scoop\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. For graphical applications, Scoop creates program shortcuts in a dedicated Start menu folder, called 'Scoop Apps'. This way, packages are always cleanly uninstalled and you can be sure what tools are currently in your PATH and in your Start menu. -

Win11Debloat
A simple, easy to use PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps
Win11Debloat is a Windows 10/11 PowerShell toolkit designed to streamline and automate the 'debloating' process—removing unwanted preinstalled apps, disabling telemetry, and tweaking system settings. It supports both interactive and silent modes and is popular among sysadmins and privacy-focused users. -

posh-git
A PowerShell environment for Git
posh-git is a PowerShell module which provides Git/PowerShell integration. The prompt within Git repositories can show the current branch and the state of files (additions, modifications, deletions) within. Provides tab completion for common commands when using git. Prompt formatting, among other things, can be customized. Displaying file status in the git prompt for a very large repo can be prohibitively slow. Rather than turn off file status entirely, you can disable it on a repo-by-repo basis by adding individual repository paths. PowerShell generates its prompt by executing a prompt function, if one exists. posh-git defines such a function in profile.example.ps1 that outputs the current working directory followed by an abbreviated git status. -

Debloat Windows 10
A Collection of Scripts Which Disable/Remove Windows 10 Features
“Debloat-Windows-10” is a GitHub repository containing a collection of PowerShell scripts intended to disable or remove unwanted Windows 10 features, built-in apps, services, telemetry components, and tweaks for performance or privacy. The project is archived as of September 23, 2025 and marked as read-only, since Windows 10 will reach end of life. The author explicitly warns that running these scripts can sometimes break system functionality (e.g. user accounts or system components) and recommends using them only on fresh installations with caution. Many scripts operate nondestructively (without interactive confirmations), but the user is encouraged to edit them beforehand to suit their specific needs. The repository includes utilities to disable services, uninstall default apps, tweak privacy settings, clean up telemetry, and adjust system behavior. -

SVG Explorer Extension
Extension module for Windows Explorer to render SVG thumbnails
The SVG Explorer Extension is a utility for Windows File Explorer that adds native thumbnail rendering and context-menu previews for SVG files. With this extension installed, Explorer will show scalable previews of .svg files just like image formats, enabling visual quick identification of vector files. The project also adds a “Preview in Windows Explorer” feature so users can see full-size SVGs in the side preview pane without launching an editor. It supports features like CSS-based styling, embedded fonts, and scaling in thumbnails so the preview matches rendering expectations. Because Windows doesn’t natively render SVG previews in many versions, this fills a usability gap for designers, developers, and content creators working with vector assets. The extension is lightweight, integrates into shell UI seamlessly, and improves file navigation workflows involving vectors. -

Flipper Zero BadUSB
Repository for my flipper zero badUSB payloads
The repository is a public GitHub collection of BadUSB payloads prepared to run from a Flipper Zero device; it’s presented as a plug-and-play library that bundles payload scripts, a README, and supporting files so users can pick and use payloads without heavy setup. The project is heavily PowerShell-oriented and organized into a payloads folder with documentation (README, FAQs) and helper scripts, and the author says they formatted the collection to be easy for others to use. The maintainer also set up short-URL infrastructure to simplify embedding webhooks or tokens into compact one-liners for payload configuration, and the repo includes social/contact links and acknowledgments to related projects. The repository is actively used by a community (many stars, forks and hundreds of commits), and the author explicitly warns about responsible use and includes guidance in the docs. -

MultiPoolMiner
Multi-algo, multi-pool, multi-device controller
Monitors crypto mining pools and coins in real-time and finds the most profitable for your machine. Simply edit a batch file with your Bitcoin address or username and start mining. You will start earning even during benchmarking! MultiPoolMiner is more profitable than Nicehash Miner 2 and Nicehash Miner Legacy as it uses direct pool mining. With less than 0.7% minimum fee. It supports a great number of mining pools, such as CryptoNight, Ethash, Equihash, Groestl, Keccak, Lyra2RE2, Lyra2z, MyriadGroestl, NeoScrypt, Quark, Qubit, Scrypt, SHA256, Skein, X11, and Yescrypt. Some pools overestimate the projected profits. By default MPM will reduce the projected algo price by a correction factor (actual_last24h / estimate_last24h) to counter the pool overestimated prices. MPM supports customized configuration via config files. -

Commando VM
Complete Mandiant Offensive VM (Commando VM)
Commando VM (by Mandiant) is a Windows-based offensive security / red-team distribution built to turn a fresh Windows installation into a fully featured penetration testing environment. It provides an automated installer (PowerShell script) that uses Chocolatey, Boxstarter, and MyGet package feeds to download, install, and configure dozens (100+ / 170+ depending on version) of offensive, fuzzing, enumeration, and exploitation tools. The idea is to spare testers the repetitive work of hand-installing dozens of windows tools, dependencies, and configurations. Commando VM supports customization of its installation profile (you can pick subsets of tools), includes support for WSL/Kali integration, and is intended to be used in a VM to facilitate snapshot recovery and test isolation. -

Sophia Script for Windows
The most powerful PowerShell module for fine-tuning Windows
Sophia Script for Windows is a scripting environment or DSL (Domain-Specific Language) designed to provide scripting capabilities on Windows systems in a high-level, expressive way. It abstracts over native APIs and offers constructs that make system automation, file manipulation, registry access, and user scripting easier than raw PowerShell or batch scripts. The repository presumably contains runtime, script engine, and library helpers to simplify common Windows tasks (e.g., service control, UI automation, scheduled tasks). Because Windows scripting often involves glue between COM, WMI, and system APIs, Sophia’s design likely aims to unify those surfaces behind consistent semantics. For developers or sysadmins, it offers an alternative tool for building lightweight Windows automation without resorting to full compiled utilities. While its adoption might be niche, the project showcases how domain-specific scripting languages can simplify cross-cutting OS tasks. -

TinyTeX releases
Windows/macOS/Linux binaries and installation methods of TinyTeX
A lightweight, cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live. TinyTeX is a custom LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live that is small in size but functions well in most cases, especially for R users. If you run into the problem of missing LaTeX packages, it should be super clear to you what you need to do (in fact, R users won’t need to do anything). You only install LaTeX packages you actually need. Currently, TinyTeX works best for R users. Other users can use it, too, it is just that missing LaTeX packages won’t be automatically installed, and you need to install them manually. Or you can go to the extreme to install all packages (see FAQ 3 for how), but remember there are thousands of them. Installing or running TinyTeX does not require admin privileges, which means you no longer need sudo or your IT. You can even run TinyTeX from a Flash drive. -

Bloatbox
Remove Bloatwares from Windows 10
BloatBox is a lightweight toolkit that helps users identify and remove unnecessary or undesired components from Windows installations. It typically exposes a curated list of preinstalled apps and services often considered “bloat” and offers scripted ways to uninstall or disable them, streamlining a system for performance, privacy, or reduced clutter. The project aims to be user-friendly: rather than running raw command lines, it organizes actions into named tasks and explains consequences so users can choose conservative or aggressive cleanup profiles. It often includes safeguards like dry-run modes, restore points, or instructions for reinstalling removed components to avoid accidental breakage. For those managing multiple machines, BloatBox accelerates getting a consistent, lean image ready for deployment or personal use. The focus is on practical trade-offs—removing what’s unnecessary while keeping the system stable and manageable. -

Windows Super God Mode
Creates shortcuts to virtually every special location or action built
This project packages a set of Windows tweaks, shortcuts, and convenience scripts that surface many of the OS’s hidden settings and advanced controls into a single, easy-to-use place. It automates creation of “God Mode” folders and other control-panel shortcuts, removes the need to manually hunt through layers of Settings or the Registry, and often bundles helper scripts for common maintenance tasks. The intent is to put power-user features—tweaks for privacy, appearance, power management, and system behavior—within quick reach so administrators and enthusiasts can configure machines consistently. Because many of the actions touch system settings, the collection emphasizes clear instructions and reversible steps so users can roll back changes if needed. It’s valuable for technicians who want a reproducible baseline for customizing Windows installs, or for home users curious about otherwise-obscure controls. -
25
Scoop Extras
The Extras bucket for Scoop
Scoop «Extras» is the community-maintained bucket of additional manifests for Scoop, the popular Windows command-line installer; it contains packages and app manifests that don’t fit the stricter criteria of the main Scoop bucket. The repository is organized as a large collection of individual manifest files, helper scripts, and tooling to validate and publish new manifests, and it’s intended so users can extend Scoop with many community-contributed applications. Installation is straightforward for Scoop users: add the bucket with scoop bucket add extras and then install any manifest with scoop install <manifest>, making it quick to access a wide range of Windows command-line and GUI tools. The Extras bucket is actively maintained by a large contributor community, carries thousands of commits and many contributors, and uses an Unlicense license so manifests are easy to reuse.
