What We Do · File No. 05

Recommended Tools, Materials & Services

The hardware and software we reach for every day. Many are entry-level, so cost is less of a concern if you are just getting started. We keep this updated as machines go in and out of production.

Built in the Garage

Tools We’ve Made

Free and open source, built to run offline. Most are single-file tools you can use right in the browser, no account, no install. Source lives on GitHub under GPL-3.0.

Gerber Viewer for GitHub

A Chrome extension that renders Gerber PCB fabrication files right inside GitHub, pull-request diffs included, so you can review board changes without leaving the repo.

PinScope

An Arduino diagnostic tool for probing and visualizing pin activity at the bench, with documentation on GitHub Pages.

Open → · Source

Almanac

A 77-section offline bench reference: the formulas, pinouts, conversions, and tables you reach for at the workbench, all in a single file.

Open → · Source

Whiteboard

A retro sci-fi portable whiteboard with a built-in kanban mode, for sketching and planning entirely in the browser.

Open → · Source

Paperwork

Turns a hand-drawn schematic into a runnable SPICE simulation through a computer-vision pipeline, no redrawing required.

Open → · Source

Registrar

A provenance certificate generator that signs documents with ECDSA so their authenticity can be independently verified against a public key.

Open → · Source

Bitwright

A DuckyScript workbench: write, lint, and narrate payloads, then compile to a classic inject.bin, a Flipper BadUSB script, or plain DuckyScript, and read an existing inject.bin back to source. For authorized testing and security education.

Casebook

A sealed casefile for security engagements: capture scope, rules of engagement, and a timestamped findings log, then sign the whole record with ECDSA so it cannot be altered after sealing.

Bulwark

A self-contained field kit for network forensics and vulnerability triage: MAC parsing and OUI lookup, CVSS 3.1 and 4.0 scoring with shareable vectors, and encode, decode, and hash tools.

Open → · Source

Rampart

A modular field kit for authorized physical security assessments. Eleven instruments share one chassis, from lock and credential references to walking surveys and RF exposure rating to a client report compiler, all weighted toward documentation and remediation.

Open → · Source

Gatewright

A drag-and-wire logic gate editor for the Arduino MKR Vidor 4000 FPGA: build circuits visually and export Verilog, an Arduino sketch, a pin map, and a Quartus flow.

Open → · Source

Injection Mold from STL

A Python script that turns any STL part into the two halves of a basic two-plate injection mold, with sprue, runner, gate, vents, and alignment pins, ready to 3D print or to CNC a soft aluminum tool.
