Local Network Port Scanner: A Python Script for Network Assessment

ItsEvilDuck — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 19:41:57 +0000

I've released a new tool, the Local Network Port Scanner. This is a Python script designed for network reconnaissance within a local environment. Its primary function is to quickly scan a specified target IP address for common open ports.

The script aims to help users identify potential entry points and exposed services on devices connected to their local network. By checking for commonly used ports, it provides an overview of which services might be running and accessible. This can be useful for individuals looking to understand their network's attack surface and improve security posture by identifying unintended exposures.

It's a straightforward utility for anyone needing a quick way to check network device vulnerabilities without complex setups. The focus is on providing a functional and direct method for port scanning on local networks.

KAN FPGA Accelerator Proxy for Rapid Prototyping

ItsEvilDuck — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 19:39:58 +0000

I've built the KAN FPGA Accelerator Proxy. It's a Python-based proxy tool designed to simulate the performance of ultrafast FPGA-based Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) inference.

This tool is for researchers and developers working with KAN models. It allows for rapid prototyping and testing of your KAN architectures. You can iterate on model designs and evaluate their potential performance in a simulated hardware environment before committing to actual FPGA deployment.

The proxy simulates the speed and characteristics of an FPGA inference engine, giving you a realistic environment to validate your KAN implementations. This helps catch issues and optimize models early in the development cycle.

It's a straightforward way to bridge the gap between theoretical KAN development and practical hardware acceleration.

The Game Save Manager CLI is a command-line tool designed to automate the process of backing up and restoring game save files. This tool is particularly useful for gamers who have experienced data loss due to system failures, accidental deletions, or game updates gone wrong. By using the Game Save Manager CLI, users can easily manage multiple save states and prevent data loss. The tool provides a simple and efficient way to back up and restore save files, making it an essential utility for anyone who spends a significant amount of time playing games. Game Save Manager CLI

ESP32 Live Serial Data Streamer: Terminal Output for ESP32s

ItsEvilDuck — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 15:56:28 +0000

I built a small Python script called ESP32 Live Serial Data Streamer. It lets you connect to your ESP32 development board and stream its real-time serial output directly into your terminal.

This tool is useful if you need to debug your ESP32 firmware, monitor sensor data as it comes in, or just see what your board is doing without firing up a full Integrated Development Environment. It works by tapping into the serial connection.

To use it, you need Python installed and the pyserial library. You can install it with pip install pyserial. When you run the script, you can either specify your ESP32's serial port and baud rate directly, or the script will prompt you to select them interactively.

This is a straightforward utility for developers working with ESP32s who prefer a terminal-based workflow or need a quick way to check serial output.

Orbital Mechanics Calculator: Compute orbital parameters

ItsEvilDuck — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 15:56:00 +0000

I built the Orbital Mechanics Calculator to help with basic orbital parameter computations. You can input the mass of a central body, the distance to an orbiting body, and its velocity. The tool then calculates the orbital period and the orbital energy.

This is a straightforward tool for anyone needing to quickly estimate these values. It's useful for students learning about orbital mechanics, hobbyists tracking satellites or planning amateur astronomy observations, or developers working with simulations that require simplified orbital physics.

The calculations are based on standard physics formulas. It's a simple input-output tool, designed to be fast and focused.

AI Monthly Budget Calculator: Track AI Spending

ItsEvilDuck — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 15:54:14 +0000

I built the AI Monthly Budget Calculator because I needed a way to make sense of my AI tool expenses. It's easy to get a monthly bill, but harder to see what that actually means on a day-to-day basis, or how it scales over a year.

This tool takes your total monthly AI budget and breaks it down into daily, weekly, and yearly equivalents. It also helps you estimate your cost per interaction. This is useful for a few things:

Benchmarking: If you're evaluating different AI tools, you can use this to compare their pricing structures more easily. See if Tool A's daily cost aligns better with your usage than Tool B's.
Setting Tiers: If you're building an AI-powered service and need to set subscription tiers, understanding your cost per interaction is key to profitability.
Budgeting: Simply get a clearer picture of your AI spending habits.

It's a straightforward tool for anyone managing budgets for AI services, whether for personal projects or business use.
