Pasting internal IP blocks, customer data hashes, or active JWT tokens into an unknown remote backend is an unnecessary exposure risk.</li> </ul> <p>To solve this, I built CyberKit — a client-side developer and security suite running entirely within your browser.</p> <h2> Core Architecture: Privacy First </h2> <p>The fundamental design rule of CyberKit is simple: Zero server data transmission.</p> <ol> <li>Powered by Standard Web APIs: All hashing, encoding, decoding, and scoring algorithms leverage modern native browser capabilities like the WebCrypto API.</li> <li>Zero Backend Storage: Inputs, tokens, and payloads never leave your browser sandbox.</li> <li>Modern Stack: Built using React, Vite, and Tailwind CSS. Bundle sizes are kept minimal with dynamic lazy loading so tools launch instantly.</li> <li>Open &amp; Frictionless: No accounts, no paywalls, and no trackers.</li> </ol> <h2> Tools Currently Available </h2> <ol> <li>Risk &amp; Scoring: Real-time CVSS v4.0 / v3.1 calculators and Risk Assessment Matrices.</li> <li>Decoders &amp; Token Analyzers: Client-side JWT Inspector with signature debugging, Multi-Decoder, and standard Hash generators.</li> <li>Networking: Interactive CIDR and Subnet calculators for fast network planning.</li> <li>Web Security: Security header inspector and hardening reference guides.</li> </ol> <h2> Links &amp; Community Feedback </h2> <p>The project is live, continuously maintained, and open-source:</p> <p><strong>Live Web App: <a href="https://cyberkit.tools" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://cyberkit.tools</a></strong></p> <p>I'd love to hear from this community:</p> <p>What daily security or network utilities do you find yourself needing most often?</p> <p>Any edge-case bugs or UI enhancements you'd like to see improved?</p> <p>Feel free to leave your thoughts, PRs, or feature requests below!</p> cybersecurity webdev react opensource
