Everything runs in your browser
None of your data leaves your machine. All processing happens locally using JavaScript. We don’t log inputs, store results, or track what you do with the tools.
This matters when you’re working with sensitive stuff like passwords, hashes, or test payloads.
Why we built this
We kept finding ourselves jumping between different websites for basic tasks. Need to decode a JWT? One site. Generate a hash? Another site. Check a subnet? Yet another.
So we put everything in one place. Same interface, same dark theme, no ads covering half the screen.
How to use it
Head to thehackerwire.com/hacking-tools. You can search for tools or filter by category. Each tool has a simple interface – input goes in, output comes out.
No accounts. No signups. Just open and use.
What’s next
We’ll keep adding tools based on what people actually need. If there’s something missing that you use regularly, let us know.
The tools section is now live in the main menu. Check it out and bookmark the ones you use most.
