Browser Tools

Browser tools are convenience utilities for researchers, coordinators, and reviewers who need local processing without sending material to an external conversion, scanning, or inspection service. Each tool has a public contract that declares its route, component, processing model, network behavior, storage behavior, and practical limits.

These utilities are not evidence vaults, forensic suites, or exploit-development environments. They are narrow, transparent tools for common defensive and publication tasks: hashing files, transforming text-safe encodings, inspecting shallow file metadata, reviewing pasted headers, and decoding token structure.

Hash InspectorCompute SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 for text or selected files.File ConverterConvert local byte, text, and structured-data representations without upload.File ProfilerInspect metadata, first bytes, entropy, line endings, and hashes.Security Headers WorkbenchReview pasted response headers locally.JWT InspectorDecode JWT header and payload segments without verification.

Local Processing Boundary

Each tool must document what it reads, what it writes, whether any network request occurs, whether storage is used, and what input limits apply.

Tool Contract

Browser tools should be understandable without trusting hidden infrastructure. If a tool cannot meet the local-only contract, it should move to a separate reviewed category with explicit backend behavior.

Tool pages should describe the input boundary, execution model, output interpretation, and unsupported cases. A security tool is more credible when it clearly states what it does not inspect, upload, verify, or retain.

Expansion Model

The browser-tool family now has a conversion model and a tool roadmap. Those pages explain which utilities can be added safely as local browser tools and which utilities require parser, dependency, or downloadable-release review. This keeps the tool surface useful without turning it into an unbounded collection of one-off widgets.
