Privacy & security tools (password generators, trackers)

This privacy and security tools section is less about quick fixes and more about understanding what’s out there — on your own network, across the wider web, and in harder-to-reach corners of the internet. Ahmia helps people discover onion services available through Tor while also publishing its Tor address, accepting service submissions, and maintaining removal policies for indexed abuse material. YaCy takes a different approach: it’s open-source software for running a search engine on your own infrastructure, whether that’s for local or intranet search, an organization-specific portal, or participation in a distributed peer-to-peer web index.

For broader security visibility, Shodan is a powerful reference point: it searches Internet-connected devices and services rather than just conventional websites, with extras like monitoring, IP intelligence, maps, images, bulk data, and API access for security research. Check Point Threat Map rounds things out with a browser-based visualization of cyberattack activity around the world, useful as an awareness tool for seeing regional threat context rather than as a hands-on scanner or incident response console. Taken together, these listings are best suited for curious, security-minded visitors who want tools for discovery, context, and visibility — with the appropriate care that those topics deserve.
