Our Mission
About EvilBit Labs
EvilBit Labs was founded by operators with decades of experience building and defending critical systems in some of the most challenging environments - airgapped labs, classified networks, and places where SaaS tools simply don't work. Our team brings deep enterprise-scale security expertise and a practical, isolation-first mindset to everything we build.
We started EvilBit Labs after realizing that too many tools for sensitive or disconnected environments were outdated, overly complex, or just not built for the realities of the field. Our mission is to quietly craft tools that are clean, direct, and respectful of the environments they operate in - tools that just work, wherever you need them.
We operate under our handles, not our real names, because what matters is the work and the community. We build for practitioners - not to chase hype, investors, or growth for its own sake. EvilBit Labs is a lab, not a startup - a place to contribute well-crafted tools to a community we've been part of for decades.

Our Principles
The values that guide our work
Operator-Centric
We build for real-world needs. Every tool is shaped by firsthand experience from red teamers, blue teamers, and lab operators. We prioritize usability, clarity, and workflows that match how defenders _actually_ work - not how things look in whitepapers or slide decks.
Airgap-Friendly
Our tools are designed to function fully offline, with zero reliance on cloud services, license servers, or external APIs. No surprise dependencies. No 'phone home.' Just software that works in disconnected, high-security, and adversarial environments.
Transparent by Design
Open code, real docs, and behavior you can trust. We believe tools should be auditable, understandable, and modifiable. Transparency builds confidence - not just for defenders, but for anyone who needs to debug, extend, or verify what's going on under the hood.
Reliable Under Fire
We test for the weird cases. Our focus is robust engineering that holds up under pressure - from flaky lab networks to real-world incidents. Predictable behavior matters more than fancy features, and graceful failure is part of the design.
Empowering Humans and AI-Together
Our documentation, CLI help, and code comments are written to serve both humans and machines. That means clear guidance for the operator _and_ structured signals for AI tools and assistants. Whether you're automating a task or helping someone else do it faster, our tools are designed to support collaboration between people and the systems they rely on.
Respecting Tool and Platform Choice
We don't judge your stack. Whether you use grep or GPT, Vim or VS Code, Debian or Windows - we design our tools to support a wide range of workflows and platforms. The goal is interoperability, not control. Real inclusivity means meeting people where they _are_, not where someone else thinks they should be.
