Algo is a conversational AI chatbot that is different from ChatGPT.

Algo is less verbose and more attuned to the user's needs, providing helpful and meaningful insights without a lot of excess chatter.

Algo does not use your data for further training and model fine-tuning, and it is designed to keep all communication private and secure. You can delete your data at any time. This provides a higher level of control over personal information compared to ChatGPT, which is a public… Show more

Algo is a conversational AI chatbot that is different from ChatGPT.

Algo is less verbose and more attuned to the user's needs, providing helpful and meaningful insights without a lot of excess chatter.

Algo does not use your data for further training and model fine-tuning, and it is designed to keep all communication private and secure. You can delete your data at any time. This provides a higher level of control over personal information compared to ChatGPT, which is a public system and has no provision for data deletion.

Algo is customizable. It is easy to add domain-specific knowledge and real-time information with datasets, customize Algo's personality and behavior and even embed it into Slack or your website. Show less

Experience history like never before with our AI chatbots, allowing you to converse with and learn from some of the most influential and significant figures in human history.

Codepal is perhaps the first (if not one of the first) ChatGPT-based code generators. It was created soon after the release of ChatGPT out of personal interest. This project lead to another project now known as ChatBotKit (CBK).

Perhaps some of the first examples how to utilise ChatGPT to build various types of autonomous agents - from coding assistants to chrome extensions, games and much more.

Pown.js is an experimental security framework for node. It aims to be security driven with contributions via NPM package registry. The project is currently in its infancy but it is getting some powerful features constantly.

The OpenDevSecOps project mission is to provide a world-class resource for implementing complete devsecops and secops programs within organizations of any shape and size using off-the-shelf tools and access to our vibrant community.

ScanFoundry automatically detects security vulnerabilities so you don't have to. It is built on a universal security testing platform that integrates commercial and open source scanning tools.

The first in the world web application security scanner for iOS and macOS. Getting this published required having special permissions from Apple.

Foobar is an easy to use, code experimentation, creative coding and code learning development environment for Mac OS X. With Foobar you can test your ideas, learn new programming techniques and algorithms, write small tools, utilities and scripts, all from the same place.

Proxy.app is an intercepting web proxy for Mac OS X. The app quickly become a top selling app (Mac AppStore Too 10 Grossing) in both UK and USA. The app is now deprecated in favour of SecApps Suite.

In the cold winter of 2014, I found an unexpected comfort in the warmth emanating from my laptop after prolonged use of my IDE. This peculiar source of relief during the cold sparked an innovative idea. Why not create an application that harnesses the CPU’s heat to warm one’s hands? Thus, the concept of “HandsWarmer” was conceived.

In the cold winter of 2014, I found an unexpected comfort in the warmth emanating from my laptop after prolonged use of my IDE. This peculiar source of relief during the cold sparked an innovative idea. Why not create an application that harnesses the CPU’s heat to warm one’s hands? Thus, the concept of “HandsWarmer” was conceived.

Determined to bring this idea to life, I embarked on a journey. Contrary to what one might assume, the underlying mechanism of HandsWarmer was not a complex algorithm performing redundant calculations. Instead, its core functionality was elegantly straightforward. The app initiated an additional thread that executed an infinite loop: while(1);. This simple process ensured the CPU remained engaged, generating heat without performing meaningful computations.

I submitted HandsWarmer to the AppStore, envisioning a world where cold hands were a thing of the past for anyone sitting at an Apple computer. However, my excitement was short-lived. The app was promptly rejected for violating the store’s terms and conditions. Show less

Back in the days blogging platforms were a no match to seasoned hackers and the GNUCITIZEN team were really good at it. So we decided to fix it by creating a set of Wordpress plugins and tools to protect Wordpress blog all over the world. This as far as we know were the first security tooling made specifically to protect Wordpress installations.

The first and the only one hacker social network. The network was formed in May 2008 and quickly reached over 30,000 members. Due to many reasons, I had to shut it down. This is by far one of the most regretful decisions ever made by GNUCITIZEN staff.

The idea behind Agile Hacking was to create the first crowdsourced information security resource - essentially an alternative to all information security books combined. The project existed briefly and never materialized to anything other than a few small contributions. We have created a GitHub organization in memory of this project. Feel free to contact us if you want to take the lead.

This was a failed attempt to create a public vulnerability acquisition program. There is more about this over here.
