tiny11builder
Scripts to build a trimmed-down Windows 11 image
Scripts to build a trimmed-down Windows 11 image - now in PowerShell. After more than a year (for which I am so sorry) of no updates, tiny11 builder is now a much more complete and flexible solution - one script fits all. Also, it is a steppingstone for an even more fleshed-out solution. You can now use it on ANY Windows 11 release (not just a specific build), as well as ANY language or architecture. This is made possible thanks to the much-improved scripting capabilities of PowerShell, compared to the older Batch release. This is a script created to automate the build of a streamlined Windows 11 image, similar to tiny11. My main goal is to use only Microsoft utilities like DISM, and no utilities from external sources. The only executable included is oscdimg.exe, which is provided in the Windows ADK and it is used to create bootable ISO images. Also included is an unattended answer file, which is used to bypass the Microsoft Account on OOBE and to deploy the image. -

SVG Explorer Extension
Extension module for Windows Explorer to render SVG thumbnails
The SVG Explorer Extension is a utility for Windows File Explorer that adds native thumbnail rendering and context-menu previews for SVG files. With this extension installed, Explorer will show scalable previews of .svg files just like image formats, enabling visual quick identification of vector files. The project also adds a “Preview in Windows Explorer” feature so users can see full-size SVGs in the side preview pane without launching an editor. It supports features like CSS-based styling, embedded fonts, and scaling in thumbnails so the preview matches rendering expectations. Because Windows doesn’t natively render SVG previews in many versions, this fills a usability gap for designers, developers, and content creators working with vector assets. The extension is lightweight, integrates into shell UI seamlessly, and improves file navigation workflows involving vectors. -

Vcpkg
C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS
Vcpkg helps you manage C and C++ libraries on Windows, Linux and MacOS. This tool and ecosystem are constantly evolving, and we always appreciate contributions! After you've gotten vcpkg installed and working, you may wish to add tab completion to your shell. With CMake, you will still need to find_package and the like to use the libraries. Check out the CMake section for more information, including on using CMake with an IDE. In classic mode, vcpkg produces an "installed" tree, whose contents are changed by explicit calls to vcpkg install or vcpkg remove. The installed tree is intended for consumption by any number of projects: for example, installing a bunch of libraries and then using those libraries from Visual Studio, without additional configuration. Because the installed tree is not associated with an individual project, it's similar to tools like brew or apt, except that the installed tree is vcpkg-installation-local, rather than global to a system or user. -

Scoop Installer
A command-line installer for Windows
Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows. If you have built software that you would like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (like MSI or InnoSetup). You just need to compress your app to a .zip file and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it. Scoop downloads and manages packages in a portable way, keeping them neatly isolated in ~\scoop. It won't install files outside its home, and you can place a Scoop installation wherever you like. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcut, inside the ~\scoop\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. For graphical applications, Scoop creates program shortcuts in a dedicated Start menu folder, called 'Scoop Apps'. This way, packages are always cleanly uninstalled and you can be sure what tools are currently in your PATH and in your Start menu. -

Commando VM
Complete Mandiant Offensive VM (Commando VM)
Commando VM (by Mandiant) is a Windows-based offensive security / red-team distribution built to turn a fresh Windows installation into a fully featured penetration testing environment. It provides an automated installer (PowerShell script) that uses Chocolatey, Boxstarter, and MyGet package feeds to download, install, and configure dozens (100+ / 170+ depending on version) of offensive, fuzzing, enumeration, and exploitation tools. The idea is to spare testers the repetitive work of hand-installing dozens of windows tools, dependencies, and configurations. Commando VM supports customization of its installation profile (you can pick subsets of tools), includes support for WSL/Kali integration, and is intended to be used in a VM to facilitate snapshot recovery and test isolation. -

winget-pkgs
The Microsoft community Windows Package Manager manifest repository
The winget-pkgs repository is the community-maintained manifest collection for the Windows Package Manager (winget), serving as the default, upstream source of installable application manifests used by the winget client. It contains tens of thousands of manifest files (organized under a manifests/ folder) plus schema, validation, CI pipelines, and tooling to build, test, and publish packages so users can install software with a single command. The repo enforces contribution processes (including a Contributor License Agreement flow for many contributors), automated validation checks, and publishing pipelines so manifests meet format, checksum, and licensing expectations before becoming available to users. Maintainers document manifest authoring, testing, and request workflows, and the repository requires installers to be packaged as supported installer formats (MSIX, MSI, APPX, or executable installers), with script-based installers and fonts noted as unsupported. -

PowerSploit PowerShell
A PowerShell Post-Exploitation Framework
PowerSploit is a collection of PowerShell modules that historically served as a toolkit for post-exploitation tasks, red-team exercises, and offensive-security research—covering areas like reconnaissance, lateral movement, persistence, and situational awareness. The repository bundles many focused scripts: code to enumerate system and Active Directory information, payload generation helpers, in-memory execution utilities, and modules to interact with credentials and services. Because the modules can be used to both demonstrate weaknesses and to exploit them, the project is typically referenced in threat emulation, penetration testing, and defensive research to understand attacker capabilities. Responsible use centers on authorized assessments: defenders use the toolkit to validate monitoring and detection, while operators apply its lessons to patch, harden, and instrument systems. -

K8tools
Security- and exploitation-oriented utilities and proof-of-concepts
K8tools is a large, curated GitHub repository collecting dozens (hundreds) of security- and exploitation-oriented utilities, proof-of-concepts, and payloads aimed at penetration testing, privilege escalation, and vulnerability exploitation. The project bundles exploits for many well-known CVEs, remote get-shell scripts, local privilege-escalation helpers, credential-harvesting utilities, scanning and brute-force tools, and a variety of platform-specific binaries and archives organized into folders for quick browsing. The README and repository metadata present it as an “all-in-one” toolkit for offensive security tasks, with many archived executables, exploit payloads, and helper scripts (including PowerShell and Python examples) that target services such as WebLogic, Tomcat, Zimbra, Struts2, Zabbix and others. The repo is actively starred and forked by the community, shows a long commit history, and includes many archived artifacts. -

posh-git
A PowerShell environment for Git
posh-git is a PowerShell module which provides Git/PowerShell integration. The prompt within Git repositories can show the current branch and the state of files (additions, modifications, deletions) within. Provides tab completion for common commands when using git. Prompt formatting, among other things, can be customized. Displaying file status in the git prompt for a very large repo can be prohibitively slow. Rather than turn off file status entirely, you can disable it on a repo-by-repo basis by adding individual repository paths. PowerShell generates its prompt by executing a prompt function, if one exists. posh-git defines such a function in profile.example.ps1 that outputs the current working directory followed by an abbreviated git status. -

Blazor
Build client web apps with C#
Blazor lets you build interactive web UIs using C# instead of JavaScript. Blazor apps are composed of reusable web UI components implemented using C#, HTML, and CSS. Both client and server code is written in C#, allowing you to share code and libraries. Blazor is a feature of ASP.NET, the popular web development framework that extends the .NET developer platform with tools and libraries for building web apps. Blazor can run your client-side C# code directly in the browser, using WebAssembly. Because it's real .NET running on WebAssembly, you can re-use code and libraries from server-side parts of your application. Alternatively, Blazor can run your client logic on the server. Client UI events are sent back to the server using SignalR - a real-time messaging framework. Once execution completes, the required UI changes are sent to the client and merged into the DOM. Blazor uses open web standards without plug-ins or code transpilation. -

Pester
Pester is the ubiquitous test and mock framework for PowerShell
Pester is the de-facto unit testing and mocking framework for PowerShell, widely used to validate scripts, modules, and automation workflows. It provides a readable DSL for writing Describe/Context/It style specs, expressive assertion helpers (Should), and facilities for setup/teardown to keep tests isolated and reproducible. Beyond unit tests, Pester supports integration tests and can mock functions and modules so external side effects (network, registry, file system) are faked during runs. It integrates with CI systems easily—returning standard exit codes and generating NUnit/JUnit-style test reports—so PowerShell codebases can be validated in automated pipelines. The framework evolves with PowerShell itself, adding features for parallel execution, code coverage measurement, and test discovery to meet production needs. For teams, Pester encourages test-driven development and makes PowerShell deliverables more maintainable and trustworthy. -

Islands Dark
VSCode theme based off the easemate IDE and Jetbrains islands theme
Islands Dark is a custom theme and UI enhancement project for Visual Studio Code that reimagines the editor’s look and feel with a dark, modern aesthetic inspired by JetBrains’ Islands Dark theme, bringing refined visual flair to the development experience. Rather than just changing colors, it introduces visual enhancements such as floating glass-like panels with subtle shadows, rounded corners on UI elements, and smoothly animated transitions that make the editor feel more polished and immersive. The theme pairs deeply dark canvas backgrounds with warm, balanced syntax highlighting for many popular languages, and integrates well with recommended fonts like IBM Plex Mono and FiraCode Nerd Font Mono to improve readability and overall UI harmony. Because it leverages extensions like Custom UI Style and requires some font setup, VSCode Dark Islands aims at users who want a tailored, distinctive editor environment rather than the standard static color scheme.
