Why it exists
I work with servers and infrastructure, and I kept pasting config files, manifests and tokens into websites I had no reason to trust. So I built the tools I wanted, the kind I'd be happy to paste sensitive things into, and I'm sharing them in case they're useful to you too.
The one promise
What you type stays in your browser. It isn't sent, saved or logged, and there's nothing to sign up for. The site is set up so your browser blocks the tools from sending anything out, and every update is checked automatically for that before it goes live. The privacy policy has the plain-English version.
What's here
- Kubernetes manifest generator: fill in a form, get clean YAML with safe defaults.
- YAML formatter and validator: keeps your comments and your numbers exactly as written.
- JSON minifier and beautifier: big numbers keep every digit.
- Password generator: built to the Australian ACSC/ISM guidance.
- Base64 encoder and decoder: with a PowerShell mode that gets the encoding right.
How it's run
CarrNET is a one-person project, hosted on my own equipment in New Zealand. There are no analytics, no trackers and no cookies. Like any website, the server keeps ordinary request logs for a few weeks, and the privacy policy explains exactly what's in them.
Credits
- The password generator uses the EFF Large Wordlist (CC BY 3.0 US) and follows the ACSC's published passphrase guidance.
- The YAML tool is built on the open-source
yamllibrary by Eemeli Aro. - Set in Inter and JetBrains Mono. The font licences are here.
