About

Hi! I’m Rahul. I go by @rahuldottech on the interwebs. I’m a high school student who’s into programming, infosec, robotics and music.
I particularly enjoy hacking around and finding weird solutions to tricky problems. My primary blog/website is rahul.tech.

Public Projects

Active Projects

• psst: Set up a simple file-sharing system on your server.
• secSesh: Super-simple library for secure PHP session management.
• varDx: Library for flat-file data storage in PHP.
• UPDATRR: Remotely deploy commands to multiple Windows computers from a centralized server. Originally developed to be used with a renderfarm.
• ncRemRun: Listen for commands over the network and execute them.
• killr: Remote killswitch for Windows PCs and servers.

Inactive/Dormant/Completed Projects

• netcat-http-server: Super simple webserver in batch using netcat. I made this for fun, but I don’t think I’ll be updating it anymore. For what its worth, it works pretty well to serve simple pages.
• ncRshell: Basically a super-broke-living-on-the-street-poor-(wo)man’s telnet server. Allows remote shell access on Windows. Admin privileges not required. Also originally developed to be used with a renderfarm. I made a client too.
• colloquium: Chat room made with PHP, JS and JQuery. I am not currently working on this. I have an advanced chat-room system based on this lying around somewhere. I’ll get around to formatting and uploading it eventually.
• rickroll-WiFi-for-Windows: Rickroll people searching for WiFi networks. Completed.
• ncExec: cmd.exe ↔ HTTP experiments using netcat. Remote command execution over the web. Completed.
• percent-decoder: Challenged myself to make this one day. Allows you to decode percent-encoded data from cmd.exe. Completed.
• pine-ctrl: Started working on this for a competition back when I was just getting started with IoT and PHP. It’s an API of sorts for IoT devices for centralized data storage and logging. Never finished writing it. May re-visit it in the future.
• EmergencyAlert: Alerts anyone in the vicinity of the PC by flashing a red screen and playing a loud alarm if a critical event takes place. For use in datacentres. Completed.

Scripts/Gists

• powershell-download: Super simple one-liner PS command to download files with HTTPS support. To be used with batch files. Completed.
