Companions: productivity tools that streamline workflows and enhance efficiency.
Open Source Security & Productivity Tools
Prowl is a collection of open source security tools and productivity utilities designed for developers, security researchers, and IT professionals. Built by neur0map, these tools follow a predator-prey philosophy for maximum efficiency.
Our security tools (Predators) include penetration testing utilities, network reconnaissance tools, and red team operation helpers. The productivity tools (Companions) focus on developer workflow optimization and system administration tasks.
All tools are available on GitHub under open source licenses. Perfect for security professionals, developers, and anyone interested in command-line tools, cybersecurity research, and developer productivity enhancement.

"In nature, every creature has evolved for a specific role. My tools follow the same principle—each one perfectly adapted for its hunt."
About Prowl
Prowl is the umbrella name for the small tools I create—focused utilities for my cybersecurity practice and developer workflows. I build them first for my own learning and use, and I share them in case they help others too.
Who I am
I'm a cybersecurity student, not a professional programmer. I know the basics of Rust and keep learning in my spare time. Most of the code for these projects is generated by AI pair programmers—my role is to define the idea, review the output, wire things together, and test until the tool does one job well.
How the tools are built
The philosophy is simple: small, clear, dependable. I keep dependencies minimal, prefer fast start-up, and aim for readable configs over clever tricks. If something doesn't make the tool more useful in practice, it doesn't ship.
Why I'm sharing them
These tools were crafted for my own learning and day-to-day use while I practice cybersecurity. Publishing them makes the work accountable, invites feedback, and hopefully saves someone else time.
What to expect
This is a serious hobby, not a company. I maintain things as time allows and prioritize fixes that improve real use. Issues and PRs are welcome—community interest guides what evolves next.
Ethics & scope
Security-oriented tools here are intended only for authorized, legal use—labs, coursework, OSCP-style practice, or engagements where you have explicit permission. Use them responsibly.
Thanks
If a tool helps you, stars, issues, and small contributions go a long way. Prowl will grow at the speed of learning—one focused, useful creature at a time.

Sorafile
Project Management • Companion"One file. One command. Infinite possibilities."
Say goodbye to juggling scripts and makefiles. Sorafile brings declarative task management to your fingertips—define once in TOML, execute anywhere with smart watch modes and auto-discovery.
Snare
Security Research • Predator"The hunter becomes the hunted."
Deploy honeypots like spinning up a dev server. Snare creates isolated, tempting targets that capture every move attackers make—then vanishes without a trace, leaving only evidence.
