root@coders:~$ ./read --latest
An information-security & technical journal — plus the tools we build. We share what we learn as penetration testers, programmers, and network administrators so others can understand cyber risk and defend against it.
Built by us
Software we design and ship — and where new releases get announced.
Coming soon
Crack the code of the cube
An interactive, browser-based guide that teaches you to solve the 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 on a real, animated 3D cube — every algorithm plays out on the cube, move by move. Follow the guided Layer-by-Layer path as a total beginner, or jump straight to F2L, full OLL and PLL as a speedcuber. No sign-up, no downloads.
AI video + audio, made on your Mac
Turn a prompt into a video with synced sound — running 100% locally on an Apple Silicon Mac. Storyboard a frame from new angles, keep your character consistent, extend the shot, stitch a vertical cut, and add an AI voiceover. No cloud, no queue, no subscription.
Your day, on the record
Offline-first daily logs, notes, tasks, photos and voice memos for any project. Installs like an app, works with no signal, and syncs privately to your own Google Drive.
Plan, lead & play — in one place
The all-in-one app for worship teams: song charts with chords, one-tap transpose to any key, and a dashboard for members, trainings and schedule. AI practice tools on the way.
Coming soon
Your messengers, back on your desktop
One native desktop window for all your messaging — starting with Facebook Messenger, with more services on the way. Stays logged in, instant notifications, no browser throttling. Mac, Windows & Linux.
IRC for people who run channels
A modern, native, cross-platform IRC client with a battle-tested operator & channel-protection toolkit baked in — a ground-up rebuild of the classic RAVE IRC script suite (©2002, acronix on DALnet).
Live
Learn to code through play — kids to advanced
A play-based coding game that starts with picture-blocks for kids and scales up through intermediate and advanced levels for teens and adults — building real fluency in sequencing, loops, conditionals, functions and debugging. Free, installable, works fully offline, with no ads or tracking.
// AI Lab
Agents, automation and AI-assisted security & developer tooling — documented as it ships.
From the journal
Hands-on guides on penetration testing, hacking tools, networking, and the systems we live in.
Latest
Programming · Python
Part 5 of the Python series: repeat work without copy-pasting using for and while loops, the range() helper, plus break, continue, and enumerate().
Programming · Python
Part 4 of the Python series: make your programs decide with if, elif, and else — plus truthiness, the ternary shortcut, and match (Python 3.10+).
Programming · Python
Part 3 of the Python series: operators — arithmetic (incl. // and **), assignment, comparison, and logic, plus what Python does differently from PHP.
Programming · Python
Part 2 of the Python series: variables and data types — how Python stores text, numbers, and booleans, plus how its dynamic typing works (and differs from PHP).
Programming · Python
Starting a new beginner-to-intermediate series. Part 1 covers Python's basic syntax — running a script, the print() function, indentation, and comments.
Programming · PHP
Part 4 of the PHP series: conditional statements — make your programs decide with if, else, elseif, switch, and the handy ternary shortcut.
Systems & Networking · Security
A tiny status page plus a safe control API for your server — published only inside your tailnet with Tailscale Serve, never exposed to the public internet.
Apps
When Facebook retired its desktop Messenger app, millions got pushed into a browser tab. KausApp brings Messenger back to a real desktop app — coming soon.
Systems & Networking
Stay connected to IRC 24/7 with ZNC. Install it, run it as a service, connect your client, and use the *status and *controlpanel commands to manage it.
Programming · Systems & Networking
No server, no database, no monthly bill. Here's the whole path to a static website — build the files, preview locally, and put it online for free with HTTPS.
Apps
RAVE began in 2002 as an mIRC script for DALnet operators. We're rebuilding it as a native, cross-platform IRC client with the operator toolkit baked in.
Systems & Networking
tmux keeps terminal sessions alive, splits one window into many, and survives dropped SSH connections — here's why to use it and the commands you'll use daily.
Who we are
Coders Republic is a cybersecurity research team — we research, educate, and build.
Based in the Philippines, we bring together backgrounds in offensive security, software engineering, and systems administration, led by Acronix, a practicing vulnerability researcher.
Our work spans three disciplines. Security research: we publish the techniques, tools, and findings from our work as penetration testers, so others can understand real-world risk and defend against it. Application development: we design and ship our own software — see the apps above. Artificial intelligence: we're integrating AI into how we work, and documenting in the AI Lab what genuinely delivers.
At heart, though, we're just regular people. Away from the keyboard we're musicians, teachers, gamers, and puzzle-solvers, and those interests have a way of showing up in what we build. The apps above aren't a random catalog; each one grew out of something we genuinely wanted, whether that's a tool for worship teams, a game that teaches kids to code, or a 3D trainer for solving the Rubik's cube. When our own interests and the things we ship line up, the work is simply better for it.
We hold ourselves to the standard we write about: we harden our own infrastructure, run regular audits, and treat everything we build as something to be defended. It's how we give back to the community and help make the Internet safer.
