eToolkit is an online toolkit to perform common confidential tasks I use to do on a regular basis including Generating Random Passwords, Base64 decoding & encoding, Text Hashing using MD5/SHA-1/SHA-224/SHA-256/SHA-512 algorithms, Character Counting and things.
I admit there are various tools available online for the purpose and undoubtedly I have been using them. Even more, major functions of eToolkit are inspired if not powered by them. But I did not like the idea of submitting confidential content to a website or application which is not open for review.
For most random websites those they appear in google search, following concerns arise in my mind whenever I am using their services:
To become useful, eToolkit is grateful to below open-source projects which power it:

But I did not like the idea of submitting confidential content to a website or application which is not open for review.
For most random websites those they appear in google search, following concerns arise in my mind whenever I am using their services:
- The password I am generating might be stored on their server
- The text I am hashing might be saved in rainbow tables for reverse-lookups
- I do not want to reload a page just to Base64 encode or decode a word. That feels creepy
To become useful, eToolkit is grateful to below open-source projects which power it:
- angular by Google
- Pure by Yahoo
- SparkMD5 by André Cruz
- Base64.js by David Chambers
- jsSHA by Brian Turek
- pace by Hubspot
