OpticalShield 2.8
Top-tier Java Anti-Reverse Protection
What it does
OpticalShield uses the Java Native Interface to transpile existing Java bytecode (which runs on ordinary, JVM-compliant JVMs) into C++ code, without any Java bytecode traces.(It's free for a limited time) Tips: With Zig 0.15.2 and OpenJDK 25, OpticalShield obfuscated output can be approximately 41.53% faster than JNIC 3.5.1 obfuscated output.

We’ve been working on Vaev, a minimal web browser engine built from scratch. It supports HTML/XHTML, the CSS cascade, @page rules for pagination, and print-to-PDF rendering. It even handles calc(), var(), and percentage units—and yes, it renders Google.com (mostly). This is an experimental project focused on learning and exploration. Networking is basic (http:// and file:// only), and grid layouts aren’t supported yet, but we’re making progress fast. We’d love your thoughts and feedback.

- MJMochi.js: bun-native high-fidelity browser automation libraryMay 2026 · mochijs.com · ▲47
Hi HN, I’m sharing mochi.js (https://github.com/0xchasercat/mochi), a Bun-native, raw-CDP browser automation framework. It's designed to make programmatic browser use more effective by focusing on consistency and measured parity with regular traffic, purely from the JS layer, against stock Chromium. The most common forms of browser automation focus heavily on client-side line by line probes, which are mostly cosmetic. This makes people feel better but it doesn't have much relevance to actual WAF or anti-automation defences. Mochi.js focuses on what actually matters,…

Hey HN, I've been working on an intercepting proxy for penetration testing over the last few years in my spare time. Some points of difference from the existing tools: * The UIs are built using the native platform frameworks, meaning they look and behave like other applications on the desktop. * It has a fully embedded and integrated Python scripting engine. * It’s fully native meaning it’s nicer on system resources. * It has a number of built in scripts to automate reconnaissance, content discovery, authorisation checks, etc. * The core of it is open source. I'm really keen to get any…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
