NEOHIRO // METAPOD

Defending networks, hardening systems, and building creative tech.

Hi there! 👋 I'm neohiro (METAPOD)

I build and maintain open-source software focused on network defense, privacy, DNS security, and Windows system hardening.

Beyond security architecture, I'm deeply involved in creative tech: working on indie game development, artist movie productions, audiovisual video projects, and virtual estate management. When I step away from the terminal, you'll find me mixing electronic music or out at parties.

🛡️ What I Work On

• System Hardening & Exploit Mitigation
  Developing GUI tools like ExploitProtection to configure and enforce advanced OS-level exploit defense mechanisms.

• DNS & Privacy Tooling
  Building user interfaces and utilities like dnscrypt-proxy-gui and DNSLookup for encrypted DNS protocols and robust network diagnostics.

• Network Defense & Monitoring
  Creating lightweight, accessible security tools such as HoneyScan (passive home honeypot) and Cripple-NetStrip (network hardening & debloating/sinkhole filtering).

• Creative Projects & Game Dev
  Designing indie games, producing artist films, and directing audiovisual experiments alongside interactive virtual spaces.

• Niche & Community Utilities
  Maintaining standalone clients and automation tools across the Python ecosystem.

💡 Why Sponsor Me?

Maintaining security-focused and system-level software requires continuous testing against OS updates, dependency audits, and edge-case fixes. Your sponsorship directly funds:

• Active Maintenance & Compatibility: Keeping system mitigation, firewall, and DNS tools updated as platform APIs and network standards evolve.
• Feature Development: Expanding GUI capabilities, adding native system integrations, and improving automated rule sets.
• Open Security Tooling: Keeping privacy and defense tools 100% free, open-source, and accessible to everyone.
• Creative Pipeline: Boosting my indie game development builds, artistic film productions, and audiovisual media projects.

Whether you're an individual securing your home network, relying on these tools daily, or following my creative projects, thank you for supporting independent open-source and creative work!
