status: online, still tinkering

Tommy
McLoughlin.

Self-taught hak/dev — I've had my hands in computers since I was 8 years old, and thirty-five years later I still spend most nights building tools nobody asked for because they're fun to build. IRC scripting, wireless security, and Windows internals are where I live.

Active Dev

Obsidian IRC Studio

A full mIRC scripting IDE — editor, checker, and sandboxed IRC client in one shell.
  • Syntax-aware editor with color highlighting and inline error lookup, so you catch mistakes before you connect.
  • Built-in sandboxed IRC client to test scripts live — no risk of embarrassing yourself on a real network.
  • Ready-made script library — pick an add-on, hit edit, make it yours.

In Development

Obsidian WiFi Auditor

A wireless auditing and pentest toolkit for Windows — with monitor mode where Windows says you can't have it.
  • Packet injection support for real-world wireless testing.
  • Monitor mode on Windows via a custom npcap driver — no dual-boot required.
  • Network diagnostics built in, so it earns its keep even outside a pentest.

Driver Backup

A small, sharp tool: back up every driver, then restore them all with one click.
  • Backs up every installed driver in a couple of clicks.
  • Generates a self-running installer that puts everything back exactly where it was.
  • Built to save the hours a clean Windows reinstall usually costs.

ISO Boot Assistant

Analyze, verify, and boot ISO images straight from Windows — no USB or disc required.
  • UEFI, BIOS/MBR, and El Torito detection with SHA-256 verification.
  • Reads your Secure Boot status and firmware mode straight off the machine.
  • Mount an ISO or jump straight into UEFI firmware or Advanced Startup.

I picked up my first computer at 8 years old and never really put it back down. Thirty-five years later that's turned into a habit of building tools that scratch a very specific itch — an IRC scripting environment that doesn't make you test blind, a way to get proper wireless monitor mode on Windows, a driver backup tool that just works.

Most of what's in this toybox started life as a batch script or a one-off .NET app written to fix something annoying, and got polished up because I couldn't leave it alone. If it lives in a terminal, talks over IRC, or pokes at a wireless card, there's a decent chance I've already built a tool for it — or I'm currently building one.
