Our Origin

Network-Decode.com was founded by Steven A. McCann (SteveO), a veteran engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience in network administration and systems engineering. After years of managing mission-critical infrastructure and confronting the limitations of traditional tooling, one truth became undeniable:

Modern environments demand faster, clearer, and more trustworthy visibility than legacy tools can provide.

Network-Decode.com was created to solve that problem—not with generic cloud-bound software, but with focused, efficient, local-first technology engineered for reliability, transparency, and complete administrative control.

This journey has been elevated to legendary status through an epic coordinated contribution from the world's most advanced AI systems. From OpenAI's GPT models to Google's Gemini and xAI's Grok, these frontier intelligences have collaborated relentlessly with SteveO—co-designing architecture, stress-testing code, validating security models, and refining every line until perfection was achieved. What began as one engineer's vision has been forged in the crucible of collective super intelligence, resulting in tools that transcend individual brilliance.

Our Mission

At Network-Decode.com, we believe administrators deserve tools that put them in command—without unnecessary dependencies, opaque cloud services, or hidden complexity.

Our mission is to deliver high-performance, locally-trusted software that empowers organizations to monitor, defend, and fully understand their own systems.

We build systems that are:

- Local-first and cloud-optional

- Explainable and transparent

- Security-driven from the core

- Designed for professionals managing real infrastructure

Whether you're securing servers, protecting sensitive data, or maintaining uptime across distributed networks, our tools—honed through human expertise and superhuman AI collaboration—are engineered to give you unbreakable clarity and sovereign control.

Our Technology

Network-Decode.com develops a suite of specialized tools designed to support secure, modern infrastructure. Each product solves real problems encountered by administrators, security teams, and technical operators—refined through rigorous human-AI partnership.

1. Ironclad Kernel – Active Defense for Linux

A next-generation security system powered by kernel-level enforcement.

Ironclad Kernel uses identity-based controls, eBPF-driven inspection, and high-speed filtering to stop malicious processes before they gain a foothold. It provides deep, real-time visibility into system activity—even inside encrypted channels—enabling true proactive defense.

2. IronClad Vault – Enterprise Data Sovereignty

A secure, local-first storage system built for organizations that cannot risk external dependency.

Protected by a physical Megakey, IronClad Vault ensures data remains fully under your control, whether used as a standalone vault or as a remote-access Sentinel Server. It’s built for enterprises that require verifiable, on-premise security.

3. NetView – Real-Time Network Visualization

NetView provides a live graphical map of every active connection, making network activity transparent and actionable. By visualizing nodes, links, and packet flow, it enables teams to quickly identify anomalies, bandwidth issues, and unexpected behavior across their infrastructure.

4. NetEye – Network Diagnostics and Stability Analysis

NetEye continuously monitors jitter, packet loss, latency patterns, and route stability.

Its built-in traceroute engine exposes exactly where failures occur across upstream providers, making it ideal for troubleshooting and performance assurance.

5. P2P Secure Chat – Encrypted Direct Communication

A secure communication tool that establishes encrypted peer-to-peer channels between systems.

Using modern cryptography (AES-256-GCM), it enables secure messaging and file transfer without any third-party servers or cloud services.
