At net-runner.sh, hardware consulting focuses on security, privacy, and resilience.
The goal is to help NGOs, journalists, and individuals make informed decisions about their digital tools and infrastructure.

• Support in setting up encrypted systems
  Guidance and assistance in installing, configuring, and maintaining encrypted operating systems, storage, and communication setups.

• Attack vector analysis
  Evaluating possible threats and vulnerabilities based on the background and risk profile of the commissioning person or organization.

• Consulting for personal protection
  Tailored advice for at-risk individuals on how to secure devices, accounts, and communications, with a focus on usability and sustainability.

Approach

• Practical, vendor-independent recommendations
