THE LAB
Experiments
Interactive tools, visualizations, and prototypes. Each experiment is a standalone island, loading only what it needs.
Packet Tracer
Trace a packet from your phone to a web server, watch it hop through routers, ISPs, and exchanges. See what metadata each node can read.
EXP.02UPI Flow Tracer
Trace a ₹20 UPI payment step-by-step through PhonePe, NPCI, and banks. See what data each entity records about your transaction.
EXP.03Data Jurisdiction Explorer
Toggle data localisation on and off. See where payment data is stored and which jurisdictions have legal access, before and after RBI's 2018 mandate.
EXP.04Encryption Playground
Type a message, pick a cipher (Caesar, XOR, Substitution), and watch encryption happen in real time. Break ciphers with frequency analysis.
EXP.05DNS Resolver
Type a domain and watch recursive DNS resolution unfold, from root servers through TLD nameservers to the final IP address.
EXP.06Build Your Own Datafolk
Answer seven harmless questions and watch a stranger take shape — the version of you the data bazaar would assemble. Shareable; logs nothing.
