ROOT AXIS LABS
_

On the bench

Refurbished laptops locked down for privacy, ESP32-based hardware you can open and modify, and apparel for people who read logs on weekends. Everything ships from Root Axis Labs.

Security & privacy workstations

ships in 3–5 days

Business-class refurbished chassis, brand-new storage, clean OS of your choice, full-disk encryption on, no preloaded security tooling and no vendor agents. Every unit gets a fresh firmware update and a photographed condition report before it ships.

We deliberately don't install Kali, Parrot, or tool bundles — dual-use software on hardware we ship is an export-control problem, and you should install your own toolchain anyway.
