  • Instant disposable environments. Spin up isolated dev environments in seconds that are automatically destroyed when done.
  • Git repository loading. Clone and work with any Git repo directly inside the sandbox.
  • Secure port and service exposure. Expose ports and services safely without exposing your host network.
  • Browser-based VS Code. Launch a full VS Code instance in the browser from within the sandbox.
  • Reproducible environment sharing. Create shareable links that reproduce the exact sandbox state for collaborators.
  • Point-in-time backups. Rollback a sandbox to a previous state using built-in backup snapshots.
  • CLI installation. Install Pocketenv via a single curl command for quick local access.

VirtuProbe Studio features

  • Scripting. JavaScript and Groovy editors let you add loops, custom logic and assertions to probes.
  • MITM proxy & service virtualization. Mock, rewrite or intercept traffic locally without a cloud.
  • Test suites & CI integration. Group chains with setup/teardown, get JUnit reports and raw byte evidence for CI pipelines.
  • Fuzzing & raw-TCP/UDP probes. Generate malformed packets, wordlist iterators and freestyle probes for security testing.
  • Agent access over MCP. Allow coding agents to author, run and read back tests securely using stored credentials.
