A bit about me

I'm a penetration tester who spends way too much time at their desk. When I'm not looking for vulnerabilities, I'm probably writing code (more vibe coding these days), studying something I find neat, or losing hours to a game I told myself I'd only play for an hour.

This site exists because Medium's CloudFlare WAF keeps blocking my hacking blogs. Here I write about what I've been up to, CTF writeups, coding projects, game stuff, and whatever else crosses my mind. Really just a lot of random words
