About

Content

This is a personal blog which might contain a wide range of things.

Things you might find here:

• notes on some open source work I have done.
• notes resulting on personal research I have done which I wanted to be easily available;
• some notes and tips I occasionally want to share with some some people;
• description of vulnerabilities I found;
• description of vulnerabilities I have worked on.

Some of the topics which might be covered:

• software engineering and development;
• cybersecurity and vulnerabilities;
• networks and protocols;
• operating-system stuff;
• artifical intelligence, machine learning;
• society.

The content (citations, code samples, illustrations, figures) of this website has been carefully by an actual human being (me):

• The content which has not been made by me should be clearly identifiable as such.
• I assume that the reader knows where to look when seeking AI generated content and don't need to find some more here. AI-generated content might be present as citations or in images when discussing some aspects of generative AI.
