About

This blog is intended to be a collection of technical pieces, focusing on lite experiments, research projects, CTF challenges etc. The idea is to focus on failures: not to just write about projects that succeed and dress up solutions as if they were easy , but to highlight all the (many) failed experiments, CTF challenges, and document the thinking process. The downside to this is that it becomes rambly and over-long, whereas writeups of successful CTF challenge solves in retrospect have the benefit of succinctness.

The site is built with jekyll, the theme is a chimera of hamilton, and yorha css theme, the title font is monsieur-la-doulaise.

AI policy:

The content of this site is not AI written. I often use LLMs to create scripts, debug problems and help with terminal commands, but I do not and do not intend to use it to write the actual body of text for the posts on this site. Which you can probably tell by how shit the writing is. I also generally avoid it for image creation, but have no real policy either way for that.

The site is hosted in a public S3 bucket with a custom domain behind AWS Cloudfront
