About me

I am an independent security researcher, software developer, malware analyst, and filterlist maintainer. My main filterlist is The malicious website blocklist, though I also help maintain DandelionSprout's Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool
I have found a few minor security vulnerabilities, but nothing major. Mainly, I hunt down Windows malware and scam websites.
I often report minor issues (i.e., typos, broken links) to project and website maintainers, but do not really have a record of that

Technical skills

I can program fairly well in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Batch, Bash, and Python 3.
I can do some programming in VBS, Powershell, PHP, and Windows JScript, and know a (extremely) small amount of C.
I have written browser extensions and websites.
I do malware analysis and research scam and phishing websites in my spare time.
I know my way around Windows and Linux/Linux-based systems (Microsoft Windows 10/11, Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS, Tails, Kali, and Google ChromeOS) using both the GUI and command line, and a fair bit about the user-friendly side of iOS
