2011: The first router we got to test #RPKI support.
@alexband Just when I was complaining (kinda) about badly written documentation, a nice positive example appears in the timeline :)

I'm obsessed with good #documentation and the Routinator user manual on #ReadTheDocs is my pride and joy.

We worked very hard to seamlessly integrate the manual page into it as well, allowing us to automatically link command line options, but we also wanted it to be the canonical source for building the the manpage with rst2man. This saves us from keeping content in sync and messing with troff(1).

Lists, pinning hashtags and the advanced web interface is all very well done. Currently rolling with these columns.
Plans, plans, so many plans for our #DNS projects in 2023: Catalog Zones, XDP, PROXYv2 for NSD, #DNSSEC signing support in the domain crate, and more... ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿš€ #OpenSource #clang #rustlang

As part of our ongoing partnership with @tweedegolf, they will implementing High Availability setups for Krill, our #RPKI Certificate Authority and Publication Server in #Rust. This will allow cluster configurations with multiple active nodes. All #OpenSource of course!

RPKI Tools - Krill

Krill is a free, open source RPKI Certificate Authority that lets you run delegated RPKI under one or multiple Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). Through its built-in publication server, Krill can publish Route Origin Authorisations (ROAs) on your own servers or with a third party. Delegated RPKI, Simplified Krill offers several โ€ฆ

I'm still on the job hunt. I'm an experienced C developer who spends
his free time doing operating systems development with a focus on
#infosec. I'm known for writing defensive and offensive tooling,
exploit mitigations and post-exploitation tools alike. I have fifteen
years professional experience with over two decades of hobbyist
experience. I'm the cofounder of #HardenedBSD, an open source
enterprise operating system based on #FreeBSD that implements a
growing number of exploit mitigations and security hardening
mechanisms.

I'm based out of Columbia, MD, USA and would prefer remote jobs. My
wife and I have a long-term goal of moving to Colorado in order to be
closer to family.

I'm passionate about anything in infosec, especially on the
development side of the house. I love developing purpose-built
solutions that carry a tangible human impact.

I have some experience with #Python, mostly dealing with well-formed,
structured data (like JSON, XML, etc.)

I'm spending my spare time learning #RustLang.

Here's my resume/CV:

The @EU_Commission should and could start a Working Group on protecting decentralised solutions like #Mastodon and others from the copyright extremists and other (patent) trolls to establish ActivityPub as a true open way for citizens to communicate and liberate themselves from centralised, non-EU companies. It's a HUGE opportunity, IMHO!
Okay, that's it... #riptwitter
