Arch Linux user by day, dystopian architect by night. Exploring the intersection of system security and narrative decay.
Math, code, and darker stories.

Diving into hardware RE on a ZTE IX230P WiMAX router.
Popped RF shields to map the board, tracing copper, thermals, and the Maxim RF transceiver. Next up: firmware extraction. Loving the intersection of hardware, assembly, and exploit research.
Shoutout to Ilfak Guilfanov for IDA Pro—the ultimate telescope for translating binaries into logical graphs.

I was bored and curious that's also a reason

I started #sketching to work on my #comicbook.
It's philosophical and filled with great stuff and I created a 4 person board game for character development but I have a feeling it won't be received well because it's too realistic and because of the content, I think most people won't be able to read it but anyway yesterday was my day 2. I didn't draw but this is my day 1...what can I say?, the writing got me

No pristine white can ever save,
The wicked notes it holds so tight.
A bloody path from grave to grave,
The only music for this night.
Each chord struck is a violent scream,
The crimson finish, drying bone.
Lost inside this nightmare dream,
A tortured soul, left all alone.

#Pack2TheRoot: Critical #vulnerability in #Linux
Understanding #Pack2TheRoot (CVE-2026-41651)
It's"Local Privilege Escalation" (LPE) vulnerability. This means a standard user on a computer could exploit this bug to gain "root" access to that specific system.
It affects the PackageKit daemon, a background tool that many Linux desktop environments (like GNOME, KDE, XFCE).
Run update commands for your distro, you'll be good
