About me

Hi. I'm Alix.

I'm a computer nerd who likes to code, tinker with hardware, software and hack things. I'm also a big fan of the game Elite: Dangerous.

I use Windows 10 on my main pc, macOS Sequoia on my macbook. I use Linux for many IoT things and servers. I like open source stuff in general :>

Full specs are available here, if you're curious :>

My interests/hobbies in more detail:

• Programming/Coding


• I use many languages but the ones I am the most familiar with are javascript, C++, C# and Python. I also have some experience with C and Commodore BASIC(old stuff, crazy). although I am not a fan of C, to put it lightly.


• Some things I've made:


• Two extensions for Kiwi IRC, one of which detects supercruise times from the game Elite: Dangerous in messages and calculates how long it will take to travel there and injects it into the message. Intended to be used by members of the Fuelrats


• The other extension is only really designed to be used by members of the Fuelrats. To sum it up: the extension detects certain words that many people have set up to ping on and plays a custom sound depending on which one is detected since Kiwi IRC doesn't support custom sounds for alerts.


• Something I have contributed to is a github repository with information about hacking one of dlink's cloud only cameras. I shared some useful information regarding various settings etc among other things


• Hardware


• I like to tinker with hardware a lot, like a LOT. Just to name a few things:


• I have a homelab with a Dell R230 running various things


• I have too many computers to count.


• I like to tinker with iDevices. I have many working (and broken) iPhones lying around.


• Hacking


• I have participated in a few CTFs and while I haven't won in any of them I have learnt a lot


• One of the CTFs I participated in ended with me and a friend going to Stockholm for a meetup arranged by the group that held the CTF. It was very interesting but there weren't a lot of people my age, mostly older people.
  
  A cool thing to note is that one of the 14 crypto officers held a presentation there about cryptology and it was pretty interesting.


• I have also done some hacking via HackTheBox and learned quite a bit from it.


• Other things I'm interested in:


• Cryptocurrency/Mining


• Nature


• Photography


• Gardening


• 3D Modelling


• Artificial Intelligence


• Games
