About
Very few of us are what we seem. Agatha Christie, The Man in the Mist
Feel free to browse around and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what this is about. I write about security, privacy, vulnerabilities and exploits, retro computing, music, various programming languages, projects and general stuff that crosses my mind. Make sure you use encrypted email when sending me any sensitive info.
I am not a pirate, but a corsair.

Communication

$ curl -sf https://sizeof.cat/sizeofcat.asc | gpg --import
And send me an email.
I especially love the emails asking if I am really a cat (no, i’m not a cat but if it’s important for you to talk to a cat I’m pretty sure we can work something out, my Monero address is below) or if I can download this PDF file from this totally legit website (sure, why not, what could go wrong).
/* Let's do this in Javascript because everybody knows JS. */
const domain = "riseup.net";
let email = "sizeofcat" + '@' + domain;
/* Yes, that's my email address. */
/* Or ...*/
const secondary_domain = 'disroot.org';
let secondary_email = 'sizeofcat' + "@" + secondary_domain;
/* ... use my secondary email address. */
