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, my projects and general stuff that crosses my mind. Make sure you use encrypted mail when sending me any sensitive info.

Why sizeof(cat)?

Because +++ATH0 was taken.

Communication

If possible, one of:

$ gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-key D7BBF1EEE7B62BB98079F7684E2294B480A2C731

$ 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), if I’m Russian and I want to subvert the great American democracy (I don’t give a fuck) 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. */

Monero is an open-source cryptocurrency that focuses on privacy, decentralisation and scalability. Unlike many cryptocurrencies that are derivatives of Bitcoin, Monero is based on the CryptoNote protocol and possesses significant algorithmic differences relating to blockchain obfuscation.
