Stack

Apps and tools I actually use, grouped by what they're for.

Security

  • TryHackMe

    Guided labs that make security concepts hands-on instead of theoretical. The streak feature is doing terrible, wonderful things to my free time.

  • Wireshark

    Watching my own network traffic was the moment networking stopped being abstract. Everyone should do it once.

  • Bitwarden

    Open-source password manager. Practicing what the Security+ book preaches.

Dev

  • VS Code

    Where this site gets built. Dark theme, obviously.

  • GitHub

    Version control for code and, thanks to this site's JSON-files-as-database setup, for my entire life's content too.

Daily

  • Obsidian

    Study notes, exam prep, and half-finished essay drafts. Local markdown files — no one's cloud, no one's subscription.

  • Spotify

    Soundtrack for closing shifts and study sessions. See the Listening page.
