New here?

If you're new here, these three posts are a good place to start. They're representative of what I like writing about: technical rabbit holes, reverse engineering, product systems, and odd corners of the internet.

1. Illegal streams, decrypting m3u8's, and building a better stream experience - A look at illegal sports streams, how they piggyback real services, and what it took to build a better viewing client.

2. Obfuscated javascript, scam emails, and American Express - Reverse-engineering obfuscated JavaScript from scam emails and tracing the campaign back to its command-and-control server.

3. Ryanair, Hamiltonian Cycles, and using graph theory to find cheap flights - Using graph theory to plan a cheap European trip through Ryanair's network, then turning the idea into a tool other people can use.
