Hi, I'm r000t. I'm a Linux sysadmin (running gentoo btw), Python programmer, and information security enthusiast/researcher. More than anything else though, I'm an Ekko one-trick. I've never played another champion, he means the whole world to me, and he's about the only thing I'm capable of taking seriously.

My big technical project at the moment is fediEngine, a cross-platform, native ActivityPub client written in PyQt5. Its primary design goals are bypassing censorship, improving user safety, and being very light on system resources. You should read my post about it. You can also grab an unstable preview alpha copy at fediengine.org.

I do most of this stuff professionally, but because my attention span is absolutely destroyed, and there's just no fucking way I'm passing a drug test, I only do it as a contractor.

Social Media

Discord: r000t#0001

Mastodon: I'm serious at infosec.exchange and I shitpost at ligma.pro, which has been cancelled by the more tumblr-y parts of the Fediverse.

Twitch: I'll start streaming League at GNUr000t very soon, I promise. Any day now.

Twitter: Twitter is trash. Anybody on Twitter claiming to be me, isn't. Use Mastodon or Pleroma instead.

Old Blag Posts

Articles on my old Wordpress blog will eventually be made static and put here. The Internet Archive may have you covered until I get around to it. If you're looking for something specific, I may be able to find and send it over if you get in touch. You may be interested in:

• My article on the League of Legends "Instant Feedback System" being a slightly-modified email spam filter, how humans almost never review chat logs, and how "Riot Support" is actually college students in Washington state.


• My hitpiece on "Mean Texas Lawyer" Jason Lee Van Dyke trying to sue the Tor Project and threatening many, many people with his many, many guns over a revenge porn .onion


• My dump of shit found on Julius "Zeekill" Kivimaki's dedicated server after starfall pwnt it

People I've Pissed Off

I've pissed off a lot of people, including:

• Lizard Squad
• The entirety of 4chan at any given point
• Various other *chans
• Retired Naperville Detective Rich "SQL is illegal encryption software" Wistocki
• Riot Games' support contractor
• Jason Lee Van Dyke
• vinnie "nogainz" omari
• And I've made it quite clear to the feds that if Zeekill ever steps foot on U.S. soil, that they had better get to him before I do. Because I don't do that whole 8th amendment thing.
