papers - System Monitoring Tool
I wanted to see if it was possible to build my own monitoring tool from scratch - no plug and play solution. And I wanted to do it for free.
Challenge: Create a Dashboard that gives me live asset statistics with a maximum of 10 seconds delay. And create it in less than 24 hours.
High Level Overview:
- install mysql
- install django REST API
- install grafana
- create resource collector script
- include api post
- create connector for grafana <> mysql
- create query dashboard in Grafana

tech - National Vulnerability Database Alerts
This has got to be one of my more favorite scripts I have written. I wanted a free way to be alerted of any new vulnerabilities (CVE's) that popped up on NVD's database, and this was my solution.
This script runs in AWS Lambda every hour, checks the database, and sends a message to Slack with all of the new vulns out there. Refer to the readme in the beginning of the code for more information. Email me if you want the Microsoft Teams version.
tools - Check check them out!
I wrote some a few interactive scripts over in the "tools" section of this website. Check 'em out!
For you networking people, checkout the IP Subnet Exploder (source file: ip_subnet_exploder.py)

papers - joys_of_lock_picking
A short story of how I learned to pick stuff. Picking locks isn't hard, and your stuff isn't as protected as you may have expected.
papers - safe_browsing
I have writen my first ever non-school or non-work paper, and it was fun. It is light-weight and geared for those who have little knowledge regarding the Internets :)
