Hello, my name is Christoff Humphries living in the Dallas area in Texas, USA. I worked as a professional programmer and *nix sysadmin/DBA for 20 years before pivoting into offensive security where I've worked as a pentester since 2020.

I like to hack things, and this website will be all about us learning together as I hopefully build something of substance. Ultimately, this is a learning vehicle for you and me! I've been using a *nix as my primary daily driver workstation since 1995 (primarily GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and now macOS), and have done some really good things with computing, so want to share that back out. It's a lot to do and be big undertaking, so may be a while till it is ready.

I live in with my beautiful girlfriend and our five cats that have an amazing cat wall.

Right now I'm working on planning out building a C2 from scratch that supports many protocols, supports plugins, supports all the normal C2 stuff you expect, including implants and agents and whatnot. I don't know how to do it all but I know how to do a great portion of it. I'm going code it all in either Perl 5+Moose or Kotlin (the programming language is an extreme secondary but I don't want to repeat of what's out there, it needs to be something that's not easy to copy from somewhere else, forcing us to learn it all ourselves... also I happen to like coding in Kotlin and Perl 5 [and never coded a big project with Moose]) for the server portion and likely C or C++ for the agent/malware running on endpoints. A C2 MVP product is merely an artifact of learning.

I'm a big fan of devopsifying all-the-things so that will be a common trait, assume Docker and Ansible will be a part of the party.

Ideally I wouldn't post anything until something is completed or started, but here we are... this mess will likely be cleaned up once the ball gets rolling!
