About yi5

Hey! I'm yi5, just some nerd who likes breaking and building things on the internet.

What I'm about

I spend way too much time staring at terminals and code. Started with cybersec stuff in early school because I was curious how things work under the hood, and it kinda spiraled from there. Now I mess around with all sorts of tech.

Things I do

  • Code random projects when I get ideas at 3am
  • Make the occasional YouTube FPV videos when I feel like it
  • Write stuff here sometimes
  • (Play lots of games such as Star Citizen)

Where to find me

  • GitHub (@0x796935): My code dumps live here
  • YouTube (My Channel): Random tech videos when I'm motivated
  • Discord (Join Here): Come hang out, we don't bite
  • Bluesky (@0x796935.bsky.social): For when I have random thoughts
  • This Blog: You're already here lol

Stuff I believe in

Open source is cool. Privacy matters. Don't be a dick with exploits. Learn by doing, not just reading. Caffeine is essential.

Current Interests

Lately, I've been exploring:

  • Web security and vulnerability research
  • Modern development frameworks and practices
  • Self-hosting and digital independence
  • Privacy-focused tools and alternatives
  • Community building in digital spaces

Hit me up

Always down to chat about security, coding, or whatever. Just don't ask me to hack your ex's Instagram.

Fun Facts

  • I prefer terminal interfaces over GUIs for most tasks (I use arch btw)
  • My setup is probably simpler than you'd expect
  • Caffeine (RedBull/Monster) fuels most of my coding sessions ☕
  • I enjoy the puzzle-solving aspect of cybersecurity challenges

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find something interesting here! :3
