* About Me
My name is Jakob Kreuze (/ˈdʒeɪkəb ˈkɹuz/ and /ˈjaːkɔp ˈkʁɔʏ̯tsə/ are both acceptable pronunciations), and I'm a 25 year-old cybersecurity professional living in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia][Commonwealth of Virginia]]. Outside of work, I like to program and tinker with [[https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html][free software]], reverse engineer things, and hunt for security vulnerabilities. In the past, I've used the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_culture#Definition][traditional definition]] of "hacker" to describe myself. These days, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker#Security_related_hacking][vernacular meaning]] is a bit more accurate.
On the softer side, I love cooking (and eating) delicious food, running long distances, lifting weights, and playing old video games.
The best way to contact me is by email at zerodaysfordays (at) sdf.org. My GPG key fingerprint is [[https://jakob.space/static/gpg.txt][6581 A4FC 404F 6434 AEA3 008C 45ED 4DC3 05BA DA33]]. I'm also on Signal as @incellebrite.666.
I have a [[https://jakob.space/pages/about-complete.html][more detailed biography]] as well.

In general, I opt for "jakob" as a handle, settling for "0daysfordays" or "zerodaysfordays" if "jakob" was taken. Not every account with one of those handles is mine!
* About This Site
This is my personal website for showcasing the things I make. Currently, that is long-form writing in the form of blog posts.
The website is built using the [[https://dthompson.us/projects/haunt.html][Haunt]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_site_generator][static site generator]], but features some dynamic components that use Guile's =(http server)= module. The source code is available on [[https://git.sr.ht/~jakob/blog][Sourcehut]]. It started in 2015 as [[https://tsar-fox.com][tsar-fox.com]] and was written in [[https://web.archive.org/web/20161229222910/http://jakob.space/][Python]] using the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flask_(web_framework)][Flask]] web framework. In late 2018, I dropped that code base and began using the [[https://gohugo.io/][Hugo]] static site generator until mid 2019 when I began using Haunt. The [[https://web.archive.org/web/20161229222910/http://jakob.space/][Wayback Machine]] has several snapshots reaching back to December of 2016.
I am not currently aware of any attempts to censor this website. Nonetheless, I maintain mirrors on [[http://jakobyallfrbd3herebyee7hug3hxs2ma6aflmmllk35d7dyiwp3adid.onion/][Tor]] and [[http://mtgqjdrqqpovyhx7tortulrnvakbptsi3w5yintmo6lqapdd3hnq.b32.i2p][I2P]] should you have difficulty accessing this website in your locality.
I aim to be as transparent as possible about the use of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_artificial_intelligence][generative artificial intelligence]] on this website. Unless stated otherwise, all text and source code is written by myself.
** Symbology
The icon used on this website is a naval trident to symbolize strength and power. It was traced from [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Heraldic_Trident.svg][File:Heraldic Trident.svg]] (CC BY-SA 4.0). Previously, I had used an archaic [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda][Greek lambda]] in reference to its usage as notation in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language_theory][programming language theory]]. I think a tool is a better representation of myself and my values at this point in time.
