My name is Jason. This is the stuff that I do.
Recently I began organizing a bunch of pictures from old iPhone archives and beginning with the iPhone X I found that all of my offloaded pictures were in HEIC format. I’m sure if you’ve searched found and found this article you know what that means. That picture format has some definite benefits, but one down…
I wrote a previous post about a password breach database that I was able to find online. Since then I’ve found many more, and I’ve been using them to compile word lists for password cracking. Good word lists when combined with a tool like Hashcat or John are vital for any penetration testser, and what…

By default, Debian 9 comes with Remote Desktop Viewer installed. This utility is great for connecting directly to a Windows machine via RDP, but doesn’t work for connecting to a machine through an RDS Gateway.

Installation of the Pi, Audio, and LCD Controller To start off, I’m first going to say that I’m definitely not the first person to do this. I have to admit though, as soon as I saw the Arcade1Up cabinets, this is the first thing I thought about and knew that eventually I was going to…
For a couple days now I’ve been getting an annoying startup message from an Adobe app that launches at boot time on my MacBook Pro. After I log in and the GUI appears, I get a message that an Adobe application isn’t optimized for my Mac and that it needs to be updated. Uh, ok….

Explanation of the Switch’s Hardware Vulnerability Although not a totally new thing, the Nintendo Switch hacking and home-brew community has blown up over the past 6 months.
