“Our group took rank 148 at CyberApocalypse 2025 hosted by Hack The Box. The CyberApocalypse: Tales from Eldoria 2025 finished as an event that provided me exceptional outcomes. The competition used hard technical tests to test candidates' skills across cryptography, reverse engineering, digital forensics, AI, machine learning and web security focus areas. The hard tasks pushed us to develop fast solutions as well as enhance our abilities to handle problems under stressful conditions. All of my…”
“I built it for myself, but I thought others might find it useful. I plan to add support for more 2FA app's formats in the future. It's still early, but I'd love help improving it. So feel free to contribute to the project. #opensource #privacy #linux #2FA”

“I know passkeys are taking over, but I still end up typing TOTP 2FA codes multiple times a day. I love and use the Aegis app on Android, but having to reach for my phone every time a website asked for a 2FA code was very annoying. I got annoyed enough to try to fix it. 👇”
“This is actually cool. I’ve been meaning to figure out what I can run locally on my machine. I genuinely like this. Time to see how much I can squeeze out of my machine.”
