About Me
Who are you?
I'm Buckwheat, or sometimes patchmeifucan in Cyber Security circles; and I wear quite a few hats. I'm a System Administrator that primarily deals with FreeBSD, I'm a Network Engineering and Cyber Security student, and I do some Systems Programming in my spare time. I've always had an interest in Offensive Security for my entire life but I also enjoy the Defensive Security work of DFIR and Malware Analysis.
I play around with all OSes but I particularly am a heavy user of the many flavours of BSD. Most of my Cyber Security knowledge is from hands-on tinkering in my spare time. I'm an entirely self-taught programmer, and I have familiarity with C, C++, Go, Lisp, Nim, JavaScript, Python, Racket, and Ruby. I'm also capable of reading x86 Assembly, but terrible at writing it myself.
Software I use in my daily life and in my research
I use a lot of different tools for my research of both Offensive Security and Defensive Security as well as my Systems Programming. I also use a lot of different tools in my day-to-day to make my life easier. Below is a curated list of what I especially use for the many tasks I perform in my life.

Footnotes:
I run these both on the same computer, but I swap between separate SSDs that each are dedicated to an install. I have a 3rd SSD for that same computer for running NetBSD as well.
Eventually being switched for NetBSD as well, is primarily kept for some personal things, I don't actually care much for Linux.
Also the very thing I make this website with!
Considering picking up Radare2 with a Decompiler Plugin as I wish to switch to using OpenBSD on one of my other computers for Malware Analysis and Ghidra's OpenBSD port is currently broken.
On Windows specifically when doing behavioural analysis of Windows Malware.
