Quick Note In my previous article, I mentioned that Linux Troubleshooting Flow for Beginners would be the final post in this series. While preparing it, I realized there were a few practical Linux skills every beginner should learn first. These topics will make the troubleshooting guide much easier to understand and follow. Before we wrap up the series, we'll cover: Package Management Finding Files & Text Viewing Files Efficiently File Compression Then we'll bring everything together in the final Linux Troubleshooting Flow for Beginners. Introduction Installing software on Linux is very different from Windows. On Windows, you usually download an .exe installer. On Linux, software is typically installed and managed using package managers . This is one of the most practical skills every Linux beginner should learn early. What is a Package? A package is a ready-to-install bundle that contains: The main program Required libraries Configuration files Documentation Examples: nginx , git , docker , curl , vim Think of a package as a ready-to-install software box. What is a Package Manager? A package manager is a tool that installs, updates, removes, and manages software packages. Instead of downloading software manually, you simply run a command. Example: sudo apt install git The package manager automatically: Downloads packages from trusted repositories Install required dependencies automatically Upgrade installed software Removes them cleanly Instead of manual downloading, you just run one command. Why Use a Package Manager? Without package managers, you would have to: Search for software manually Download files from websites Install dependencies yourself Update each application separately Package managers automate all of this. What is a Repository? Package managers download software from repositories. A repository is a trusted online collection of software packages maintained by your Linux distribution. Instead of downloading software from random websites, Linux install

Hi folks! This is Mark Tony , a fresher to this field of technology from the UG Physics background. In a way, I'm pursuing my desire which I missed during my college days. My new venture begins along with @payilagam_135383b867ea296 Where I'm doing my Full stack developer course right now. I'm excited and enthusiastic about learning and becoming a developer. Dev community kick starts my journey 😉😊

I didn't go to a university for computer science. I have a B.Tech in Geophysics. What I know about...

Ask a room full of engineers to name the most popular integrated circuit ever made and you will hear guesses about famous microprocessors or memory chips. The real answer is far humbler: an eight-pin timer chip designed in 1971 that is still manufactured by the billion every single year. It is the 555 timer , and more than half a century after its debut it remains one of the first chips a student wires up and one of the last a veteran gives up on. A chip designed by one engineer The 555 was designed by Swiss-born engineer Hans Camenzind , working under contract to Signetics , and it reached the market in 1972. What made it remarkable was not raw speed or complexity but flexibility. Inside its tiny package sit a couple of dozen transistors, a handful of resistors, and two voltage comparators arranged around a simple voltage divider. Feed it a supply voltage, add one or two external resistors and a capacitor, and it will generate precise time delays and oscillations without any software at all. That analog-first design philosophy is exactly why it endured. By some estimates the 555 has been produced at a rate of around a billion units a year for decades, which comfortably earns it the title of probably the most popular IC ever made. It has flown on spacecraft, blinked in toys, and sat quietly on countless hobbyist breadboards. What the 555 actually does The 555 has three classic operating modes, and understanding them covers most of what you will ever need: Monostable — one stable state. A trigger produces a single output pulse of a fixed length set by an external resistor and capacitor. Think of a debounced button press or a timed relay. Astable — no stable state. The output oscillates continuously between high and low, producing a square wave. This is your blinking LED, your simple tone generator, or a rough clock source. Bistable — a basic flip-flop that latches between two states, useful as a simple set/reset memory element. None of this requires firmware, a cryst

Automation is the part of DevOps that actually earns the title. Day 6 was two of the most everyday automation tasks there are, and both had a trap sitting in plain sight. One Linux task, one AWS task. Schedule a recurring job with cron, and launch an EC2 instance from the AWS CLI. The tasks come from the KodeKloud Engineer platform if you want the same lab to work through. Cron: five fields, one rule that trips everyone Cron is the scheduler that has quietly run Linux automation for decades. You hand it a job and a schedule, and its daemon, crond, wakes up every minute to check whether anything is due. If that daemon is not running, nothing fires, so the first move is making sure it is installed and enabled. # Become root sudo su - # Install the cron daemon if it is missing yum install cronie -y # Enable it at boot, start it now, and confirm it is alive systemctl enable crond.service systemctl start crond.service systemctl status crond.service cronie is the package name on RHEL-family distros. enable makes the service survive a reboot, start brings it up right now, and status is how you confirm it is actually running instead of assuming it is. Now edit the crontab: # Edit the current user's crontab crontab -e # minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week command 0 2 * * * /path/to/script.sh # List what is currently scheduled crontab -l That line runs the script every day at 2am. The five fields, in order, are minute, hour, day of month, month, and day of week: minute: 0 to 59 hour: 0 to 23 day of month: 1 to 31 month: 1 to 12 day of week: 0 to 7, where both 0 and 7 mean Sunday Here is the rule that quietly breaks schedules. When you set both the day-of-month field and the day-of-week field to something other than a star, cron treats them as OR, not AND. So 0 0 13 * 5 does not mean midnight on Friday the 13th. It means midnight on every 13th of the month, and also every Friday, whichever lands first. If you actually want the AND, you restrict one field in cron and che

In this blog post, we will see how to performance test a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) application properly, covering both speed and correctness, and how to wire both into a CI/CD pipeline so regressions get caught before they reach production. Performance testing a RAG application requires two separate testing gates: one for speed and one for answer quality. Traditional load testing tools measure response times but cannot detect hallucinations, where a model returns fast but factually incorrect answers grounded in fabricated context rather than retrieved documents. The guide demonstrates using k6 for load testing end-to-end latency and DeepEval for evaluating faithfulness and answer relevancy using an LLM-as-judge approach. Both gates are integrated into a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline so regressions in either performance or output quality are caught automatically on every pull request before reaching production. If you've come from a JMeter or k6 background like I have, your first instinct with a RAG endpoint is probably to point a load test at it and check response times. That gets you halfway there. A RAG app can return a fast, confident, completely wrong answer, and a plain load test will never tell you that. You need two testing surfaces, not one: performance and quality. This guide covers both, using a single running example throughout: a documentation assistant that answers "How do I run JMeter in non-GUI mode?" against a small knowledge base. Why RAG breaks traditional load testing assumptions A conventional API returns a complete response and you measure the round trip. A RAG endpoint does two expensive things before it answers: it retrieves context from a vector store or search index, then it streams a generated response token by token. That second part matters a lot. A single request can stream hundreds of tokens over several seconds, so "request duration" as a single number hides two very different problems: how long the model took to start answe

Building an AI agent sounds complicated. It's not. By the end of this guide, you'll have a working agent that can search the web, remember conversations, and handle multi-step tasks. No frameworks, just TypeScript and an LLM API. What We're Building A research assistant agent that: Takes questions from users Uses tools (web search) when needed Remembers conversation history Handles errors without crashing Runs in about 150 lines of TypeScript This won't be production-ready, but it'll work and you'll understand every line. Prerequisites You need: Node.js 18 or higher Basic TypeScript knowledge An Anthropic API key ( get one free ) That's it. No prior AI experience needed. Setup (5 minutes) # Create project mkdir research-agent cd research-agent npm init -y # Install dependencies npm install @anthropic-ai/sdk dotenv # Install dev dependencies npm install -D typescript @types/node tsx # Initialize TypeScript npx tsc --init Create .env : ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = your-key-here Step 1: Define Your Types Create src/types.ts : export interface Message { role : ' user ' | ' assistant ' ; content : string ; } export interface Tool { name : string ; description : string ; input_schema : { type : ' object ' ; properties : Record < string , any > ; required ?: string []; }; execute : ( input : any ) => Promise < string > ; } Why these types matter: Strong typing prevents bugs. If you change how a tool works, TypeScript tells you everywhere that breaks. Step 2: Create a Simple Tool Create src/tools/search.ts : import { Tool } from ' ../types ' ; export const searchTool : Tool = { name : ' search_web ' , description : ' Search the internet for current information. Use this when you need facts, recent events, or data you do not know. ' , input_schema : { type : ' object ' , properties : { query : { type : ' string ' , description : ' The search query ' , }, }, required : [ ' query ' ], }, execute : async ( input : { query : string }) => { console . log ( `[Tool] Searching for: ${ input

I recently worked through the classic Word Break problem in an interview. My approach was solid from the start — recursion with memoization, a breakable helper that tests every prefix and recurses on the rest. The logic was right. What slowed me down was everything around the logic. Here's the solution I landed on: class Solution { public: bool wordBreak ( string s , vector < string >& wordDict ) { unordered_set < string > dict ( wordDict . begin (), wordDict . end ()); unordered_map < size_t , bool > memo ; return breakable ( s , dict , memo , 0 ); // missed: breakable was a free function defined below -> "not declared in this scope" } private : // missed: had int here, compared against s.length() (size_t) -> sign-compare warnings bool breakable ( const string & s , const unordered_set < string >& dict , unordered_map < size_t , bool >& memo , size_t starting ) { if ( starting == s . length ()) return true ; if ( memo . count ( starting )) return memo [ starting ]; for ( size_t e = starting + 1 ; e <= s . length (); e ++ ) { string word = s . substr ( starting , e - starting ); // missed: shadowed an outer `word`, and had substr(starting, e) instead of e - starting if ( dict . count ( word ) && breakable ( s , dict , memo , e )) { memo [ starting ] = true ; // missed: wrote == instead of =, so success was never cached return true ; } } memo [ starting ] = false ; // missed: this line, so failures were never cached and memoization broke down return false ; } }; The real lesson Most of what tripped me up was syntax and scope — a function declared in the wrong place, signed/unsigned mismatches, a shadowed variable, == where I meant = . None of these were about the algorithm. But because I spent my time chasing them, I had less room to focus on the one thing that actually matters in this problem: the logical correctness of the memoization. The takeaway I'm keeping: get the syntax and scoping clean early, so the debugging budget goes toward logic, not typos. That's the

A few months ago I didn't know much about coding. Today I have a full stack marketplace running with a real API, a live database, user authentication, image uploads, messaging and a React frontend. The Idea Kisumu has a huge secondhand clothes market. Mitumba is everywhere — Kibuye market, roadside stalls, WhatsApp groups. But there is no dedicated digital platform for it. If you want to sell a jacket in Kondele you have no easy way to reach buyers in your area. If you want to find size L shoes in CBD you have to physically go and look. I wanted to build something that solved a real local problem. Not another todo app. Not another weather app. Something that could actually help people in my city. That is how Kisumu Marketplace was born. The Tech Stack I Chose I built the backend in Go using the Gin framework. The database is PostgreSQL hosted on Neon.tech — a free cloud database that saved me more than once when my laptop broke. Authentication uses JWT tokens and bcrypt for password hashing. Images are uploaded to Cloudinary. The frontend is React with Tailwind CSS. I chose Go because Zone 01 teaches it and I wanted to go deep on one language rather than shallow on many. I chose PostgreSQL because it is the industry standard and learning it properly matters. I chose React because it is the most in-demand frontend framework and I wanted to build something real with it. What I Learned I learned Go from scratch while building this. I learned React from scratch while building this. I learned PostgreSQL, JWT, bcrypt, Cloudinary, Tailwind, axios, React Router and more — all by needing them for this project. The most valuable thing I learned is that you understand something properly only when you build with it. Reading about JWT is nothing like debugging a 401 Unauthorized error at midnight. I also learned that documentation is a skill. Writing this article, explaining how things work, is making me understand my own project better.

TL;DR Converting HDR10 to SDR with a naive FFmpeg command gives you grey, washed-out video. The fix is tone mapping. We will detect HDR with ffprobe , run two working tone-map chains ( zscale on CPU, libplacebo on GPU) in FFmpeg 8.0, compare operators, and batch it. Test the commands on your own build before shipping. 📦 Code: github.com/USER/hdr-to-sdr, replace before publishing If you have ever run an HDR clip through your normal pipeline and gotten back something flat and foggy, this post is for you. The bug is that HDR and SDR are different color systems, and "just converting" reinterprets one as the other. We will use FFmpeg 8.0 "Huffman" (8.0.2 is current as of May 2026). Why naive conversion fails HDR10 SDR Transfer function PQ (SMPTE ST 2084) gamma 2.4 / BT.1886 Color primaries Rec.2020 (wide) BT.709 (narrow) Peak luminance ~1,000 to 4,000 nits ~100 nits A command that ends in -pix_fmt yuv420p with no tone mapping reads PQ-encoded, Rec.2020 values as if they were SDR. The gamut gets crushed with no intelligence and the brightness curve is misread. Hence the fog. 1. Detect whether a file is even HDR 🔍 Do not tone-map SDR files. Check first: # detect transfer characteristics and primaries ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 \ -show_entries stream = color_transfer,color_primaries,color_space \ -of default = noprint_wrappers = 1 input.mkv HDR10 content reports something like: color_space = bt2020nc color_transfer = smpte2084 color_primaries = bt2020 If color_transfer is smpte2084 (PQ) or arib-std-b67 (HLG), you have HDR and you need to tone-map. If it says bt709 , leave it alone. 2. The libplacebo path (GPU, my default) 🚀 libplacebo is the Vulkan-accelerated filter in FFmpeg 8.0. It follows the ITU tone-mapping recommendations and handles the color conversions internally, so the command is short: ffmpeg -i input.mkv \ -vf "libplacebo=tonemapping=bt.2390:colorspace=bt709:color_primaries=bt709:color_trc=bt709:format=yuv420p" \ -c :v libx264 -crf 20 -c :a copy \ ou

With over 5 years in customer support and retention, I've lost count of how many times I've seen the same pattern: a customer explains an issue, gets it "resolved," and then has to explain the same problem again weeks later, as if the first conversation never happened. Support systems forget. Customers don't. That frustration, seen over years on the support side, is what led me to this hackathon project. Most support systems and most AI chatbots treat every interaction as isolated. They don't remember. So patterns that should be obvious (repeated complaints, dropping usage, unresolved issues) never get connected until a customer just leaves. That became the seed for my project: the Retention Risk Agent. The Problem With "Forgetful" AI Most AI tools answer questions in the moment, then forget everything. Ask a chatbot about a customer's history, and it only knows what's in that single message, not what happened last week, last month, or across five different support tickets. For churn prediction, that's a fatal flaw. Churn isn't a single event. It's a pattern, a series of small signals that only make sense when viewed together over time. This is something I understand deeply from years of watching it happen firsthand. Cognee is an open-source memory layer for AI agents. Instead of treating each interaction as isolated, it builds a knowledge graph, connecting facts, relationships, and context across everything you feed it. That's exactly what churn detection needed. What I Built I created a Python script that: Ingests customer records (support tickets, usage patterns, plan changes) Uses Cognee to build a memory graph connecting these signals Asks a simple question: "Which customers show signs of churn risk, and why?" The result wasn't a keyword match; it was reasoning. The agent correctly flagged a customer whose usage dropped 80% and who'd ignored two check-in emails. It flagged another who'd complained twice about slow support and mentioned a competitor. And critica

I build one small browser tool a day and write down what I learned. Day 25 was a UUID generator. What started as "make some random IDs" turned into a proper look at how the bits are laid out, and why the newer v7 format is quietly the better default for a primary key. Live tool: https://dev48v.infy.uk/solve/day25-uuid.html A UUID is just 16 bytes with a few fixed bits A UUID is a 128-bit number, written as 32 hex digits grouped 8-4-4-4-12 . That is about 3.4x10^38 possible values, which is the whole point: any machine can pick one and trust it will not clash with any other UUID minted anywhere, ever. It carries no meaning — it is an identifier, not data. The reason UUIDs exist at all is coordination. The classic database ID is 1, 2, 3... from a central counter, and that works great until you have more than one writer. Two servers, an offline mobile app, or a sharded database cannot all ask one counter for the next number without a round-trip and a lock. UUIDs sidestep that entirely: each node generates its own IDs locally, with zero coordination, and they still do not collide. A client can even create the ID before the row ever reaches the server. Version 4: 122 random bits v4 is the one most people mean by "UUID". Fill all 16 bytes with cryptographic randomness, then overwrite two small fields so tools can recognise the format: const b = new Uint8Array ( 16 ); crypto . getRandomValues ( b ); // never Math.random() b [ 6 ] = ( b [ 6 ] & 0x0f ) | 0x40 ; // version 4 b [ 8 ] = ( b [ 8 ] & 0x3f ) | 0x80 ; // variant 10xx Two things get pinned. The high nibble of byte 6 becomes 4 — that is the digit right after the second hyphen, and it is how any parser knows the scheme. The top two bits of byte 8 become 10 , which is why the 17th hex digit of almost every UUID you see is 8 , 9 , a or b . Everything else stays random: 122 bits of it. Is "random and never collides" a contradiction? The birthday paradox says collisions become likely around the square root of the space, w

In this full guide, you’ll learn: 📛 Why most AI browser agents fail on modern websites. 🧱 How browser fingerprinting and anti-bot systems work. ⛑️ How to build an AI browser agent using JavaScript (Node.js) that combines Gemini, Playwright , and Bright Data to browse real websites, extract live data, analyze, reason, and generate reports locally without maintaining fragile anti-bot infrastructure ourselves that breaks 5 days later. 🗃️ How to setup Bright Data production-ready browser sessions for AI agent automation without user’s assistance manually. 🪁Introduction Building unrestricted anonymous browser automation has developed far beyond writing Playwright scripts that click buttons and scrape HTML. Modern websites actively detect automated traffic using browser fingerprints , TLS signatures , IP reputation, and behavioral analysis, making reliable automation significantly more challenging than it was just a few years ago. Modern AI browser agents don’t usually fail because they’re arbitrary. Their reasoning, prompts, and planning loops are often sophisticated. The execution layer underneath is fragile. Most tutorials show how to connect an LLM to a browser, execute a few Playwright commands , and declare you’ve built an autonomous agent. await page . goto ( url ) await page . click ( selector ) await page . type ( selector , text ) In reality, you’ve ONLY automated a browser. Commercial sites don’t gauge how intelligent your agent is. They judge whether they believe your browser is genuine. Before a page even finishes loading, they inspect what your browser actually is: the TLS handshake , IP reputation, browser fingerprints, canvas and WebGL fingerprints , cookies, device characteristics, and even the rhythm of your connection. Dozens of signals are examined in the time it takes the page to start loading. If those signals don’t look authentic, your agent rarely reaches the real application. Instead, it encounters CAPTCHA challenges, verification pages, silent re

The most dangerous moment in an AI-built app project is not when the code breaks. It is earlier. It is the moment where your idea is still blurry, the AI coding tool is sitting there politely, and you type: Build me an app that... That sentence feels productive. It also gives the tool permission to make a pile of decisions you have not made yet. Who is the app for? What is version one? Which workflow matters first? What data has to exist? What should not be built yet? What would make the first version successful? If those answers are missing, AI has to guess. And AI guessing at product shape is how beginners end up with a login system, dashboard, profile editor, notifications panel, admin area, billing flow, and settings page before one real user problem has been solved. That is not momentum. That is software confetti. I like AI coding tools. I use them heavily in real app work. But the tool gets much better when the project has boundaries before code starts changing. So before you ask AI to code your first app, run the idea through a checklist. Not a giant business plan. Not a pitch deck. Not a 47-tab spreadsheet that makes you feel like you joined a corporate strategy retreat by accident. A practical beginner checklist. The goal is simple: turn a rough app idea into something AI can help you build without inventing the whole product for you. 1. Can You Name The Person? Do not start with "users." Start with one person you can picture. Bad: This app is for people who want to be more productive. Better: This app is for freelance designers who need one place to track client feedback, revision status, and final file delivery. Bad: This app is for musicians. Better: This app is for guitarists who want to capture riff ideas quickly on their phone without opening a full mobile studio app. Bad: This app is for students. Better: This app is for college students who want to scan textbook chapters and turn them into study notes before an exam. When you name the person, the ap

I spent over 20 years working in industrial maintenance as a boilermaker. Most of that time was in refinery shutdowns and turnarounds—high-pressure environments where systems either hold or fail. There is no “mostly working” in that world. That experience has shaped how I approach software development. ⸻ I’m not just “learning to code.” I’m building systems. I’m currently working on transitioning into web development, but I’m not approaching it as a tutorial exercise I’m building real projects from day one—and documenting the process as I go. Not theory. Not exercises. Actual systems that are meant to run. ⸻ What I’m building right now A portfolio site that behaves like a system (kmwebdev.me) This isn’t a “personal website” in the usual sense. It’s a live system under controlled change. I treat it like industrial maintenance work: versioned updates instead of redesigns small, controlled changes only tracking what changed and why stability over aesthetics Nothing gets changed without intent. ⸻ A production-focused email framework (Skeleton Framework) Alongside the portfolio work, I’m building a separate system for HTML email development. Email is one of the most constrained environments in web development. Rendering is inconsistent, standards are partial, and modern CSS support is unreliable across many clients. So instead of fighting those constraints, I’m building a framework specifically designed around them. The focus is simple: predictable rendering in real-world email clients It’s still early, but it’s being developed with production use in mind—not experimentation. ⸻ The way I work hasn’t changed—only the tools have In industrial maintenance, you learn a few hard rules: don’t assume—verify don’t scale chaos don’t change more than you can test document everything that matters So I carry that directly into development: versioned releases (v1.0, v1.3.6, etc.) controlled incremental changes explicit documentation of limitations real-world testing across environmen

Hello, I'm Maneshwar. I'm building git-lrc, a Micro AI code reviewer that runs on every commit. It is free and source-available on Github. Star git-lrc to help devs discover the project. Do give it a try and share your feedback. Every CS program hammers the same seven into you. Arrays, linked lists, hash tables, stacks, queues, graphs, trees. You could probably recite their Big O complexities in your sleep at this point, and honestly, for 90% of the code you'll ever write, that's plenty. But every now and then a system hits a wall that none of the seven basics can handle gracefully, and someone had to invent a weirder tool to patch the gap. I went down a rabbit hole recently looking at a handful of these, and I liked them enough that I wanted to write them up properly instead of just leaving forty open tabs to rot. Fair warning, there is some depth here. Get a drink. When your hash table can't promise you a fast answer: Bloom filters Normal hash tables are great until you need to ask "have I possibly seen this before" across a dataset way too big to store in memory. Think a crawler checking billions of URLs, or a database deciding whether it's even worth going to disk to look for a row. A Bloom filter solves this by giving up on certainty in one direction. It's a fixed array of bits, plus a small handful of independent hash functions. Adding an item flips a handful of bits on. Checking for an item hashes it the same way and checks whether those same bits are on. If any single bit is off, that item was never added, full stop, no ambiguity. If they're all on, the item was probably added, but two unrelated items can accidentally light up the same bits, so you might get a false alarm. The asymmetry is the entire design. Zero false negatives, occasional false positives. It's the data structure equivalent of a metal detector at a stadium gate. It'll never wave through someone with a knife, but it might beep at your belt buckle and make you empty your pockets for nothing.

When you google "how to build a chat app in Node.js," the very first result will almost certainly point you to Socket.IO. It is the de facto standard for a reason. When I started my project, I used it without a second thought. It worked like magic. But as I got deeper into the project, that magic started to feel more like a black box. I eventually ripped out Socket.IO and replaced it with raw, native WebSockets. It was a daunting decision, but having built and managed it myself, I have some strong opinions on what Socket.IO abstracts away, what I had to build from scratch, and whether the headache was actually worth it. The Magic of Socket.IO (And Why We Use It) To understand why walking away from Socket.IO is hard, you have to understand exactly how much heavy lifting it does for you behind the scenes. It isn't just a WebSocket library; it is a real-time framework. The Polling Fallback: Historically, if a user's corporate firewall blocked WebSockets, Socket.IO would seamlessly downgrade to HTTP long-polling. Automatic Reconnections: If a user drives through a tunnel and loses the connection, Socket.IO automatically handles the exponential backoff to reconnect them when they emerge. Rooms and Namespaces: It gives you a beautiful socket.to("room-1").emit() API for broadcasting messages to specific groups of users. Heartbeats: It manages ping/pong messages under the hood to ensure the connection hasn't silently died. When you drop Socket.IO, you lose all of this for free. So, Why Did I Walk Away? First, the fallback mechanism is largely a relic of the past. Today, native WebSocket support across modern browsers and network infrastructure is essentially ubiquitous. I didn't need to ship a massive client bundle just to support HTTP polling for the 0.1% of edge cases. Second, the lock-in is real. If you use Socket.IO on the client, you must use a Socket.IO server implementation. You can't just connect to a standard WebSocket server. I wanted the freedom to swap out my ba

Hey dev community! I don't have a PC yet, so I challenged myself to build an open source ethical hacking & "security audit" tool called ImCurvin' completely on my phone screen. Here is my honest background: I just started learning programming 6 months ago (yes, January 2026!). Since then, I've been fully focused on coding. Just 2 weeks ago, I decided to jump into cybersecurity. To be honest, I hate memorizing dry theories. I prefer focusing purely on the logic and finding cracks in systems. While I am a bit lazy with documentation, I am doing my best to learn all the official "technical terms" along the way! The project currently stands around 1,155 lines of code (993 Bash, 162 Python), i want it to be minimalist. The tool is fully modularized with separate payload directories, though the overall formatting might look a bit messy since every single character was typed on a smartphone touch screen. I want to keep this post super short, so please check out the full features, code documentation, and contribution guidelines directly inside my repository: Check out https://github.com/Skokoo/ImCurvin Feel free to check it out, and please submit a Pull Request or open an issue if you want to help a beginner clean up and optimize the code!
