Completed Projects

  • Passman

-Passman is a password manager that I created in Python to practice my programming and command line skills. It is intended to be used in combination with SSH, and provides protection with secure asymmetric RSA encryption and stores your encrypted information.

-Passman was originally created as a client-server architecture in Java using tls/ssl sockets, however I decided to remake it in Python and use it in combination with SSH


  • Home Server

-Created a home server in my college dorm by buying a mini pc, installing Ubuntu server on it, then implementing a tunneling software in combination with a VPS and reverse proxy in order to provide a static domain. I access this server mainly through SSH, which is made easier by using Gnu screen program to create different terminal processes. I am also able to manage this server from my cell phone.

-I use this server to self host gaming servers, host my password manager, create/experiment with CTFs, and for hands on learning of concepts from the CompTIA Network+ curriculum
