HHKB (Professional HYBRID Type-s) This keyboard is my life. There’s no going back to another one.

Hacking

  • Caido - My go-to for manual testing.
  • ZAP - Still a staple, though I lean towards Caido lately.

  • Metasploit - An old friend that introduced me to Ruby.

    • Ghostty - My main terminal due to its power and features like drop-down.
    • Warp - Nice terminal app, but I use Ghostty more; still use Warp for some features.
  • Shell: Zsh + Starship
  • Utilities:
    • General:
      • IRB - This is the Swiss Army Knife for Ruby developers
    • HTTP Clients:
      • HTTPie - Preferred for its intuitive design.
      • Curl - Widely used, a command-line staple.
    • eza - A replacement for ls. I love its design.
