👤 Mr-A-Hacker
I’m 14 years old. A student. An ethical hacker. A builder of LAN-only simulations that teach, reveal, and protect.
I design systems that run offline — no cloud, no noise — just pure signal. My tools simulate real-world cybersecurity behavior in safe, controlled environments. Every project is modular, copy-paste-safe, and built for education.
I don’t build exploits. I build awareness.
I don’t chase vulnerabilities. I simulate truth.
I believe that ethical hacking starts with understanding — and ends with empowerment.
🧠 What I Build
- TickFlock — A LAN-only social hub with login, chat, reactions, and live media. Built to simulate digital behavior and forensic logging.
- photo_trace_project — Upload photos, auto-trace them into line art, and pin them to GPS coordinates on a local map. Teaches metadata awareness and spatial visualization.
- cast_alert.py — A local alert system that logs timestamped events and casts audio to Chromecast devices. Used for testing device control and forensic triggers.
- VeritasCore (concept) — A truth engine that reveals what systems know about you — and how they present it.
Every tool I build is designed for classrooms, Raspberry Pi labs, and future defenders.
No internet required. No risk. Just simulation, logging, and teachable moments.
🛡️ My Philosophy
I’m 14 — and I take cybersecurity seriously.
I build tools that help others understand how systems behave, how data flows, and how digital truth can be revealed.
I believe in:
- Simulation over exploitation
- Consent and clarity
- Offline by design
- Modular, teachable code
- Family-safe, classroom-ready tools
I build for students, siblings, and future defenders.
This isn’t just about code. It’s about legacy.
📊 Tech Curiosity Survey ░▒▓█
🧠 Why This Survey Matters
Technology is everywhere — but understanding it isn’t.
I created this survey to explore how people interact with digital systems: what confuses them, what excites them, and what they wish existed.
This isn’t about collecting data. It’s about designing better simulations — tools that reflect real user experiences, real misunderstandings, and real curiosity. Every answer helps shape future projects like TickFlock, photo_trace_project, and VeritasCore.
Your input helps me:
- Identify blind spots in digital awareness
- Design tools that are more intuitive and teachable
- Simulate real-world confusion and curiosity
- Empower others to understand how systems behave — and how to defend them
🧠 No personal info required. Just your thoughts.
