Welcome to my little hideout! Here I post random meaningless crap, useless documentation, unfunny memes and, very occasionally, some useful information.

Who and what?

I’m Plugged Potato, so called because my brain works like a fucking potato half the time. I’m a pentester by trade but seem to wear several different hats, which one always depends on how broken something is on the day.

When I’m not hacking away you’ll find me scraping my knees open on a climbing wall or playing video games that probably should have died years ago.

Why?

Why this site? Well I need a somewhat anonymous outlet for my thoughts so why not make it public.

Where?

I’m based in the tea and beer stained nation of the UK. London and Manchester smell a bit but otherwise it’s alright.

When?

If you’re bored or sad (or both) and want to guess my age:

• I am old enough to have watched Wacky Races as a kid.
• I am young enough to adore Pistachio above all other flavours.

Good luck.

HowToGeek has a decent enough article on the basics of PGP and encrypted email as a whole if you’ve never used it before.

Otherwise, I’m happy to accept messages on Mastodon and sometimes Twitter.
