🧠 Engineering Truth: My Journey in LAN-Only Cybersecurity Simulation

👤 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.
