hardtokidnap/README.md

Hey there, I'm Hardtokidnap

QA engineer by trade. I build tools and take software apart to see what could work better.
Sometimes I find vulnerabilities. Then I write reports and give maintainers unexpected homework.
I break things on purpose (professionally) and my own brain (recreationally).

What I actually do here

• Build tools nobody asked for but I needed at 2am
• Automate stuff in 6 hours that would take me 2 minutes to do myself
• Turn “that’s weird” into a bug report
• Start projects with full conviction
  ◦ Abandon them with full closure
• Occasionally finish something

🛠️ Side quests: Cursed stacks, automation, Unity tooling, and self-hosted services
🔍 Security: Vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and malware analysis
📋 Status: Yes

Occasionally finish something (proof)
