Hi there!

Thank you for visiting my place on the internet.

This site is like a personal tech diary. A place to capture experiments and ideas on my tech journey. Some things work, some break, all of them teach me something.

Nothing to serious just a curious computer nerd trying to document his journey. (more about me)

posts/: polished write-ups of things I’ve built, fixed, or explored in detail.

notes/: half-finished ideas, quick refs, cheatsheets, and fragments from my Obsidian vault.

The content of my website is also available as an interactive Terminal:
TRY ME → ssh guest@makol.li

Buffer Overflow 32 Bit

This is a short write-up I created for the Secure Software module, where we explored how to build secure applications and how common attacks actually work. I decided to share it here because I learned a lot by visualizing what happens on the stack. Our work received the highest grade, but I can’t guarantee that everything is 100% accurate. If you spot anything off, I’d love to hear from you!
