Curious about systems, committed to privacy, open knowledge, the planet, and the life we share it with.
I'm Gabriel (@secgabriel), a Linux user interested in cybersecurity, system hardening, privacy, and open-source software. I enjoy understanding how systems work, documenting what I learn, and contributing practical improvements to tools and projects.
Beyond technology, I'm an environmental activist and an animal-welfare advocate, and I'm fascinated by astronomy, space exploration, and the universe. I believe technical knowledge should be used responsibly and that digital freedom, public knowledge, and care for the natural world matter.
| System | What I use it for |
|---|---|
| Arch Linux | Daily Linux environment, system administration, and open-source work |
| BlackArch Linux | Security-testing tools and authorized lab work |
| Whonix | Privacy-focused compartmentalized environments and Tor-based networking |
