ValdΓͺnio "0xrh0d4m1n" Marinho
Welcome, fellow traveler of the digital frontier. I am 0xrh0d4m1n, a hacker, a builder, and a defender of the digital commons. I operate at the intersection of cybersecurity, open-source, and digital sovereignty, a place where freedom is measured in bits, and anonymity is not a crime, but a right.

Nowadays, where mass surveillance has become the norm, where centralization threatens autonomy, and where the balance of power tilts toward those who control information, I stand for decentralization, privacy, and the hacker ethos.

This space is my digital manifesto, a small place of my insights, tools, and knowledge for those who seek to secure, defend, and freedom. If you are here, chances are you are part of the resistance, whether you know it yet or not.

πŸ“‘ My Mission

The fight for privacy is not about hiding, it is about maintaining control over our own lives. True hackers are builders, not just breakers; they create systems that empower rather than enslave.

I dedicate this space to the preservation of digital freedom, sharing:
- Practical cybersecurity knowledge for those who seek to defend themselves;
- Writeups and analyses of real-world attacks and vulnerabilities;
- Cryptographic wisdom which is not an option anymore, but a necessity;
- Open-source software and tools to fight against digital oppression.

This is a place for builders, defenders, and rebels. If you believe in a future where privacy is a fundamental right, where cryptography is not a crime, and where open-source is the foundation of security, then you are home my friend.


πŸ”’ A Quote to Remember

"The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them."

β€” Hal Finney πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ

The first recipient of a Bitcoin transaction. A cypherpunk legend. A man ahead of his time.
