My Cool Stuff


andy
A Better, Simple Shell

A fully functioning command-line shell written in C. Supports associative arrays like Awk, pipes, redirections, and the other standard shell features, along with a more sane syntax and significantly safer semantics. Many scripts I run every day on personal and professional machines are written in Andy.

mmv
Move Mapped/Multiple Files

A tool written in Rust to move and rename files in bulk. This is in my opinion the most extensible and most effective file moving and renaming tool every created, and that is not an exaggeration.

totp
ARM64- and x64-powered 2-Factor Authentication Codes

A tool to generate 2-factor authentication codes written in C. All algorithms are written by hand and both inline assembly and CPU intrinsics are used in order to produce highly-efficient code, most notably this project takes advantage of SHA-1 extensions to the ARM64 and x64 architectures to efficiently compute SHA-1 hashes.

smallbrain
Optimizing Brainfuck Interpreter in x86 Assembly

A Brainfuck interpreter written in x86-64 assembly that performs code compilation, optimization, and proper error reporting.
