My Tools
I use slackware 15 as my OS on my main laptop which is Thinkpad lenovo T510. It took me a lot of time, effort, and dedication to become as proficient as possible with this amazing OS. I have been familiar with it for about three consecutive years, primarily as a security researcher. While I mainly aim to be part of the red team, I use Windows like most people—not for personal use, but for penetration testing, hacking, and malware analysis.
