0ctane is a longtime hobbyist hacker, with experience primarily in UNIX systems and hardware. Holding no official training or technical employment, 0ctane spends most of their free time building and restoring older computer systems, hanging out at surplus stores and tracking down X86 alternatives with an occasional dabbling in OSX and 802.11 exploitation. Other interests include SDR and RF exploration, networking, cryptography, computer history, distributed computing...really anything that sounds cool that I happen to stumble on at 3am.
