Me

Me, if that's okay...

Hey! I’m Akash (pronounced: "ah-kah-sh") — but you probably know me as "Crow," the dude who made cybersecurity "content" on YouTube. When I’m not plaguing the internet with Styxian bilge for the masses, I’m usually playing OSRS, perfecting my ✨ whimsy ✨, or passed out somewhere. You can reach out to me here if you’re into that sort of thing.

Currently, I’m back in school chasing the dream I once gave up on: Okay, stop. I know this is cringe, but like IDC. earning a PhD in physics. This blog is where I’ll document the entire journey — from my undergrad courses (with reviews), to some pretty freaking awesome problems (with full solutions, if I survive), and everything in between — it’s all getting logged here.

As for the hacking and infosec content: that’s not going away. I’ll still keep all my old work up, and maybe even add to it occasionally when the stars align. Just bear with me while I migrate everything over from GitBook to this site. All of the malware development, binary exploitation, and other series are going to get integrated to this site in due time. Anyways, welcome and thanks for stopping by.

About This Site

The original idea for this website was the following sketch that I made on June 11th, 2025:

original site sketch
Crow's nest v0.0.1-rc4-alpha-fuh-pre-prototype-dev-beta release

Now, obviously it didn’t take me a full year to learn some webdev concepts and basically vibe code everything else to make this shitty little site, but life did get in the way as it seems to do so often. I spent a lot of timing learning front-end web-dev stuff, much to the dismay of my low-level-loving-lobbyists (s/o the big LLLL). I can still say that for the most part, I absolutely loathe web development, but I can’t lie it was really fun at times. Anyways, I thought I did a decent job bringing my vision to life and enhancing some facets of the original sketch.

Collaborators

This website was made from scratch with so much . I consulted my friends a lot for their input and suggestions for the website, namely: Jo, Zetty, and Lavender. The clinically insane one1 even drew fan art for Rupert the raccoon, which we all must appreciate:

rupert, the paragon of clumsy
Rupert, the paragon of (clu/whi)msy.
rupert, the dsm-5 100% completionist
I think you can infer more about the artist from the picture than the picture itself.
I hate zetty, I think
Do NOT accept whatever it is he's offering.

  1. Zetty. I’m talking about Zetty. ↩
