I'm working on a tool named cert-ripper which should be able to help me deal with x509 certificates. I tried to implement certain functionalities provided by openssl command. While using openssl, I found it really confusing and cryptic.

Currently cert-ripper can do the following:

  • fetch certificate chain from a host
  • save certificates in different formats (PEM, DER, P7B, OpenSSL text)
  • generate and decode certificate signing requests (CSR)
  • generate self-signed certificates

If anyone interested, to code can be found here: github.com/recon-tools/cert-ripper-go

While working on this tool a managed to learn a lot about x509 certificates and I also had the chance to dust off my Go knowledge.

I've been doing a refresher on Django, Python, Bootstrap, ReactJs and NextJs for the past couple of weeks to get ready to apply for jobs. So far I got an invite to apply for a media company overseas in one of the job boards I'm on. But to answer the question, I'm working on Rantr. A Ranting platform just for the sake of ranting lol

I am developing a web application with Angular to polish my skills as it is a new framework for me, I thought I could develop it by Monday but it will not be possible as I am missing a lot of things. 😫 But one thing that I cannot deny is that I have learned a lot, what the application does is collect all the relevant information about the rick and morty television series, by the way the application consumes an API with all the information. I'm so excited that in my country it's 04:25 AM and I'm still glued to Vscode. 😂😂😂

Very nice! Accessibility is one of those things that too many folks treat as an afterthought. Cool that you made that a focus. I hope your weekend work went well!
