Welcome to Dasho's Digital Hideout 🕵️
Your friendly neighborhood developer, bringing you the finest in underground tech since 2015About Me
Hey there, digital wanderer! I'm Dasho, a passionate developer who believes in the power of decentralized networks and privacy-first technology. When I'm not coding late into the night fueled by Cindona, you'll find me exploring the darker corners of the internet - not for malicious purposes, but to understand how systems work and how to make them better.What I Do
- Full-Stack Development: From backend APIs to sleek frontends, I build things that actually work
- Network Security Research: Understanding vulnerabilities to build stronger defenses
- Open Source Advocacy: Because proprietary software sucks ass
- Digital Privacy Education: Teaching others how to protect themselves online
My Digital Philosophy 🌐
"Privacy is not about hiding something. Privacy is about protecting everything." - Anonymous
In a world where big tech corporations harvest every click, scroll, and breath you take online, I believe in:
- Decentralization: No single point of failure, no single point of control
- Anonymity by Design: Your data should be yours, and yours alone
- Open Source Everything: Code should be auditable, transparent, and free
- End-to-End Encryption: If it's not encrypted, it's not private
Projects & Interests 🛠️
Current Focus
- Project 404: This very platform you're browsing - a darknet-friendly file sharing and community hub
- [SECRET PROJECT]: A [SOMETHING SECRET] built with privacy in mind
- Research: Currently diving deep into quantum computing and its implications for digital freedom
Technologies I Love
Languages: Python, JavaScript, PHP, Go, Rust
Databases: SQLite, PostgreSQL, Redis
Networks: Tor, I2P, Freenet, IPFS
Crypto: GPG, Signal Protocol, Monero, Zcash
Tools: Docker, Git, Wireshark, Burp SuiteThe Underground Scene 🕳️
I've been part of the digital underground since 2015, watching it evolve from simple BBSes to today's sophisticated networks. Some thoughts:What Makes a Good Darknet Service?
- Reliability: Uptime matters when you can't just Google an alternative
- Security: Proper OpSec isn't optional - it's survival
- Community: The best services foster real human connections
- Simplicity: Complex tools exclude people who need them most
My Contributions to the Scene
- Maintaining bhcli since July, 2025
- Contributed patches to le-php-chat for better functionality and increased security
- Helped a group of 25 people set up secure communications during Defcon (yes... in competition)
- Infrequent donor to organizations fighting for digital rights (I'm broke bro)
OpSec Corner 🔒
Because staying safe isn't just about technology - it's about habitsDaily Practices
- Compartmentalization: Different identities for different purposes
- Regular Sanitization: Clean browsers, clear logs, fresh VMs
- Hardware Rotation: Nothing lasts forever, including hard drives
- Social Engineering Awareness: The human is always the weakest link
Recommended Tools
OS: Tails, Qubes, Whonix
Browser: Tor Browser (properly configured)
Messaging: Signal, Briar, SimpleX (not Session)
Email: Self-hosted (with GPG)...
VPN: Lol no bro (but remember: VPN ≠ anonymity)Quick OpSec Tips
- Never reuse passwords across clearnet, darknet, or hardware. New login screen = new password.
- Assume all communications are monitored until proven otherwise
- Physical security is just as important as digital security
- When in doubt, don't - there's always another way
Fun Facts About Me 🎲
- I can solve a Rubik's cube consistently in under 1 minute
- My first computer was an 2010 Lenovo IdeaPad Y with 8gb of RAM
- I've read over 12 (and counting) Stephen King books, some more than 3 times
- Coffee preference: Colombian - black, like my terminal windows
- I actively collect badges and pins from around the world (just passed 400 last month)
- Favorite programming language changes with the moon phases... but mostly Rust and Go, and I'm getting into Zig.
- I once spent 3 hours trying to debug a bash script before realizing I had a typo (a dark tuesday indeed)

Final Thoughts 💭
The internet was supposed to democratize information and connect humanity. In many ways, it has - but it's also become a surveillance apparatus that would make Orwell weep. The darknet isn't about illegal activity (though it certainly exists) - it's about preserving the internet's original promise of free, open, and private communication.Every tool we build, every service we run, every person we help protect their privacy is a small act of resistance against digital tyranny. We're not criminals - we're digital freedom fighters, one encrypted message at a time.
Stay safe, stay anonymous, and remember: privacy is not dead as long as we keep fighting for it.
