How I made $64k from deleted files – a bug bounty story (medium.com)
I built an automation that cloned and scanned tens of thousands of public GitHub repos for leaked secrets. For each repository I restored deleted files, found dangling blobs and unpacked .pack files to search in them for exposed API keys, tokens, and credentials. Ended up reporting a bunch of leaks and pulled in around $64k from bug bounties 🔥.

UML diagram for the DDD example in Evans' book (github.com/takaakit)
This project uses UML diagrams to illustrate the structure and behavior of the DDD example—a cargo shipping system—from Eric Evans' book (Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software). These diagrams are created based on the source code of the dddsample-core project on GitHub. The diagrams aim to help us understand how the example implements the strategic and tactical designs of DDD and the mechanisms by which it operates.
