Hacker Planet Philadelphia cybersecurity lab
Hacker Planet is the official site of Hacker Planet LLC - my Philadelphia cybersecurity practice for Blue Team retainers, authorized Red Team assessments, OSINT support, open-source edge tools, and field hardware. I serve the Philly metro and remote US clients.
Why I built this
Dashboards drown people. Signals don't.
I kept seeing the same gap: SOCs need evidence, executives need signal, homelabs need proof the sensor is alive - SQLite audit trails and e-ink status you notice at 2 AM.
