Hi, my name is Niklas and I'm a computer enthusiast/hacker/engineer from Germany.

My main interests with regard to technology include free software, dynamic high-level languages, functional programming, system programming and IT security.

Currently I work for an IT security company where I work with exploits and develop payloads as part of a framework for client-side post-exploitation. I also write software demonstrating the exploitation of security-related issues, including man-in-the-middle attacks on online banking interfaces and tools to extract data from social networks.

Some stuff:

• dryscrape, a Python web-scraping library for data extraction from Javascript-heavy web applications
• Vimium: Contributed an UI for fuzzy completion
• ideone.org Chrome Integration, a shameless hack of Felix Kling's excellent Codingpad extension. Can be used to really swiftly execute code snippets in different languages without navigating away from StackOverflow ;)
