https://alexlynd.comWhat Inspired You to Make This?
I've always been passionate about accessible resources & open-source hardware, so I decided to start a project that fused both of my interests, and the "Nugget" was born! This was a cat-themed tool I designed to teach beginners about cybersecurity and hacking through my video tutorials on the Hak5 YouTube show in a fun form factor. The project has since rebranded under the "DevKitty" name and we've been teaching at makerspaces, hacking conferences, and many other exciting venues!
