My real name is Daniele, but I’m known online as “Otacon22“, a nickname derived from the videogame Metal Gear Solid.

I consider myself following some kind of hacking philosophy. My interests fly around engineering, networking, programming, system administration. I like programming in Python and C.

I’m a proud user GNU/Linux. I’ve been using it for several years.
I’ve used to be very interested in robotics, electronics, automation and I’ve built a lot of devices and experiments when I was a teenager. Lately I’ve became extremely interested in telecommunication systems, computer networks of any kind and network security.

I recently graduated from the Computer Engineering M.Sc. course at Politecnico di Milano in Italy.
I’m member of POuL – Politecnico Open unix Labs , a no-profit student organization who promote free software and open source by organizing talks, lectures and providing assistance.

This blog is meant to be a space for me to publish literally anything flowing in my mind, mainly about my study/hacking topics, but also about anything else like my trips in Japan.

It’s also possible to find me (under the “Otacon22” nickname) on IRC networks like AzzurraNet (Italian), 2ch (Japanese) and Freenode (worldwide).
