Tools
Below is a list of tools that I use on a regular basis for my cybersecurity/IT work. I created NONE of these tools, all credits go to their respective authors. This is not a particularly comprehensive list.
Email Security:
I also make use of virtual machines when analyzing potentially dangerous sites or files. Windows Sandbox is a convenient option (though the Windows 11 version introduced some quirks), but I also use Oracle VirtualBox.
Data Privacy
Data brokers such as Spokeo and ThatsThem have a surprising amount of information on people living in the United States. These are tools that I use to check who owns a phone number or email address, see who lives at an address, etc.
