Mouse is a teenage boy living in Weston, one of Toronto's most notorious neighbourhoods. Every day is a struggle as he tries his best to make enough money selling marijuana to support his mother, who is recently single after his father's death. However, after being betrayed by his friend and dropped by his drug dealer, Mouse must find a new supplier and make new connections if he wants to survive, let alone make it to the top of the game.

Weston tells a tale that usually doesn’t get the chance to be told– and that is the unforgettable tale of the hood. Raw, real and riveting, the story must be told.

Most twenty-somethings fantasize about falling in love, attaining that dream career and then owning a house. All January Angel wants to do is die.

Hot Day in January chronicles a year in the life of 27-year-old January, an unemployed aspiring punk musician and recreational substance-abuser barely living in Toronto, Canada. When January finds herself evicted from yet another ramshackle apartment, she moves into her friend’s even more dilapidated place, spending her days dumpster diving for food and sleeping on a lumpy futon in the corner of a cigarette-infested room. But it’s okay because January has a plan: she’ll join the likes of Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse in the infamous 27 Club and die a famous musician by her next birthday. But with a penchant for dropping acid and taking off with strangers, how will this self-destructive nobody become a somebody?

Teaming up to form a band with her misfit friends, January soon finds herself swept up into the wild world of rock and roll as she struggles to learn the guitar and become a rock star in time to join the infamous club. Along the way, she finds herself in hilarious misadventures such as living illegally in America with a Kurt Cobain wannabe and engaging in terribly awkward exotic dancing. All things considered, her hectic and humorous escapades into the music world will force her to grapple with her future and question just how far she’s willing to go to be famous.

How To Run TOR as a Non-Root User

Hello Friends, Today I finally figured out something that had eluded for quite a while, and that is... the mysterious process of running TOR as a non-root user! Like many other novice hackers, I had tried to run TOR by adding a user in Kali Linux through the following CLI commands: $ useradd guest $ passwd guest $ runuser -l guest -c ./start-tor-browser.desktop Which gave me the lovely error message below: $ Tor Browser must be run within the X Window System This last output one gives us a clue: the X Window System is graphical interface, which means that we need to run this software outside the CLI (you can try downloading the xorg, but that proved to be much of a headache). To do this, go here: Log out as root and login as the user you created. The computer will load the GUI and you will now be able to run TOR as a non-root user! Please let me know if this tutorial helped you out! xoxo

Port Forwarding

Dear Diary, Today was a good day. I learned about a powerful new feature called Port Forwarding! Port Forwarding is a feature of SSH that allows you to redirect traffic from on a target machine to another using a specified IP and port. This is a powerful tool because it allows you to relay communication from a target machine to an external host (i.e. your computer!). All you need is: SSH Credentials The port of the resource you want to access Let's say the web server is hosted on 127.0.0.1:8443. You can use the command below to access that webserver: ssh -L 8443:127.0.0.1:8443 <username>@10.10.10.184 Where you can now execute curl commands to retrieve information on that website (without port forwarding, this would've resulted in an access denied error!) curl -k -i -u admin:<password> https://localhost:8443

The Commits in the Sandbox

One night I dreamed a dream. I had started early on the networking assignment with my partner. Across the dark VM terminal flashed commits from my fork. For each fork, I noticed two sets of commits in the repo, One belonging to me and one to my partner. After the last commit of my life flashed before me, I feel into a very deep chemically induced sleep. After being released from the hospital two weeks later, I looked back at the commits in the repo. I noticed that there was only one set of commits. I walked in a daze to the computer lab to find my partner finishing up his machine learning assignment. Suddenly, he looked up at me and blinked. A tear came to my eye. “My precious partner,” he said as he put his pencil down. "You are my group member and I would never leave you, even during our most difficult ARP tests.” My jaw dropped. “…Did you really code an entire router by yourself!?” I exclaimed. He smiled. “No, you were with me. F...
