radar_sar_rma VS eap_proxy

As part of a team at my last job, I worked on some core features of https://www.salesforce.com/products/experience-cloud/overvie... -- if I'm tricked into a bragging mood I like to say a book got written about it https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Guide-Salesforce-Communitie... The product is still useful to thousands of businesses and transitively their customers, so it's probably the most impact I've made even if it's a shared impact with many others.

Individually, nothing much. Maybe an old python2+numpy re-implementation of a slow matlab script for radar, specifically SAR RMA imaging: https://github.com/Jach/radar_sar_rma I still get the occasional ping about it. A handful of other things have over the years been helpful to a handful of other people, like a hacky jira-to-github-issues migration script, or a simple ranked choice voting counter using scraped web data. That's always nice, but nothing super impactful. I don't mind.

The inspiration is the EAP Proxy that I used to bypass the AT&T router and connect my router to the AT&T fiber, before I learned about the vulnerability that allowed me to copy the 802.1x certificate from the AT&T router to my router. https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy

I use an EAP proxy to put my router in front of theirs and got a %20 speed improvement.

With my wife, I built two kids both in college now. That's definitely the most impactful.

In the online world, I've contributed bits and pieces to open-source here and there as far back as the late 90s. I think my first contribution was to the shadow package, but I've contributed here and there to Apache, Radius, random packages that I use that I discover bugs in, etc.

A python script I wrote to allow folks to bypass AT&T's residential gateway was used by more people than I ever expected:

There are forum threads about people rooting these routers to try and extract the certificate/private keys from their provided router, which worked for a limited time with certain router models. For now, the most popular way to do it is with a tool like this: https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy

If you use a Ubiquiti router, then another method to bypass your ATT router is called EAP Proxy.

WEEELLLLLL, there is a way to get into a true bridge mode on some ATT fiber plans/service by using something like EAP-Proxy: https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy

If you're up for a more complex setup, it is possible to put your home network on AT&T Fiber without going through their boarder gateway. I've had luck using https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy to bypass the boarder gateway for traffic flows.
