Hello, world!

    var size = 0
    sysctlbyname(key, nil, &size, nil, 0)
    var buf = [CChar](repeating: 0, count: size)
    sysctlbyname(key, &buf, &size, nil, 0)
    return String(cString: buf)
}

print("Hostname: \(sysctlStr("kern.hostname"))")

I’m Lakhan Lothiyi, commonly known as llsc12 online. I study computer science and AI at university, and I’ll be posting about various Apple development things here for the most part!

This won’t be my first blog post unironically, since I wrote about some malware I found recently. It’s a little informal because I didn’t expect to publish it!

Thanks for checking out my site!
