Ian Knight

I build, harden, and document infrastructure, networking, and security systems.

My work centers on infrastructure, networking, and security: designing systems, hardening them, and troubleshooting them when they break. This site documents that work: the tools I've built, the infrastructure I run, and what I've learned doing it.

IT Skills Kit

What started as one little tool for cleaning up logs before I pasted them somewhere kept growing. A CLI translator here, a subnet calculator there, then a handful of hands-on labs, and eventually it made more sense to stop pretending they were separate projects. Here's what's in the kit so far, and why I built each piece.

Log Sanitizer

I kept running into the same problem: a log full of IPs, hostnames, and passwords that I needed to paste into a ticket or hand to an AI for help, and absolutely didn't want to hand-redact line by line. So I built a tool that does it for me, in real time, without any of it ever leaving my machine. Here's how it works, and why I still reach for it more than anything else in the kit.

Making Browser Games

I've been quietly rebuilding the games I grew up playing: a Doom-style shooter, a Dig Dug clone, a Galaga-style shooter, and a few more, each one just a single HTML file, no frameworks, no build step. Part nostalgia, part wanting to actually understand how they work under the hood. Here's what I learned building each one.
