-## Why?
-
-I started this project to practice my systems programming skills, specifically networking related things. The networking code in this project (under `/lib`) is probably what I'm most proud of in this project. After that I started trying to learn some common obfuscation methods I've seen used in the wild. I've used this project mostly to improve my skills of managing a 'larger' project. Things relating to having a consistent code style, documenting features and development tasks are really important skills to have when managing a codebase like this.
