Hello... it has recently come to my attention that there is a vulnerability in Quest Diagnostic's mailing system that allows anyone to send mail to any recipient, custom subject, and custom body without an account. I will not state the specifics since I just reported this to Quest yesterday and it hasn't been patched yet. I actually work with Quest sometimes at my job and I was poking around their website with BurpSuite when I noticed the potential to pull this off.

Vulnerability Discovered on Quest
Official Closure of Bunked and Tradez
Hello... unfortunately, today I have closed down these two services due to a lack of revenue. If anyone is interested in revamping these projects, the src can be found on my GitHub. Thanks you to everyone who supported these services.
Update to Mail Services
Hello... if you ever used webmail, you should change your password just in case. Oh, and Webmail is gone due to an exploit in Roundcube. None of our accounts seem to have been affected, but for obvious reasons we will not be using Roundcube anymore. If you already have an email through our service, you can still access everything through mail.salven.org. New registrations have been halted until further notice :(
XMR Merchant
Hello... I just set up an XMR merchant system using the Monero CLI wallet for Linux servers. Users enter their desired deposit amount, get a QR code with a unique subaddress, and the system credits their balance after 10 blockchain confirmations. It pulls the latest XMR price from CoinGecko's API. I will soon be releasing the src to GitHub. Seperately, I will also be making my XMR node available to the public :)
Projects
Blackjack Card Counting Simulator
Hello, I created this program to help me practice counting cards in standard blackjack. It has multiple game modes... it can either show you the true / running count, prompt you to guess, or you just play and it lets you know if you made the best move you could've. This program is equipped with a GUI and it was written in C++. The src is not yet on my GitHub but I plan to make it usable for all on this site.
Blackjack Odds Calculator
Hello, I made this program to simulate billions of blackjack games to calculate the odds and find the best possible outcome for the most rigged game of blackjack I've ever played. The casino in question is the California Grand Casino in Pachecho, CA. There are many random rules that this game has to give them an even larger edge, but the worst of all is the fact that they also have added jokers into the deck that have a value of 2. Although there is no way to gain an edge over the house in this game, there is a best strategy to play for certain hands. Src can be found on my GitHub.
Bunked - Roommate Finder
Unforunately this project is no longer after reaching 6,000 users due to my server provider charging too much and a lack of revenue. The src can be found on my GitHub, though.
