Opsec

These days I have to stay anonymous, as I have to prevent more people in my life from getting harmed by APT28 or APT29 . The 2021 luckystrike incident changed a lot about my operational security. If you're an organizer I'll have to get your guarantee that you're just using only my online pseudonym in any of your conference materials, bills, and other documents. If you can't abide by those rules, I have to decline your offer and I won't attend your conference.

You can ask around the dark corners of the clearnet about me if you're curious about what those psychopaths did to my family. Don't expect any honest answers from that kind of Gesindel though, as I'm their antichrist after all. Their insanity of accusing each other and eating themselves up is kind of amusing to watch.

Conferences

Sometimes you can find me on conferences holding a talk. The topics I'm holding talks about are mostly related to Cyber Defense or Cyber Security problems, the learnings of exploit campaigns and the analysis of malware samples. I also love to talk about EDR development techniques, what works and what doesn't against modern malware, and the implementation details and how we can fix the affected programs, bugs and weaknesses.

If you're a conference organizer, don't hesitate to ask for a talk. My talking style is mostly casual, as I'm trying to teach people with leading by example. Sometimes through live coding sessions, sometimes through live workshops, sometimes with casual talks that describe problems in software architecture or techniques, and sometimes about the ongoing cyber warfare landscape that is everchanging in its used strategies and advancements.

Meetups

I sometimes attend Gopher meetups and B-Sides events like most rational cyber security people. If you have an interesting meetup within the EU and around Central Europe, maybe we'll see each other?

Sometimes I also hold workshops on local meetups, where I try to make fun workshops that everyone can attend to and learn something new from it. I love to do live-coding workshops, because they're pretty rare, and I do them together with the audience so everyone is forced to get their hands dirty and can't be lazy in the back seats.

For example, the AI related tutorials that I also host on this website have been part of a little summer workshop series for the Heidelberg AI meetup .
