Recently something interesting happened.

My research on DLL hijacking detection was referenced in work from the National Cyber Security Centre (Cyber Defence Analysis).

The section “37 Sysmon Events. One Complete DLL Hijacking Attack” came from my analysis of malware telemetry showing how code execution occurred without triggering alerts.

To clarify: the detection PoC mentioned later isn’t mine — my contribution focused on identifying the detection gap.

Right now I’m continuing to explore:

• Sysmon event correlation • Detection blind spots in Windows telemetry • Why some attacks still bypass common logging assumptions

If you're working on detection engineering, threat hunting, or malware analysis, I’d be happy to exchange ideas. #threathunting #Malwareanalysis #Medium #Infosec #detectionengineering

Here's the first 3 things I analyze on a low-converting website: value proposition & messaging user flow & friction trust signals I quickly explain each one below 🧵

value proposition & messaging Does the site clearly explain who it’s for, the problem it solves, and the outcome visitors get within seconds?

This is my entry for the Contra Kittl challenge. Before AI, there was imagination. For years, I used to spend hours in Photoshop, building worlds that existed only in my mind & imagination. It lived in layered PSD files, shared with a handful of people, forgotten in my hard drive. Then came AI. For the first time, my imagination doesn't just exist, it moves. It breathes. And now, the whole world can see it the way I always did. "There are wonders in this world. For those with eyes to see them."

I recently rescued a project that revealed a huge trap in how businesses choose tech partners.

The site's foundation was crumbling: outdated PHP and an EOL builder. The previous agency happily wanted to bill for further patches, but no one took responsibility to say: "This architecture is dead."

The client hesitated to hire me because I'm a solo freelancer. A larger agency felt like the "safer" bet. But equating headcount with security is exactly what got them into this mess.

Agencies have ticketing systems; freelancers have personal accountability. I don't bill for band-aids; I build solid foundations.

We're now migrating to a clean Webflow setup. Fixing tech debt is easy. Rebuilding trust is the real work.

Ever noticed this "safety in numbers" illusion? 👇
