Manifesto

I am the Byte Architect. I hack stuff. I do security, and many other things.

Human life is based on carbonium. Mine on Deletium.

I am not the average tie-die guy feeding you PowerPoints full of buzzwords and redundant bureaucracy. Never been. Never will be. I am the guy back in the shadows—the one you feel, though you cannot see him. I don’t “manage” security; I design it into the silicon.

I dissect systems. I bring facts and measures. I leave the “syntax of compromise” to others—I’ve got better things to do, and more riffs to shred.

If you are looking for someone with no aim, look away. Your time is valuable, but my time is non-negotiable. I bring numbers, not stories. Stories are for teenagers; facts are for Architects.

Nevertheless, if you have a massive project that challenges the machine, or if you actually want to learn how the gears turn, hang around.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Deep-Dive Vulnerability Research: Root cause breakdowns, not just crash logs.
  • Advanced Reverse Engineering: Primarily macOS/ARM64. The art of deconstruction.
  • Malware Behavioural Exploration: Understanding the intent, shredding the payload.
  • Tool Development: Notes on 0tH, theMechanix, and the philosophy of minimalist code.
  • Research without Safety Nets: Digging deeper than corporate compliance allows.

What You Won’t Find

  • Thought Leadership Theater: No “strategic” fluff.
  • Security Listicles: You won’t find “5 ways to secure your Mac” here.
  • Corporate Marketing: I don’t sell fear. I provide clarity.
  • Waste: If I wouldn’t read it, I won’t write it.

FAQ (The Shredder’s Doctrine)

Q: Who inspires you? A: Dave Mustaine for the relentless rhythm; Gauss because he’s the Chuck Norris of Math; my cats, for their peak efficiency.

Q: Why don’t you do Open Source? A: Open Source is a great concept, but the communities often aren’t. I’m a nice guy, and I’d like to stay that way.

Q: How can we trust you? A: You shouldn’t. If you did, my lessons would have been wasted time. Verify the code. Audit the logic. Trust the silicon.

The Usual (Due) Disclaimers

  • Opinions mine: Not my customers’. Fair, innit?
  • Knowledge is Power: Power demands responsibility. I provide the tools; what you do with them defines you.

  • Zero Sponsors: If I praise a tool, it’s because it shreds. If I trash it, it’s because it’s bloat. Got a lot of Deletium to use! Simple as that.
