About Aaron

Hi, I’m Aaron, a Cybersecurity Professional with a passion for offensive security, including reverse engineering, penetration testing of operational technology, and exploit development. My enthusiasm for cybersecurity extends beyond my professional work, and I enjoy engaging in related activities during my spare time. I started a blog to share my research and findings, showcase CTF writeups, and contribute to the growth of the community’s knowledge.

👾 I LOVE Reverse Engineering!!

I’m passionate about delving into the intricacies of software and hardware, uncovering their secrets, and understanding how they work from the inside out. Reverse engineering is not just a hobby for me; it’s a way of life.

Coffee keeps me alive

My constant companion on this journey is a good cup of coffee. It’s the fuel that powers my late-night coding sessions and deep dives into complex problems.

🧩 I like attending CTF events to further my knowledge

Capture the Flag (CTF) events are my playground. They challenge me, push my limits, and help me continuously expand my knowledge and skills in cybersecurity.
