Welcome to my website, a small corner of the internet that belongs to me. This site serves as both a personal portfolio and a knowledge-sharing platform where I document my journey, research findings, and insights on Cybersecurity and other related topics.
🔒 Security-First Approach
I created my site with a simple philosophy that's commonly understood within cybersecurity, that philosophy is "Less is More".
Less is More is a principle that is severely under-utilized in the modern world. Simplicity is often the best approach to security.
I tasked myself to build this site with a focus on minimalism and security. I wanted to utilize as little third-party tools, dependencies, and external connections as possible, while still delivering a website with full functionality.
📝 Technical Documentation & Research
One of my primary goals is to contribute meaningful content to the cybersecurity community. I want to educate and provide research materials through my detailed posts, malware samples, attack monitors, and other resources.
My goal is to provide resources for free and to ensure that just about anyone can easily learn cybersecurity and access resources with ease.
🚧 Less is More Philosophy
Unnecessary complexity introduces poor security hygiene, so much more can be done with less. This philosophy is reflected in every aspect of the site.
- Complete Control: Every aspect of the site's functionality is under my direct control, from routing to data handling.
- Dependencies: One of the only services my site depends on is Cloudflare. Who doesn't use Cloudflare anyways?
- No Database? No Problem: Less connections, less attack surface. My posts are stored as flat files, making them easy to manage and secure.
- Learning Experience: Building from the ground up allows me to understand every aspect of my site. It encourages me to learn new things.
🚀 Privacy Focus
I dislike wearing clothes with a brand's name plastered all over it. I am not a walking advertisement. My blog is essentially an extension of me, and I do not plan on serving ads here. The most I will do is recommend tools and services that I personally use and trust, just like a simple word-of-mouth recommendation I would make in person.
Your information is your own, there is no utilization of your data on my website. I do plan on implementing view count tracking but for personal analytics, I want to see which of my posts perform well. I do not need to know who visited my site, your data will not be used.
You can always visit my privacy policy page for more up-to-date information on data usage and protection practices.
🔧 Technical Architecture
The backend architecture follows a clean, modular approach:
- PHP Backend: Custom routing system with clean URL structure
- Data Management: JSON-based content storage with caching layers
- Assets: Media is stored within CDNs, except for a few exceptions
- Connections: Minimal external connections to reduce attack surfaces
This site represents more than just a portfolio—it's a testament to the values I hold as a security professional: transparency, continuous learning, community contribution, and the belief that security knowledge should be free and accessible to all.
