Veneficus Mini

Spicy malware. Full kill-chain implant: exploit, escalate, pivot, poison, C2. Windows 10/11 x64 Rust source, released as-is and slightly broken on purpose.

GateX

Late-90s IRC TUI that re-keys the Fortinet Hunter Nuitka gate. Static unpack, XOR unmask, Docker cage. The ELF never runs on the host.

The pile on the desk.

PDFs I actually reopen. Shelf notes in my voice, then the book.

Rootkits and Bootkits

Alex Matrosov, Eugene Rodionov, and Sergey Bratus

The book I hand people when they ask why the kernel still believes the firmware. Boot path, UEFI, and the malware that lives underneath the OS you thought you were analyzing.

03Practice

Built for people who still read the advisory.

Four lanes. Same standard: enough technical depth to be useful, without turning the site into a drop.

0-day

Unpatched issues

Fresh findings, coordinated when they need to be, written when they are ready.

N-day

Reachability after the patch

What the advisory left out — leftover packages, composition, and still-live primitives.

Malware

Reverse-engineering notes

Loaders, C2, host fitness, persistence. Behavioral tells a SOC can actually use.

Notes

Everything else

Composition, vendor logic, and the ugly leftovers that do not fit a tidy label.
